Description
Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease is a chronic lung condition that gradually narrows the airways and makes breathing more difficult. Over time, the lungs become less able to move air in and out, which can make even simple activities, like walking up a hill, doing household tasks, or keeping up with family life, feel much harder than they used to.
Common symptoms include shortness of breath, coughing, wheezing and fatigue. COPD affects over 300 million people globally and can significantly limit daily activities, social interactions, and overall quality of life. Though it develops gradually, its impact can be life changing.
Current COPD treatment aims to relieve symptoms, improve breathing, and prevent flare ups. These include inhalers, medications, pulmonary rehabilitation and in some cases, oxygen therapy.
This study is evaluating an investigational treatment designed to target specific immune pathways involved in airway inflammation. By reducing this inflammation, the treatment may help:
- Improve breathing and lung function
- Reduce flare-ups
- Ease daily symptoms
- Improve overall comfort and activity levels
What to expect
Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either the study medication or a placebo (inactive substance) given as an intravenous (IV) infusion twice, 28 days apart.
You will not know if you are receiving the study medication or placebo. You will have a 2 in 1 chance of receiving the study medication versus placebo.
You will visit the clinic regularly for health assessments, including lung function tests, symptoms check-ins, and general health monitoring. Throughout the study, our professional clinic team will closely monitor your well-being and provide support at every step.
