About this trial
A Multicenter, Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled, Parallel Group, Phase 3 Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of Tezepelumab in Adults with Moderate to Very Severe Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)
Eligibility criteria
This trial does not accept healthy volunteersQualifiers
≥40 to ≤80 years old
COPD diagnosis ≥1 year,
Post-BD FEV1 ≥ 20% and ≤ 70% PN, FEV1/FVC <0.70 at screening
Triple (ICS+LABA+LAMA) or dual inhaled COPD therapy, if triple therapy is considered not appropriate, ≥3 consecutive months prior to V1
Disqualifiers
Clin. important pulmonary disease or radiological findings suggestive of a respiratory disease other than COPD
Asthma, incl. pediatric, or ACOS
Any unstable disorder that can impact participants safety or study outcomes
Tuberculosis requiring treatment within 12 months prior V2

Treatment groups
Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Annualised rate of moderate or severe COPD exacerbations
The annualised moderate or severe COPD exacerbation rate (based on exacerbations reported by the investigator) up to 76 weeks treatment period compared to placebo.
Secondary outcomes
Change from baseline in post-BD FEV1
Change from baseline in post-BD FEV1 at Week 52 compared to placebo. FEV1 is defined as the volume of air exhaled from the lungs in the first second of a forced expiration
Change from baseline in pre-dose/pre-bronchodilator (pre-BD) forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1)
Change from baseline in pre-BD FEV1 at Week 52 compared to placebo. FEV1 is defined as the volume of air exhaled from the lungs in the first second of a forced expiration.
Change from baseline in the St. George's Respiratory Questionnaire (SGRQ) total score
Change from baseline in the SGRQ total score over 52 weeks compared to placebo. SGRQ is a disease-specific instrument designed to measure impact on overall health, daily life, and perceived well-being in patients with obstructive airways disease. Scores range from 0 to 100, with lower scores indicating better health status.
Annualised rate of moderate or severe COPD exacerbations among participants with EOS ≥ 300 cells/µL collected during screening visit.
The annualised moderate or severe COPD exacerbation rate (based on exacerbations reported by the investigator) up to 76 weeks treatment period compared to placebo among participants with EOS ≥ 300 cells/µL collected during screening visit.
