About this trial
The goal of this study is to determine the safety and tolerability of orally taken probiotic (R-3750) in patients with mild to moderate chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)
Eligibility criteria
This trial does not accept healthy volunteersQualifiers
Subjects with a clinically documented history of COPD for at least 1 year in accordance with the definition by the American Thoracic Society/European Respiratory Society.
Subjects must present with the following: a measured pre and post-salbutamol Forced expiratory volume in one second/ Forced vital capacity (FEV1/FVC) ratio of <0.70 to confirm the diagnosis of COPD; a measured post-salbutamol FEV1>20% and ≤80% of predicted normal values
Baseline mMRC dyspnea score 1 to 3
Post-bronchodilator FEV1 > 50% predicted (GOLD COPD grade 1-2)
Disqualifiers
Patients whose treatment is considered palliative (life expectancy <12 months) Comorbid severe lung disease, such as bronchiectasis, pulmonary fibrosis
Current smoker or cessation within 3 months of screening, or current use of vaping device
Patients with pneumonia or COPD exacerbation or lower respiratory infections within the 4 weeks prior to study Day 1
Uncontrolled co-morbid conditions, such as diabetes mellitus, hypertension and heart failure [e.g. New York Heart Association (NYHA) class III (e.g. less than ordinary activity causes fatigue, palpitation, or dyspnea), and class IV (e.g. Symptoms of heart failure at rest)] that will affect the study.

Treatment groups
Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
To assess the treatment-related adverse events of R-3750
To assess the number of participants with treatment-related adverse events after taking R-3750 (probiotics)
Secondary outcomes
Clinical Response based on St. George's Respiratory Questionnaire (SGRQ)
To assess the number of participants that show improvements in the chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) severity by collecting the St. George's Respiratory Questionnaire (SGRQ). The scores are based on a numbering system ranging from 0-100 where the higher number indicates a worse condition. The scores will be compared from the beginning of the trial and again at different times to the end to see if there are any changes in symptoms before and after taking R-3750 (probiotic).
