6 ADVERSE REACTIONS
Long-acting beta2-adrenergic agonists, such as STRIVERDI RESPIMAT, increase the risk of asthma-related death.
STRIVERDI RESPIMAT is not indicated for the treatment of asthma [see Boxed Warning and Warning and Precautions (5.1)].
6.1 Clinical Trials Experience in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease
Because clinical trials are conducted under widely varying conditions, adverse reaction rates observed in the clinical trials of a drug
cannot be directly compared with rates in the clinical trials of another drug and may not reflect the rates observed in practice.
The STRIVERDI RESPIMAT clinical development program included seven dose-ranging trials and eight confirmatory trials. Four of
the confirmatory trials were 6-week cross-over trials and four were 48-week parallel group trials. Adverse reactions observed in the
dose-ranging trials and four 6-week cross-over trials were consistent with those observed in the 48-week parallel group trials, which
formed the primary safety database.
