Purpose

This study is trying to identify the right dose of a long-acting medicine called WIN378 for people with moderate - severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). WIN378 blocks the action of a protein called TSLP that causes inflammation in the lung and may contribute to COPD control and symptoms. The study will test how doses of WIN378 are handled by the body (pharmacokinetics) and assess the safety of the medicine and markers of COPD inflammation in exhaled breath and blood, lung function and COPD control (pharmacodynamics)

Experimental
WIN378 Dose 1
WIN378 SC injections will be administered
  • Drug: WIN378
    WIN378 is a fully human, long-acting monoclonal antibody that targets the ligand of thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP), blocking its activity and thereby reducing airway inflammation and improving COPD control over an extended dosing interval

Detailed Description

This is a Phase 2a, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, dose-ranging study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of WIN378 in adult participants with moderate - severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Participants will continue their standard background COPD therapy. Eligible participants will receive doses of WIN378 or placebo over a 24-week treatment period.

Notice

Study information shown on this site is derived from ClinicalTrials.gov (a public registry operated by the National Institutes of Health).
