Summary

This trial will evaluate the efficacy and safety of benralizumab in patients with moderate to very severe COPD with a history of frequent COPD exacerbations and elevated peripheral blood eosinophils.

Who is the study for?
Adults aged 40-85 with moderate to very severe COPD, a history of frequent exacerbations despite ongoing triple therapy, and elevated blood eosinophils can join. They must have smoked at least 10 pack-years. Excluded are those with unstable disorders, other significant lung diseases like asthma, oxygen needs over 4 L/min, certain liver diseases or infections, recent use of certain drugs or biologics.
What is being tested?
The trial is testing the effectiveness and safety of Benralizumab compared to a placebo in patients with COPD who frequently experience flare-ups. Participants will receive treatment for at least 56 weeks to see if it reduces these exacerbations.
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects include common cold symptoms, headache, sore throat and reactions at the injection site such as pain or swelling. There may also be risks related to allergic reactions including anaphylaxis.
