KALOS – A variable length efficacy & safety study to assess an inhaled, fixed-dose, triple-combination of Budesonide/ Glycopyrronium/ Formoterol Fumarate in adults with poorly controlled asthma

This study is designed to check the safety and effectiveness of a 3 drug inhaler for people who do not have good asthma control. The study will compare two different doses of the 3 drug inhaler against a similar 3 drug combination. The study participants will be involved for up to 64 weeks.
