Summary

"This trial will test how a new medication called ensifentrine, taken through a nebulizer twice a day, affects the symptoms of COPD in patients over a 12-week period. Patients

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with moderate to severe COPD who are current or former smokers with a significant smoking history. They must have specific lung function scores, experience breathlessness, and be on stable COPD medication. Participants need to be able to use a nebulizer and perform breathing tests.
What is being tested?
The study is testing the effects of Ensifentrine 3mg when inhaled twice daily over 12 weeks on COPD symptoms. It's an open-label trial where everyone knows they're getting Ensifentrine while continuing their usual COPD treatments.
What are the potential side effects?
While not explicitly listed here, common side effects of similar respiratory treatments may include coughing, dry mouth, headache, throat irritation, and potentially worsening breathing problems.
