Efficacy, Safety, and Tolerability Study of Lunsekimig Compared With Placebo in Adult Participants With Inadequately Controlled Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) Characterized by an Eosinophilic Phenotype
Study of Investigational Medication for COPD with Eosinophilic Phenotype
Study Overview
This is a parallel, Phase 2b/Phase 3, 3-arm study to investigate the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of subcutaneous (SC) treatment with lunsekimig compared with placebo in adult participants (aged 40 to 80 years, inclusive) with inadequately controlled Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) characterized by an eosinophilic phenotype.
Participation to the study consists of 3 periods:
- Screening period of up to 4 weeks
- Randomized intervention period of approximately 48 weeks
- Follow-up period: Approximately 8 weeks The study duration will be up to 60 weeks.
Study Details
All eligible participants will undergo subcutaneous administrations of lunsekimig or matching placebo during a 48-weeks treatment period

This study investigates the condition known as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) characterized by an eosinophilic phenotype. The purpose of this study is to understand how an investigational medication compares to a placebo in adult participants who have COPD that is not well controlled.
The study focuses on evaluating the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of the investigational medication. It aims to gain insights into how the treatment affects individuals with COPD, especially those with an eosinophilic phenotype, to improve management of the condition.
- Who can participate: Adults aged 40 to 80 years with physician-diagnosed COPD for at least one year may participate. Key eligibility includes a specific lung function range, a history of smoking, and certain levels of blood eosinophils.
- Study details: Participants will receive subcutaneous doses of either the investigational medication or a placebo. The study will assess the effects of the treatment over a 48-week period. A placebo is an inactive substance that looks like the investigational medicine but does not contain any medicine.
- Study timelines: The study will last 60 weeks.
