Researchers are evaluating the effectiveness and safety of a new drug called GSK3862995B in adults with bronchiectasis, a chronic lung disease. This Phase 2 study also examines how the body processes the drug and checks for any immune reactions. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive one of two doses of GSK3862995B or a placebo to compare their effects on bronchiectasis. Participants will receive either Dose Level 1 or Dose Level 2 of GSK3862995B, or a matching placebo. The study uses a double-blind, randomized design, meaning neither participants nor researchers know who gets which treatment. The treatment period lasts up to 48 weeks, during which participants receive repeated doses. The study also includes assessments up to 72 weeks to monitor safety and immune responses. During the trial, participants will undergo evaluations including lung function tests, quality-of-life questionnaires, and monitoring of respiratory symptoms. Researchers will track the number of lung exacerbations, serious adverse events, laboratory tests, vital signs, and electrocardiograms to assess safety and effectiveness. Participants will be involved in regular visits and assessments throughout the treatment and follow-up periods, lasting up to about 72 weeks in total.

This research aims to evaluate the long-term safety and explore the efficacy of astegolimab in adults aged 40 to 90 years with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease COPD. It focuses on participants who have completed a 52-week placebo-controlled treatment period in previous studies GB43311 or GB44332. The study is a phase 3, open-label extension to gather extended safety information on this drug in COPD patients. Participants from the parent studies who qualify will receive subcutaneous injections of astegolimab every two weeks throughout the study until it ends. This open-label extension allows all participants to receive the active drug without placebo comparison. The study continues treatment beyond the initial 52-week period to monitor long-term effects. During the study, participants will be monitored for adverse events up to 12 weeks after their last dose of astegolimab. Researchers will collect safety data to understand the incidence of any side effects. The study involves regular assessments and follow-ups to ensure participant well-being, with the total duration lasting until July 2034.

Researchers are evaluating the effect of AZD6793, an oral medication, in adults with moderate to very severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease COPD. This Phase IIb, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study involves approximately 970 participants across about 350 global sites. The trial aims to compare the efficacy and safety of two different doses of AZD6793 against placebo over a 24-week period. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of three groups receiving either dose 1 of AZD6793, dose 2 of AZD6793, or a matching placebo tablet. The study medication is taken orally and the trial lasts for 24 weeks. The study is designed as a parallel-group format with a 111 allocation ratio among the three arms. During the study, participants will be monitored through various assessments including lung function tests measuring forced expiratory volume FEV1, questionnaires evaluating breathlessness, cough, sputum, and quality of life, and tracking of COPD exacerbation events. Blood samples will be collected to measure plasma concentrations of AZD6793. Safety and efficacy outcomes will be evaluated up to 24 weeks, with the main outcome being the rate of moderate or severe COPD exacerbations.
