COPD (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease) Study

ClinicalTrials.gov identifier NCT05037929

Brief Summary:

This study will test an investigational drug in addition to standard of care chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) maintenance therapy in patients with COPD who are former or current smokers and have a history of frequent exacerbations.

The Respiratory Research Center is looking for volunteers to participate in a clinical trial exploring an investigational add-on treatment that is given by injection. The safety and effectiveness of this potential new therapy are being examined.

Are you eligible?

  • Are 40 -90 years old
  • Are a current or former smoker living with COPD
  • Have been prescribed a combination of inhalers to use every day
  • Have had two or more ‘flare-ups’ of your COPD symptoms in the last 2 years that required treatment.

Participants will:

  • Receive the investigational drug or placebo, during the 52-week treatment period (as an ‘add on’ to your regular medication). Treatment for some participants may continue beyond the 52-week study treatment period.
  • Attend regular appointments to see our study team
  • You will be paid $50.00 for each visit that you complete, including screening, mobile nurse, and phone call visits. You will be paid following each visit. Please speak to your study coordinator about any needed transportation accommodations.
