Researchers are studying the effectiveness and safety of a combination inhaler containing fluticasone propionate and albuterol sulfate delivered through a multidose dry powder inhaler with an electronic module (Fp/ABS eMDPI). This Phase 3 trial focuses on people aged 12 years and older who have asthma. The study also looks at the safety and tolerability of this inhaler when used four times daily over four weeks, as well as the pharmacokinetics of the combination and its individual components after a single dose. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either the Fp/ABS combination inhaler, fluticasone propionate alone, albuterol sulfate alone, or a placebo inhaler. All treatments are given as inhalation powders. The main treatment period lasts four weeks, during which the inhalers are taken four times a day. The total study duration for each participant is about 10 weeks, not counting an optional prescreening visit. Throughout the study, researchers will measure lung function changes, specifically forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1), from baseline to week 4. Participants will undergo assessments including lung function tests and safety evaluations. The study monitors how the inhaler affects breathing over time and checks for any side effects or tolerability issues during the treatment period.

Researchers are evaluating the safety and effectiveness of brenipatide at different doses compared with a placebo in adults with uncontrolled moderate to severe asthma. This Phase 2 study focuses on participants who have a history of asthma requiring controller medication and recent severe asthma exacerbations. The goal is to better understand how brenipatide impacts asthma control over an extended period. Participants will receive either brenipatide or a placebo, both administered by subcutaneous injection. The study includes a 52-week treatment period during which the effects of the drug on asthma exacerbations and symptoms will be monitored. This randomized, double-blind approach helps compare the responses between the treatment and placebo groups. Study involvement lasts about 65 weeks, covering screening, treatment, and follow-up phases. During the study, researchers will assess participants' asthma control using questionnaires and track the annual rate of asthma exacerbations. Safety and treatment responses will be closely monitored throughout the trial to evaluate the drug's impact and participant well-being.

Researchers are evaluating the effects of three different dosing schedules of povorcitinib on lung function in adults with moderately to severely uncontrolled asthma. This Phase 2, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study aims to assess both the safety and efficacy of povorcitinib in improving respiratory outcomes for this patient group. Participants have a history of asthma treatment with medium- to high-dose ICS-LABA therapy and meet specific lung function criteria before enrollment. Participants will receive one of three povorcitinib dosing regimens or a placebo while continuing their background ICS-LABA therapy. The study includes multiple treatment arms to compare the effects of different doses. The intervention period lasts 24 weeks, during which pulmonary function and other health measures will be monitored. During the study, participants will undergo regular assessments, including lung function tests measuring pre-bronchodilator forced expiratory volume in 1 second (pre-BD FEV1) at baseline and week 24. Researchers will also monitor safety and collect data on asthma exacerbations and symptom control. The total participation time covers the treatment duration and follow-up evaluations to assess changes in pulmonary function and overall health status.

This research aims to evaluate the long-term safety and explore the effectiveness of astegolimab in people with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) who have already completed a 52-week treatment in previous studies GB43311 or GB44332. The study focuses on participants aged 40 to 90 years and is a Phase III open-label extension trial designed to continue monitoring patients after their initial treatment period. Participants will receive astegolimab as a subcutaneous injection every two weeks during this extension study. This treatment continues from the prior placebo-controlled phase, allowing researchers to observe any ongoing effects and safety concerns over a longer period. The study does not include a placebo group during this extension phase, and all participants receive the active treatment. Throughout the study, researchers will closely monitor participants for any adverse events up to 12 weeks after the last dose of astegolimab. Participants will be assessed regularly to ensure their safety and to gather data on the treatment's long-term impact. The total duration of participant involvement depends on when they completed the parent studies but involves continued monitoring during and after the treatment period.

