Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates are adults with moderate-to-severe COPD, a smoking history of at least 10 pack-years, recent COPD exacerbations, and stable background therapy.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with other significant lung diseases or unstable COPD or those not meeting the dosing/exclusion criteria may not benefit.
A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.
What this trial studies
In this Phase 2 study, adults with moderate-to-severe COPD will receive Brenipatide at varying dose levels or placebo for about one year to evaluate safety and how well the drug works in improving COPD symptoms and lung function. Participants will continue their standard COPD therapies as background treatment. The trial uses a randomized, controlled design with placebo as a comparison and will monitor adverse events, lung function, and symptom changes. Locations include sites in Alabama, California, and beyond, enrolling patients with a history of smoking and recent COPD exacerbations.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, Brenipatide could offer a new treatment option that improves breathing and reduces COPD symptoms.
How similar studies have gone: Previous similar approaches in COPD have shown signal in certain subgroups, but this exact Brenipatide approach is under investigation.
