Inclution Criteria

 Inclusion criteria:
For inclusion in the study subjects should fulfil the following criteria:
1. Provision of informed consent prior to any study specific procedures.
2. Female or male subjects aged 40-85 years inclusive at the time of enrolment (Visit 1).
3. History of moderate to very severe COPD with a post-bronchodilator FEV1/FVC <0.70 and a
post-bronchodilator FEV1 >20% and ≦65% of predicted normal value at screening (central
spirometry will be used for this criteria assessment).
4. Documented history of 2 or more moderate or severe COPD exacerbation that required treatment
with systemic corticosteroids and/or antibiotics, or 1 or more severe COPD exacerbation(s) that
required hospitalization (defined as an inpatient admission ≧24 hour in the hospital, in an
observation area in the emergency department or other equivalent healthcare facility depending
on the country and healthcare system) within 2 to 52 weeks prior to enrolment. Prior use of
antibiotics alone does not qualify as a moderate exacerbation unless specifically used for the
treatment of worsening COPD symptoms.
5. mMRC score ≥1 at Visit 1
6. Subjects should have evidence of having been treated with double (ICS/LABA or
LABA/LAMA) or triple (ICS/LABA/LAMA) therapy approved for COPD in a given country in
the year prior to enrolment (Visit 1). It is acceptable for subjects to have stepped up or stepped
down during that period of time (from double to triple therapy and vice versa), but they have to
consistently treated with current medications and doses at least for 2 weeks prior to enrolment
(Visit 1) Subjects receiving background therapy that is not approved for COPD are not eligible
for the study.
7. Current smoker or ex-smoker with a tobacco history of ≥10 pack-years (1 pack year = 20
cigarettes smoked per day for 1 year).
8. Women of childbearing potential (WOCBP) must use a highly effective form of birth control
(confirmed by the Investigator). Highly effective forms of birth control includes: true sexual
abstinence, a vasectomised sexual partner, Implanon, female sterilization by tubal occlusion, any
effective IUD Intrauterine device/IUS Ievonorgestrel Intrauterine system, Depo-Provera™
injections, oral contraceptive, and Evra Patch ™ or Nuvaring™. WOCBP must agree to use
highly effective method of birth control, as defined above, from enrolment, throughout the study
duration and within 16 weeks after last dose of IP, and must have negative serum pregnancy test
result on Visit 1.
Women not of childbearing potential are defined as women who are either permanently sterilized
(hysterectomy, bilateral oophorectomy, or bilateral salpingectomy), or who are postmenopausal.
Women will be considered postemenopausal if they have been amenorrheic for 12 months prior
to the planned date of randomisation without an alternative medical cause. The following
agespecific requirements apply:
- Women <50 years old would be considered postmenopausal if they have been amenorrheic
for 12 months or more following cessation of exogenous hormonal treatment and follicle
stimulating hormone (FSH) levels in the postmenopausal range.
- Women ≥50 years old would be considered postmenopausal if they have been amenorrheic
for 12 months or more following cessation of all exogenous hormonal treatment
9. Male subjects who are sexually active must be surgically sterile at least one year prior to Visit 1
or must use an adequate method of contraception (condom with spermicide) from the first dose
of IP until 16 weeks after their last dose. Men with a partner or partners who is (are) not of
childbearing potential are exempt of these requirements.
10. Ability to read, write and use electronic devices.
Additional criteria to be checked prior to randomisation:
11. Blood eosinophils due to a subject’s stratification for blood eosinophil levels. When either
eosinophil stratum (≥300μL or <300μL) is full, subjects in the completed stratum will not be
randomised and will be withdrawn from the study.
12. Compliance with the eDiary defined as completing at least 8 EXACT-PRO/E-RS assessments in
the 14 day period prior to Visit 4 (i.e. Study days -15 to -1).
13. At least 70% compliance with the subject’s maintenance therapy (defined as taking all
maintenance medication as scheduled for the day) during the last 21 days of run-in period (from
Visit 2 to Visit 4) based on the eDiary.

Exclusion Criteria

 Exclusion criteria:
Subjects should not enter the study if any of the following exclusion criteria are fulfilled:
1. Clinically important pulmonary disease other than COPD (e.g. active lung infection, clinically
significant bronchiectasis, pulmonary fibrosis, cystic fibrosis, hypoventilation syndrome
associated with obesity, lung cancer, alpha 1 anti-trypsin deficiency, and primary ciliary
dyskinesia) or ever diagnosed pulmonary or systemic disease, other than COPD, that is
associated with elevated peripheral eosinophil counts (e.g. allergic bronchopulmonary
aspergillosis/mycosis, Churg-Strauss syndrome, hypereosinophilic syndrome) and/or radiological
findings suggestive of a respiratory disease other than COPD that is contributing to the subject’s
respiratory symptoms.
2. Any disorder, including, but not limited to, cardiovascular, gastrointestinal, hepatic, renal,
neurological, musculoskeletal, infectious, endocrine, metabolic, haematological, psychiatric, or
major physical impairment that is not stable in the opinion of the Investigator and could:
- Affect the safety of the subject throughout the study
- Influence the findings of the study or their interpretation
- Impede the subject’s ability to complete the entire duration of study
Subjects who have epilepsy must be on a stable dose of medication for 30 days prior to Visit 4.
3. Unstable ischemic heart disease, arrhythmia, cardiomyopathy, heart failure, renal failure,
uncontrolled hypertension as defined by the Investigator, or any other relevant cardiovascular
disorder as judged by the Investigator or any ECG abnormality obtained during the
screening/run-in period that in Investigator’s judgement may put the patient at risk or negatively
affect the outcome of the study.
4. Treatment with systemic corticosteroids and/or antibiotics, and/or hospitalization for a COPD
exacerbation within 2 weeks prior to enrolment (Visit 1), based on last dose of steroids or last
date of hospitalization whatever occurred later.
5. Acute upper or lower respiratory infection requiring antibiotics or antiviral medication within 2
weeks prior to enrolment (Visit 1).
6. Pneumonia within 8 weeks prior to enrolment (Visit 1), based on the last day of antibiotic
treatment or hospitalization date, whatever occurred later.

and be able to attend clinic visits.
14. Use of any non-invasive positive pressure ventilation device (NIPPV). Note: Subjects using
continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) or bilevel positive airway pressure (BiPAP) for
Sleep Apnea Syndrome are allowed in the study.
15. Any clinically significant abnormal findings in physical examination, vital signs, haematology,
clinical chemistry, or urinalysis during screening/run-in period, which in the opinion of the
Investigator, may put the subject at risk because of his/her participation in the study, or may
influence the results of the study, or the subject’s ability to complete entire duration of the study.
16. Fever >37.8°C (100°F) measured using the tympanic temperature (or equivalent
