Endpoints

The annualized rate of moderate or severe COPD exacerbations over the 108-week treatment period

Inclution Criteria

● Age ≥40 to ≤85 years at the time of signing the participant consent form.

● Physician-diagnosed COPD for >12 months.

● Current or former smokers with a smoking history of 10 pack-years or more.

● Forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1)/forced vital capacity (FVC) ratio <0.70 after bronchodilator use, and FEV1 predictive value >30% and ≤80% after bronchodilator use.

● History of ≥2 moderate exacerbations or ≥1 severe exacerbation within the previous year.

● Received background triple therapy (ICS, LABA, LAMA) for 3 months prior to randomization and a stable drug dose for 1 month or more prior to the first visit. Dual therapy with LABA and LAMA is permitted if there are contraindications to ICS.

● Adherence to background therapy ≥80% during the screening period and for at least 4 weeks.

Exclusion Criteria

● Moderate or severe COPD exacerbation (as defined by inclusion criteria) within 4 weeks prior to or during the screening period.

● Respiratory infection within 4 weeks prior to or during the screening period.

● Received oxygen therapy at a rate >4 liters/minute. Oxygen use at night for sleep apnea is permitted.

● Received systemic or biological immunosuppressant therapy for inflammatory or autoimmune diseases within 24 weeks or 5 half-lives (whichever is longer) prior to the first visit, excluding oral corticosteroids. Received cyclophosphamide and rituximab treatment within 12 months prior to the first visit.

● Currently diagnosed with asthma according to the 2023 Global Asthma Initiative guidelines or other recognized guidelines.

● History or evidence of a clinically significant lung disease other than COPD (e.g., pulmonary fibrosis, sarcoidosis, interstitial lung disease, pulmonary hypertension, bronchiectasis, Churg-Strauss syndrome) or other lung or systemic disease associated with elevated peripheral eosinophil count.

● Chronic hypercapnia requiring bilevel positive airway pressure (BiPAP). Participants who require regular BiPAP due to acute COPD exacerbations are not excluded.

● Any of the following events within the 6 months prior to the first visit: acute myocardial infarction, transient ischemic attack or stroke, hospitalization for any cardiovascular or cerebrovascular event, pulmonary embolism, deep vein thrombosis, and arrhythmia, including paroxysmal (e.g., intermittent). Participants with persistent atrial fibrillation, defined as atrial fibrillation lasting at least 6 months, and whose atrial fibrillation has been controlled for at least 6 months by rate control strategies (i.e., selective beta-blockers, calcium channel blockers, pacemaker placement, digoxin, or ablation therapy) and a stable and appropriate level of anticoagulation therapy, may be considered for inclusion.
