Overview
Brief Summary
Primary Objective:
To evaluate the efficacy of dupilumab administered every 2 weeks in patients with moderate-or severe Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) as measured by
- Annualized rate of acute moderate and severe COPD exacerbation (AECOPD)
Secondary Objectives:
To evaluate the effect of dupilumab administered every 2 weeks on
- Pre-bronchodilator forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1) over 12 weeks compared to placebo
- Health related quality of life, assessed by the change from baseline to Week 52 in the St. George's Respiratory Questionnaire (SGRQ)
- Pre-bronchodilator FEV1 over 52 weeks compared to placebo
- Lung function assessments
- Moderate and severe COPD exacerbations
- To evaluate safety and tolerability
- To evaluate dupilumab systemic exposure and incidence of anti-drug antibodies (ADA)
Detailed Description
Approximately 68 weeks including a 4-week screening period, a 52-week treatment period, and 12 weeks of follow-up.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Annualized Rate of Moderate or Severe Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) Exacerbations Over the 52-Week Treatment Period
Time Frame: Baseline (Day 1) to Week 52
Moderate exacerbations were recorded by the Investigator and defined as acute exacerbation of COPD (AECOPD) that required either systemic corticosteroids (such as intramuscular, intravenous or oral) and/or antibiotics. Severe exacerbations were also recorded by the Investigator and defined as AECOPD requiring hospitalization, or observation for \>24 hours in an emergency department/urgent care facility or resulting in death. For both moderate and severe events to be counted as separate events, they were separated by at least 14 days. Annualized event rate was the total number of exacerbations that occurred during the treatment period divided by the total number of participant-years treated. Events were adjudicated by independent third party.
Secondary Outcomes
- Change From Baseline in Pre-BD FEV1 at Week 52 in Subgroup of Participants With Baseline FeNO >=20 Ppb(Baseline (Day 1) to Week 52)
- Change From Baseline in Pre-BD FEV1 at Week 52(Baseline (Day 1) to Week 52)
- Change From Baseline in Pre-Bronchodilator (BD) Forced Expiratory Volume in One Second (FEV1) at Week 12(Baseline (Day 1) to Week 12)
