Researchers are evaluating the safety and effectiveness of fixed dose combinations of ensifentrine with two different doses of glycopyrrolate compared to placebo and each drug alone in adults with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). This phase IIb study focuses on measuring lung function improvements using bronchodilator effects in people with COPD. Participants have a history of smoking and meet specific lung function criteria to be included. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of six groups: two combination treatments of ensifentrine (3 mg) with glycopyrrolate at either 21.25 or 42.5 mcg, each drug alone as monotherapy, or placebo. All treatments are given twice daily for 28 days using a standard jet nebulizer. The study includes 1 to 2 weeks of screening, 4 weeks of treatment, followed by 1 week of follow-up. During the study, participants will undergo lung function testing at baseline and on days 1, 14, 28, and 29 to measure changes in forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1). They will also have chest X-rays or CT scans reviewed, complete questionnaires on breathlessness, and have regular assessments to monitor safety and treatment effects. Participants must be able to use the nebulizer properly and attend all study visits over approximately 7 weeks.

Researchers are evaluating the effect of a triple therapy inhaler called BGF MDI containing budesonide, glycopyrronium, and formoterol fumarate compared with a dual therapy inhaler called GFF MDI containing glycopyrronium and formoterol fumarate in people with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) who have a higher risk of heart and lung problems. This Phase III randomized, double-blind, parallel group study takes place at multiple centers and focuses on cardiopulmonary outcomes in these patients. Participants receive either the BGF MDI 320/14.4/9.6 micrograms twice daily or the GFF MDI 14.4/9.6 micrograms twice daily. The treatments are inhaled using metered dose inhalers. The study compares these two therapies over time to see how they affect the time until the first severe heart or lung event occurs. The study design ensures that neither participants nor researchers know which treatment is given to reduce bias. During the study, participants will have regular visits to the study site or virtual visits to complete assessments. Researchers will monitor lung function, symptoms, and blood tests, including blood eosinophil counts and COPD assessment test scores. The main outcome measured is the time to the first severe cardiac or COPD event, with follow-up lasting up to three years. Safety and adherence to treatment will also be closely observed throughout the study period.

Researchers are evaluating the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, immunogenicity, and pharmacodynamics of two different dose levels of solrikitug compared to placebo in people with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). This Phase 2 study includes participants who have had COPD for at least 12 months and have elevated blood eosinophil levels. The trial aims to understand how solrikitug affects blood eosinophil counts and other health measures related to COPD. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either low-dose solrikitug, high-dose solrikitug, or a placebo. These treatments are given by subcutaneous injection at the study site over a 12-week period. After treatment, there is a 16-week follow-up period to monitor participants for any lasting effects or safety concerns. During the study, participants will have regular assessments including lung function tests, blood tests to measure eosinophil counts, and evaluations of COPD symptoms. Researchers will monitor safety and tolerability closely throughout the treatment and follow-up periods. The total time commitment for participants covers the 12 weeks of treatment plus the 16 weeks of follow-up, totaling 28 weeks.

Researchers are studying AZD0292, a bispecific antibody, to see if it can prevent flare-ups in people aged 12 and older who have bronchiectasis with chronic colonization by Pseudomonas aeruginosa (PsA). This Phase IIb trial compares two different doses of AZD0292 given through intravenous infusion against a placebo. The study mainly focuses on non-cystic fibrosis bronchiectasis patients with frequent PsA-related lung exacerbations, which can worsen lung function, quality of life, and survival. Cystic fibrosis bronchiectasis patients colonized with PsA are also included as an exploratory group. Participants will receive either a high or low dose of AZD0292 or a placebo starting on Day 1 by IV infusion, with additional doses given according to the study schedule. The trial is randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, and parallel in design. Treatment effects, safety, and how the body processes the drug will be studied over the course of dosing. During the study, participants will be monitored for lung exacerbations over a follow-up period ranging from 28 to 52 weeks. Researchers will assess lung function, collect airway samples to confirm PsA colonization, and track any side effects or adverse events. The main measure of success is the annualized rate of exacerbations. Participants must adhere to study visits and assessments throughout the trial to help determine the drug’s effectiveness and safety.

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.

This research aims to evaluate the impact of dupilumab compared to placebo on airway inflammation, airway resistance, and airway remodeling in people aged 40 to 85 years with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The study focuses particularly on mucus plugging and how it relates to lung function, exacerbations, and quality of life improvements. This is a multinational, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled Phase 4 study with two treatment groups. Participants will receive either dupilumab or a placebo, both given as subcutaneous injections. The treatment period lasts up to 24 weeks, within a total study duration of up to 40 weeks. The study includes 9 visits throughout this time to monitor progress and safety. During participation, researchers will assess lung mucus using imaging scores from baseline through Week 24 to measure changes. Other evaluations include lung function tests, monitoring exacerbations, and quality of life measures. Safety and effectiveness will be carefully tracked through these visits, with ongoing assessments to understand the treatment impact over the study 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 the effects and safety of the study medicine PF-07275315 for treating moderate to severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), a condition that makes breathing difficult and lowers quality of life. This clinical trial includes adults aged 35 to 80 years who have had COPD for at least 12 months and a history of at least two moderate or severe COPD flare-ups in the past year. The study has two phases: Phase 2 and Phase 3, each designed to assess different outcomes related to lung function and lung flare-ups over time. Participants will receive either PF-07275315 or a placebo through multiple subcutaneous injections (shots under the skin) at the clinic. The Phase 2 part lasts 24 weeks with 11 clinic visits and focuses on the change in lung function measured by forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1). The Phase 3 part lasts 52 weeks with 18 clinic visits and evaluates the annual rate of moderate or severe COPD flare-ups. Both study phases compare the effects of PF-07275315 to the placebo to assess safety and effectiveness. During the study, participants will visit the clinic regularly for assessments including lung function tests and health evaluations. They will continue their usual COPD maintenance treatments throughout the trial. Researchers will monitor lung function changes and the frequency of COPD exacerbations as primary outcome measures. Participants remain in the study for about 40 weeks in Phase 2 or about 68 weeks in Phase 3, including follow-up visits to ensure safety and collect health information.

Researchers are evaluating the safety and effects of a study medicine called PF-07275315 for treating adults with moderate-to-severe asthma that is not well controlled. This condition makes breathing difficult and affects quality of life. The study is a Phase 2, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial aiming to determine if PF-07275315 is safe and effective for this group. Participants will receive either PF-07275315 or a placebo through multiple subcutaneous injections administered in the clinic over 12 weeks. The study compares these two groups to assess treatment responses. The trial includes a total of 9 clinic visits and lasts about 7.5 months for each participant. During the study, participants will undergo various assessments including lung function tests to measure forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1), safety monitoring through adverse event tracking, laboratory tests, vital sign checks, and electrocardiograms. These evaluations occur from baseline through 24 weeks to observe changes and treatment tolerability.
