About this study
In plain language
This study tests how well depemokimab works and how safe it is when added to usual COPD medicines. It is for adults with uncontrolled moderate to severe COPD, a long-term lung disease, and type 2 inflammation, a kind of immune system response.
Depemokimab is being developed as a treatment for individuals with moderate to severe COPD. The aim of this study is to assess the efficacy and safety of depemokimab as an add-on medicine in participants with uncontrolled moderate to severe COPD with type 2 inflammation.
Compensation is read from the study's own description and may be missing — always confirm with the study team.
Eligibility
Who can join
- Be 40 to 80 years old when signing the consent form.
- Have a high blood level of eosinophils, a type of white blood cell.
- Have had COPD for at least 1 year. After medicine to open the airways, breathing tests must show an FEV1/FVC ratio below 0.70 and FEV1 above 30% but no more than 80% of normal. These tests measure how much air you can blow out.
- Have had at least 2 moderate COPD flare-ups or 1 severe flare-up in the past 12 months.
- Score at least 10 on the COPD Assessment Test, a survey about COPD symptoms, at the first visit.
- Currently smoke or used to smoke cigarettes, with at least 10 pack-years of smoking, such as 1 pack a day for 10 years.
- Have used all 3 required types of inhaled medicine for at least 6 months: a steroid and two long-acting medicines that open the airways (LAMA and LABA). These may be in one inhaler or several.
- Have a body mass index (BMI), a measure based on height and weight, of at least 16. Men and women who meet the study's requirements may join.
Who can't join
- Have ever been diagnosed with asthma, or have another major lung disease. The study doctor must decide that COPD is the main cause of your lung symptoms.
- Had pneumonia, a COPD flare-up, or a lower lung infection within 4 weeks before the first screening visit.
- Have had or plan to have surgery to reduce lung size or a procedure to place valves in the airways.
- Were in the early, intensive phase of a lung rehabilitation program within 4 weeks before the first screening visit.
- Need oxygen for more than 16 hours a day to keep your blood oxygen level above 88% while resting.
- Have right-sided heart failure caused by lung disease, severely high blood pressure in the lungs, unstable heart disease, or an irregular heartbeat.
- Have long-term high carbon dioxide levels that require a breathing machine using a mask, such as BiPAP or CPAP.
- Had a known infection caused by parasites within 6 months before the first screening visit.
Simplified for readability. The official criteria below are what the study team uses.
