OBERON (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease)

Purpose of this Study

We are doing this study to find out if an investigational drug called tozorakimab (the study drug) will work and be safe for treating COPD patients who have a history of COPD exacerbations (also called flare-ups, which is when your COPD gets worse).

What is Involved?

If you choose to join this study, you will go through a screening process that lasts at least 2 weeks and up to 12 weeks, which will include breathing tests, ECG, CT scan, and blood draws.

If you are eligible to participate, you will:
- Get a random assignment (like drawing numbers from a hat) to 1 of 3 groups
-- Group 1 will get a dose of the study drug every 4 weeks
-- Group 2 will get a dose of the study drug every 8 weeks alternating with a placebo (i.e., Week 0 = study drug, Week 4 = placebo, Week 8 = study drug, and so on)
-- Group 3 will get placebo every 4 weeks

A placebo is an inactive substance that has no medicinal properties. You will receive the study drug or placebo as an injection every 4 weeks for a year (13 doses altogether).
