Efficacy, Safety, and Tolerability Study of Lunsekimig Compared With Placebo in Adult Participants With Inadequately Controlled Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), Characterized by an Eosinophilic Phenotype
- Conditions
- Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease
- Interventions
- Drug: Placebo
- Registration Number
- NCT07190222
- Lead Sponsor
- Sanofi
- Brief Summary
This is a parallel, Phase 2/Phase 3, 3-arm study to investigate the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of subcutaneous (SC) treatment with lunsekimig compared with placebo in adult participants (aged 40 to 80 years, inclusive) with inadequately controlled Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) characterized by an eosinophilic phenotype.
Participation to the study consists of 3 periods:
* Screening period of up to 4 weeks
* Randomized intervention period of approximately 48 weeks
* Follow-up period: Approximately 8 weeks The study duration will be up to 60 weeks.
- Detailed Description
All eligible participants will undergo subcutaneous administrations of lunsekimig or matching placebo during a 48-weeks treatment period

- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Annualized rate of moderatetosevere chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) exacerbations From Baseline up to 48 weeks The annualized moderate or severe COPD exacerbation rate up to 48 weeks treatment period compared to placebo
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Change from baseline in pre-Bronchodilator Forced Expiratory Volume in 1 second (pre-BD FEV1) From Baseline up to 48 weeks The pre-Bronchodilator Forced Expiratory Volume in 1 second is defined as the volume of air exhaled from the lungs in the first second of a forced expiration.
Change from baseline in post-Bronchodilator Forced Expiratory Volume in 1 second (post-BD FEV1) From Baseline up to 48 weeks The post-Bronchodilator Forced Expiratory Volume in 1 second is defined as the volume of air exhaled from the lungs in the first second of a forced expiration
Change from baseline in the SGRQ-C total score From Baseline up to 48 weeks The St. George's Respiratory Questionnaire for patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease is derived from the St. George's Respiratory Questionnaire (SGRQ) and is designed to measure and quantify health status in adult patients with chronic airflow limitation. A global score ranges from 0 to 100 with lower scores indicating better quality-of-life.
SGRQ responder defined as an improvement of ≥4 points in the SGRQ-C total score From Baseline up to 48 weeks Change from baseline in the Chronic airways assessment Test (CAAT) score From Baseline up to 48 weeks The CAAT is an 8-item patient-reported outcome (PRO) measure designed to assess the impact of chronic airways diseases, including COPD, on patients' health status. The CAAT has a scoring range of 0-40, with higher scores indicating a greater impact of the disease on health status.
E-RS:COPD responder defined as an improvement of ≥2 points in the ERS:COPD total score From Baseline up to 48 weeks CAAT responder defined as an improvement of ≥2 points in the CAAT) total score From Baseline up to 48 weeks Change from baseline in the E-RS:COPD total score From Baseline up to 48 weeks The Evaluating Respiratory Symptoms in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (E-RS:COPD) is an 11-item patient-reported outcome (PRO) measure that evaluates the severity of respiratory symptoms in patients with stable COPD. The total score ranges from 0 to 40, with higher scores indicating more severe respiratory symptoms.
Annualized rate of severe COPD exacerbations From Baseline up to 48 weeks Time to first moderate or severe COPD exacerbation From Baseline up to 48 weeks Time to first occurrence of moderate to severe COPD exacerbation up to 48 weeks
Time to first severe COPD exacerbation From Baseline up to 48 weeks Time to first occurrence of severe COPD exacerbation up to 48 weeks
Incidence of participants with TEAEs, including AESIs, and SAEs From Baseline up to 56 Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs), Adverse events of Special Interest (AESIs), Serious Adverse Events (SAEs)
Incidence of potentially clinically significant laboratory abnormalities From Baseline up to 56 weeks Serum concentration of lunsekimig From Baseline up to 56 weeks Incidence and titer of antidrug antibodies (ADAs) From Baseline up to 56 weeks
