Detailed Description

This is a Phase 3, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel group study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of tezepelumab in adults with moderate to very severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) receiving inhaled maintenance therapy and having had at least 2 moderate, or 1 severe, COPD exacerbations in the 12 months prior to Visit 1. Subjects will receive monthly subcutaneous injection of one of two different doses of tezepelumab, or placebo, with a maximum treatment duration of 76 weeks and a minimum of 52 weeks. The study also includes a off-treatment safety follow-up period of 12 weeks.
