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 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 astegolimab compared to a placebo in adults aged 40 to 80 years who have chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The study focuses on participants who are former or current smokers with a history of frequent COPD flare-ups. This phase III trial aims to determine how well astegolimab reduces moderate and severe COPD exacerbations over one year. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either subcutaneous astegolimab every two or four weeks or a placebo every two weeks. All participants will continue their optimized COPD maintenance treatments, which may include combinations of inhaled corticosteroids, long-acting beta-agonists, and long-acting muscarinic antagonists. Study treatments will be administered over a 52-week period. Throughout the study, researchers will monitor the annual rate of moderate and severe COPD exacerbations. Participants will undergo lung function tests, chest imaging, and assessments of breathlessness and lung health. The study will also carefully track the safety of the treatments, including any infections or heart-related problems. The total participation time is 52 weeks, during which the effectiveness and safety of astegolimab will be evaluated.

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 effectiveness and safety of a fixed-dose combination of fluticasone propionate (Fp) and albuterol sulfate (ABS) delivered via an integrated electronic module multidose dry powder inhaler (eMDPI) compared to ABS alone in reducing severe clinical asthma exacerbations in patients with asthma. The study also assesses the efficacy of a low dose of Fp/ABS versus ABS and examines the impact on systemic corticosteroid exposure. This is a phase 3 randomized, double-blind, active-controlled trial involving patients diagnosed with asthma for at least one year. Participants will receive either a high dose or low dose of Fp/ABS or ABS alone through oral inhalation powder during a double-blind treatment period lasting a minimum of 24 weeks. The study includes a 2-week screening phase, a 2 to 4-week run-in period, and the treatment phase. Because this is an event-driven study, the total duration for individual participants may extend up to approximately 42 months depending on enrollment timing and study completion. During the study, participants will be closely monitored for time to first severe clinical asthma exacerbation while using the inhaler device. Safety and tolerability will be evaluated throughout the study. Researchers will also track systemic corticosteroid use and overall asthma control. The minimum participation time is 28 weeks, including screening and run-in, with extended monitoring possible based on study events and criteria.

Researchers are evaluating depemokimab as a potential add-on treatment for adults aged 40 to 80 years with moderate to severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) who also have type 2 inflammation and frequent exacerbations. This Phase 3 study aims to assess the safety and effectiveness of depemokimab in improving health outcomes for people whose COPD is not well controlled despite standard inhaler therapy. Participants must have a history of elevated blood eosinophil levels and confirmed lung function measurements consistent with COPD. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either depemokimab, given as a sterile liquid, or a placebo solution containing sodium chloride. Both treatments will be administered as part of a double-blind, placebo-controlled trial across multiple centers. The study includes patients who have been on optimized inhaler treatments including inhaled corticosteroids combined with long-acting bronchodilators for at least six months before the study begins. During the study, participants will be monitored over a period extending up to 104 weeks to measure the annualized rate of moderate to severe COPD exacerbations. Researchers will conduct regular assessments including lung function tests, symptom questionnaires, and safety evaluations. The study will also track participants' adherence to treatment and record any side effects or health changes to better understand the long-term impact of depemokimab.

Researchers are evaluating the effectiveness, safety, and tolerability of subcutaneous lunsekimig compared to a placebo in adults aged 40 to 80 years with inadequately controlled chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) characterized by an eosinophilic phenotype. This Phase 2b/Phase 3, parallel, 3-arm study focuses on participants who have a history of COPD with an eosinophilic profile and have not achieved control with current treatments. Eligible participants will receive either lunsekimig or a matching placebo through subcutaneous injections over a randomized treatment period of approximately 48 weeks. The study involves three periods: an initial screening period lasting up to 4 weeks, followed by the 48-week treatment period, and finally an 8-week follow-up period. The total study duration may last up to 60 weeks. During the study, participants will be regularly assessed for the annualized rate of moderate-to-severe COPD exacerbations from baseline up to 48 weeks. Researchers will monitor safety, tolerability, and treatment effects through various evaluations throughout the treatment and follow-up periods. Participant involvement includes completing assessments and receiving scheduled injections as part of the study protocol.

Researchers are evaluating the effects of two inhalers, budesonide/albuterol metered-dose inhaler (BDA MDI) and albuterol sulfate metered-dose inhaler (AS MDI), both taken as needed, on reducing severe asthma attacks in adolescents aged 12 to under 18 years who have a clinical diagnosis of asthma and have experienced at least one severe asthma exacerbation in the past year. This is a Phase IIIb randomized, double-blind, multicenter study lasting 52 weeks with a safety follow-up period after treatment. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either BDA MDI 160/180 micrograms (two puffs of 80/90 micrograms) or AS MDI 180 micrograms (two puffs of 90 micrograms) as needed, alongside their usual asthma maintenance therapy, for 52 weeks. The study includes a 7 to 28-day screening period before treatment and a safety follow-up visit 7 to 14 days after the end of treatment. Additionally, a pharmacokinetic sub-study involves a single dose of open-label BDA MDI administered after the safety follow-up. During the study, participants will be monitored for the annual rate of severe asthma exacerbations from randomization to week 52. Assessments include evaluating inhaler technique, peak expiratory flow measurements, and adherence to contraception methods for participants of childbearing potential. Safety will be monitored throughout the treatment and follow-up periods. The total study duration includes screening, 52 weeks of treatment, and safety follow-up.
