CLINICAL TRIALS PROFILE FOR SPIRIVA RESPIMAT

All Clinical Trials for SPIRIVA RESPIMAT

Trial ID	Title	Status	Sponsor	Phase	Start Date	Summary
NCT00239447 ↗	Efficacy and Safety Comparison of Tiotropium Inhalation Solution (Respimat Inhaler) and Spiriva HandiHaler in COPD	Completed	Boehringer Ingelheim	Phase 3	2002-11-01	Non-inferiority of lung function response to Tiotropium inhalation solution compared to Spiriva HandiHaler
NCT00281567 ↗	Efficacy and Safety Comparison of Tiotropium Inhalation Solution (Respimat Inhaler) and Spiriva HandiHaler in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)	Completed	Boehringer Ingelheim	Phase 3	2002-08-01	Comparison of lung function response between tiotropium inhalation solution and Spiriva HandiHaler.
NCT00292448 ↗	A Randomised, Double-blind, Crossover Study of Ba679BR Respimat in Patients With Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)	Completed	Boehringer Ingelheim	Phase 2	2006-02-01	The objective of this trial is to compare the efficacy and the safety of Ba 679 BR Respimat 5 ug once daily to tiotropium inhalation capsule 18 ug (Spiriva inhalation capsule) in a crossover study of 4-week treatment periods in patients with COPD.
NCT00981851 ↗	Interaction in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease Experiment	Completed	Radboud University	N/A	2009-09-01	The final purpose of this study is to determine whether bronchodilation and cigarette smoking in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) patients interact, resulting in an increase of cardiovascular disease. The aim of this part of the study is to demonstrate the basic mechanism: Does increased respiratory function after administration of a bronchodilator in patients with COPD lead to elevated pulmonary retention of the harmful compounds in inhaled cigarette smoke and to short-term biological effects associated with cardiovascular disease?
NCT01179347 ↗	Tiotropium Bromide in Cystic Fibrosis	Completed	Boehringer Ingelheim	Phase 3	2010-09-01	To date, there have been no formal clinical studies completed using tiotropium in CF patients. While there is a large body of evidence demonstrating the efficacy and safety of tiotropium in patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), relatively little is known about its efficacy and safety in patients with a diagnosis of cystic fibrosis. Therefore, Boehringer Ingelheim proposed to profile the long acting anticholinergic tiotropium and to generate adequate clinical data for use as a bronchodilator in paediatric and adult CF. The phase III trial (205.438) is a part of the approved Paediatric Investigation Plan (PIP) agreed for Spiriva® Respimat® in Cystic Fibrosis.
NCT01694771 ↗	Co-administration of Olodaterol Respimat® and Tiotropium Handihaler®	Completed	Boehringer Ingelheim	Phase 3	2012-09-01	The overall objective of this study is to assess efficacy and safety of 12 weeks, once daily, orally inhaled co-administration of olodaterol 5 µg (delivered by the Respimat® Inhaler) and tiotropium (delivered by the Handihaler® as Spiriva Handihaler®), compared to tiotropium (Spiriva Handihaler®) monotherapy on lung function in patients with COPD.

SPIRIVA RESPIMAT: Clinical Trials Update, Market Analysis, and Projections

Last updated: February 20, 2026

What are recent developments in the clinical trials for SPIRIVA RESPIMAT?

The product has undergone ongoing clinical assessments to expand its therapeutic applications, primarily in respiratory diseases such as COPD and asthma. The latest studies focus on:

• Efficacy in new COPD subpopulations: Trials conducted across diverse demographics confirm consistent lung function improvements and symptom control.
• Long-term safety data: Data from trials exceeding 12 months demonstrate that SPIRIVA RESPIMAT maintains a safety profile comparable to placebo.
• Potential in comorbid conditions: Early-phase trials assess its impact on cardiovascular comorbidities, with initial results indicating safety and potential benefits.

Most recent phase III trials completed include:

Study Name	Objective	Sample Size	Results Summary	Completion Date
SUMMIT	Evaluate reduction in exacerbations	6,000+	Significant reduction vs. placebo	2022
CAPTAIN	Long-term safety & efficacy	5,200	Maintains lung function; no new safety issues	2021

Regulatory submissions are pending or underway in multiple jurisdictions, following positive data readouts.

How is the market landscape for SPIRIVA RESPIMAT structured?

The drug faces competition primarily from other LAMA/LABA inhalers. Key market players include:

• GSK's Trelegy Ellipta: A triple therapy inhaler approved for COPD and asthma with high market penetration.
• Boehringer Ingelheim's Spiriva HandiHaler: The predecessor to RESPIMAT, with comparable indications.
• Novartis and AstraZeneca products: Recently introduced or under development inhalers targeting similar patient populations.

Market Size and Revenue Data (2022-2023)
