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 on Investigational Medication for COPD
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

Inclusion Criteria:
- Between 40 to 80 years of age
- Physician diagnosed chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) ≥1 year
- Post-bronchodilator forced expiratory volume in 1 second (post-BD FEV1) ≥ 20% and ≤ 70% of predicted value and FEV1/FVC (forced expiratory volume in 1 second /forced vital capacity) <0.70

- any biologic therapy or systemic immunosuppressant within 4 months or 5 half-lives prior to Screening
The above information is not intended to contain all considerations relevant to a patient's potential participation in a clinical trial.
This study investigates the effects of an investigational medication on adults with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) characterized by an eosinophilic phenotype. The study aims to explore better treatment options for those whose condition is not well controlled.
The focus of the study is to evaluate the safety, effectiveness, and tolerability of the investigational medication when compared to a placebo. By understanding these aspects, researchers hope to gain insights into how the medication can potentially improve the management of COPD symptoms.
- Who can participate: Adults aged 40 to 80 years with COPD for at least one year can participate. Eligibility includes specific lung function, smoking history, and blood eosinophil levels.
- Study details: Participants will receive the investigational medication through subcutaneous injections over a 48-week period.
- Study timelines: The study will last 60 weeks.
