Clinical trial Recruiting at 8 sites Phase 3 Interventional Ages 40 to 80

GSK5784283 added to standard COPD care versus placebo in adults with moderate to very severe COPD

Official title: A Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled, Parallel-group, Multicenter Study of the Efficacy and Safety of GSK5784283 (Felcorekibart) in Participants 40 to 80 Years of Age With Moderate to Very Severe COPD (PERSIST COPD-2)

Run by GlaxoSmithKline · NCT07780656 · Data updated 2026-11-12

This study tests whether adding GSK5784283 to a patient’s current COPD treatment helps reduce COPD flare-ups compared with a placebo in adults with eosinophilic COPD and a history of frequent exacerbations.

Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Adults aged 40–80 with moderate to very severe COPD, eosinophilic phenotype, frequent exacerbations, elevated CAT score, and on triple or dual inhaled therapy where ICS is appropriate.

Probably not a fit

Patients without the eosinophilic phenotype or those with recent pneumonia or other exclusion criteria may not benefit.

What this trial studies

This Phase 3 trial compares the monoclonal antibody GSK5784283 (Felcorekibart) plus standard COPD care to placebo plus standard care in adults with moderate to very severe COPD who have an eosinophilic phenotype and frequent exacerbations. Participants continue their existing inhaled therapies (ICS/LAMA/LABA or dual therapy) as appropriate. The primary goal is to see if the add-on therapy lowers the annual rate of moderate to severe COPD exacerbations. Safety and tolerability are also assessed over the study period. The study is conducted at GSK investigational sites in Florida, enrolling adults aged 40 to 80.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, participants may experience fewer COPD flare-ups and better disease control when GSK5784283 is added to their current treatment.

How similar studies have gone: Earlier studies with similar targeted therapies in eosinophilic COPD have shown potential reductions in exacerbations, supporting further investigation.
