About this trial

This Phase IIb dose-ranging study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of 2 different doses of AZD6793 compared with placebo tablets in participants with moderate to very severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Participant must be ≥40 years of age at the time of signing the informed consent.

Documented primary diagnosis of COPD for at least 12 months prior to enrolment.

Pre-BD FEV1/FVC < 0.7 at Visit 1 and pre- and post-BD FEV1/FVC < 0.7, and post-BD FEV1 ≥ 25% to < 80% of predicted normal at Visit 2.

Documented history of ≥ 2 moderate or ≥ 1 severe COPD exacerbations in the 12 months prior to screening.

Disqualifiers

Clinically important pulmonary disease other than COPD (eg, asthma [current diagnosis per GINA or other accepted guidelines], active pulmonary infection, clinically significant bronchiectasis when bronchiectasis is the predominant diagnosis, pulmonary fibrosis, cystic fibrosis, hypoventilation syndrome associated with obesity, lung cancer, alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency or primary ciliary dyskinesia).

Radiological findings suggestive of a respiratory disease other than COPD that is significantly contributing to the participant's respiratory symptoms.

Any unstable disorder, including, but not limited to, CV, gastrointestinal, hepatic, renal, neurological, musculoskeletal, infectious, endocrine, metabolic, haematological, psychiatric disorder, major physical and/or cognitive impairment.

Significant left heart failure.
