Evaluating Tezepelumab for Adults with Moderate to Very Severe COPD

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This Phase 3 clinical trial investigates the efficacy and safety of tezepelumab in adults diagnosed with moderate to very severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Participants will receive either tezepelumab or a placebo through monthly subcutaneous injections over a treatment duration of up to 76 weeks. The study aims to enroll individuals who have experienced multiple COPD exacerbations in the past year while on inhaled maintenance therapy. Safety follow-up will occur for 12 weeks after treatment completion.
