Summary
This is a randomised study to be conducted in patients with severe to very severe Chronic
Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) to establish whether there is a need for these patients
to be continuously treated with an inhaled corticosteroid on top of two potent long-acting
bronchodilators. The study also aims to identify the type of patients who are likely to
benefit from inhaled corticosteroid maintenance therapy.
