People with COPD have lots of questions. RELIANCE is designed to help get answers.
Over the last fifteen years, 20,000 patients have joined studies to prove azithromycin and roflumilast help people with COPD. Today, we need 1250 people to know which drug works best for whom: for current smokers, former smokers, women, men, and for patients with other diseases.
RELIANCE is a head-to-head comparison of these two medicines to learn how long-term use improves the lives of people with COPD.
Keeping people out of the hospital and reducing deaths
Being hospitalized for a COPD attack is a serious problem. If we can reduce hospitalizations for COPD, we know people live longer, feel better. What we don’t know is which drug works better to do this: roflumilast or azithromycin. We also don’t know which drug works best if you are a current or former smoker.