Researchers are evaluating the effects and safety of AZD6793 tablets in adults aged 40 years and older who have moderate to very severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). This is a Phase IIb, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study involving approximately 1160 participants at around 400 sites worldwide. The study aims to compare three different doses of AZD6793 against placebo tablets over 24 weeks to assess how well the treatment works and its safety profile in this population. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of four groups receiving either one of three doses of AZD6793 or a placebo in equal proportions. The treatment involves oral administration of AZD6793 tablets or placebo tablets daily for 24 weeks. The study is designed with parallel groups and includes careful dose-ranging to evaluate different levels of the investigational drug. During the study, participants will be monitored for the annualized rate of moderate or severe COPD exacerbations from baseline up to 24 weeks. Assessments include lung function tests such as pre- and post-bronchodilator FEV1/FVC ratios, symptom questionnaires like the COPD Assessment Test (CAT), and documentation of COPD exacerbation history. Safety will be continually evaluated through clinical assessments and laboratory tests throughout the treatment period.

Researchers are evaluating the safety and effectiveness of tezepelumab in adults aged 40 to 80 years with moderate to very severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). These participants must have a history of COPD for at least one year and have experienced multiple COPD exacerbations despite using inhaled maintenance therapy. This Phase 3, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study focuses on those who have had at least two moderate or one severe exacerbation in the prior year while on inhaled triple or dual therapy. Participants will receive monthly subcutaneous injections of either one of two doses of tezepelumab or a placebo. Treatment will last for a minimum of 52 weeks and up to 76 weeks. After the treatment period, there will be a 12-week off-treatment safety follow-up to monitor any lasting effects or safety concerns. During the study, researchers will assess the participants' lung function and monitor the annual rate of moderate or severe COPD exacerbations. Participants will undergo screening to confirm eligibility based on lung function tests, eosinophil counts, and symptom scores. Safety will be closely monitored throughout the treatment and follow-up periods to evaluate adverse effects and overall participant health.

Researchers are evaluating depemokimab as a treatment for adults aged 40 to 80 years with moderate to severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) who have type 2 inflammation and frequent exacerbations. This Phase 3 study aims to assess the safety and effectiveness of depemokimab when added to optimized inhaler therapy compared to placebo in participants whose COPD is uncontrolled despite current treatment. Participants must have an elevated blood eosinophil count and a history of COPD symptoms and exacerbations. Participants will receive depemokimab, a sterile liquid drug, or a placebo consisting of a sterile 0.9% sodium chloride solution. The treatments are administered as an add-on to their usual inhaler therapies, which include inhaled corticosteroids, long-acting muscarinic antagonists, and long-acting beta2-adrenergic agonists. The study is randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, and takes place across multiple centers. Treatment duration and detailed dosing schedules are not specified but participants are monitored up to 104 weeks. Throughout the study, participants will be monitored for the annual rate of moderate to severe COPD exacerbations. Researchers will also assess safety and other clinical outcomes related to lung function and COPD symptoms. Participants will have regular visits for evaluation of their disease status, treatment adherence, and any side effects. The total duration of participation includes baseline screening and follow-up visits over the study period to ensure comprehensive data collection for efficacy and safety analysis.

Researchers are evaluating the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of adding subcutaneous lunsekimig compared with placebo as treatment for adults aged 18 to 80 with high-risk asthma who currently do not qualify for biologic therapies. This Phase 2, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study focuses on participants with mild-to-moderate asthma diagnosed for over a year, who have had at least one asthma exacerbation in the previous year. The goal is to better understand lunsekimig's effects in this specific asthma population. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either subcutaneous injections of lunsekimig or placebo over approximately 52 weeks. Alongside this, they may continue using other asthma medications such as various inhaled treatments including fluticasone/salmeterol, budesonide/formoterol, budesonide/albuterol, or short-acting beta agonists. The study includes up to 18 visits throughout the treatment period, with some participants possibly continuing into a long-term safety (LTS) study lasting up to 60 weeks total. During the study, participants will undergo regular assessments to monitor asthma control, lung function, and the rate of asthma exacerbations. The primary measurement is the annualized rate of asthma exacerbation events from baseline up to 52 weeks. Safety and tolerability will also be closely observed. The total study duration for most participants will be around 64 weeks if they do not enter the LTS study. Researchers will gather data through clinical visits, lung function tests, and ongoing safety monitoring to evaluate the treatment's impact and participant health throughout the trial.
