Exclusion Criteria

  1. COPD exacerbation within the 4 weeks prior to randomization. 2. Clinically important pulmonary disease other than COPD (eg, asthma, active lung infection, clinically significant bronchiectasis, pulmonary fibrosis, cystic fibrosis, lung cancer, alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency, tuberculosis). 3. Significant immunodeficiency and/or positive serological tests for hepatitis B, hepatitis C, or known human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection. 4. Pneumonia requiring antibiotics or antiviral medication within 28 days prior to Visit 1. 5. History of clinically significant infection (excluding pneumonia), acute upper or lower respiratory infection, requiring antibiotics or antiviral medication within 14 days prior to Visit 1. 6. Evidence of active liver disease (with or without ongoing treatment) 7.

Current or history, within the past year of Visit 1, of substance and/or alcohol abuse. 9. History of cancer except: 1. Participants who have had basal cell carcinoma, localized squamous cell carcinoma of the skin or in situ carcinoma of the cervix are eligible to participate in the study provided that curative therapy was completed at least 12 months prior to Visit 1 2. Participants who have had other malignancies are eligible provided that curative therapy was completed at least 5 years prior to Visit 1 10. Any clinically significant abnormal findings in physical examination, vital signs, hematology, clinical chemistry, or urinalysis during Screening Period, which in the opinion of the investigator, may put the participant at risk because of his/her participation in the study, or may influence the results of the study, or the participant's ability to complete the entire duration of the study. 11. Known history of allergy or reaction to any component of the investigational product formulation 12. Current treatment with biologic drugs for COPD (eg, dupilumab, mepolizumab) or use of Therapeutics, biologics within 5 half-lives or 4 months, whichever is longer, from randomization 13.

Participants who are participating in the acute phase of a pulmonary rehabilitation program, i.e. who started rehabilitation < 4 weeks prior to screening (Note: participants in the maintenance phase of a rehabilitation program can be included). 17. History or active conditions associated with the onset of non-hereditary palmoplantar keratosis: 18.
