BBT002 in healthy adults and adults with COPD
Official title: A Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-controlled, Single- and Multiple-ascending Dose Study to Evaluate the Safety, Tolerability, Pharmacokinetics, Immunogenicity, Pharmacodynamics and Clinical Activity of BBT002 in Healthy Volunteers and Participants With Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)
Run by Bambusa Therapeutics · NCT07288554 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This tests BBT002 versus placebo in healthy adults and people with COPD to see if it is safe and how the body responds to it.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates are adults 35–75 years with documented COPD (post-bronchodilator FEV1/FVC < 0.70) and FEV1 ≥ 50% and < 80% predicted, with BMI 18–32 kg/m² and who meet other screening safety requirements.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with more severe COPD (FEV1 < 50%), active infections, immunodeficiency, positive HIV/HBV/HCV serology, recent cancer, or other major uncontrolled comorbidities are unlikely to benefit or be eligible.

What this trial studies
This is a Phase 1, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, single- and multiple-ascending dose program. Part A enrolls healthy volunteers in sequential single-ascending dose cohorts, and Part B gives two repeated doses to participants with COPD in a multiple-ascending dose format. The trial measures safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, immunogenicity, pharmacodynamics, and early signs of clinical activity. Results will guide dose selection and safety profiling for future studies.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If BBT002 is safe and shows favorable pharmacology, it could lead to a new treatment option that may improve symptoms or lung function for people with moderate COPD.
How similar studies have gone: As a first-in-human Phase 1 dose-escalation program, BBT002's approach is early-stage and similar investigational COPD agents have shown mixed early results, so clinical benefit remains unproven.
