研究概览

简要总结

The purpose of this study is to investigate the dose response of RPL554 in patients with moderate to severe CHRONIC OBSTRUCTIVE PULMONARY DISEASE that are still symptomatic despite treatment with a stable background of tiotropium over 4 weeks of treatment. This study is intended to support optimal dose selection for a Phase III program evaluating RPL554 as an add-on treatment to standard of care therapy.

详细描述

This is a Phase IIb, randomized, double-blind, placebo controlled, multiple dose, parallel group study to investigate the effects of 4 weeks of treatment with nebulized RPL554 (at different dose levels) compared to placebo in patients with moderate to severe CHRONIC OBSTRUCTIVE PULMONARY DISEASE on a stable background therapy of open-label tiotropium. The study comprises seven visits: Pre-screening (Visit 0), Screening (Visit 1) and then a Treatment Period consisting of Randomization (Visit 2), and weekly visits for 4 weeks (Visit 3 to Visit 6).

This includes any hepatic disease or moderate to severe renal impairment.
  • Documented clinically significant cardiovascular disease such as: any history of arrhythmias, angina, recent (<1 year) or suspected myocardial infarction, congestive heart failure, unstable or uncontrolled hypertension, or diagnosis of hypertension within 3 months prior to Screening.
