Lead Sponsor:

Sanofi

Collaborating Sponsors:

Regeneron Pharmaceuticals

Conditions:

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease

Eligibility:

All Genders

40-85 years

Phase:

PHASE3

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 ...

Detailed Description

Approximately 68 weeks including a 4-week screening period, a 52-week treatment period, and 12 weeks of follow-up

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion

  • Participants with a physician diagnosis of COPD who met the following criteria at screening:
  • Current or former smokers with a smoking history of ≥10 pack-years.
  • Moderate-to-severe COPD (post-bronchodilator FEV1/ forced vital capacity \[FVC\] ratio \<0.70 and post-bronchodilator FEV1 % predicted \>30% and ≤70%).
  • Medical Research Council (MRC) Dyspnea Scale grade ≥2.
  • Patient-reported history of signs and symptoms of chronic bronchitis (chronic productive cough) for 3 months in the year up to screening in the absence of other known causes of chronic cough.
  • Documented history of high exacerbation risk defined as exacerbation history of ≥2 moderate or ≥1 severe within the year prior to inclusion. At least one exacerbation should have occurred while the participant was taking inhaled corticosteroid (ICS)/long-acting beta agonist (LABA)/long-acting muscarinic antagonist (LAMA) (or LABA/LAMA if ICS is contraindicated). Moderate exacerbations were recorded by the investigator and defined as AECOPD that required either systemic corticosteroids (intramuscular, intravenous, or oral) and/or antibiotics. One of the two required moderate exacerbations had to require the use of systemic corticosteroids. Severe exacerbations were recorded by the investigator and defined as AECOPD requiring hospitalization or observation \> 24 hours in emergency department/urgent care facility.
  • Background triple therapy (ICS + LABA + LAMA) for 3 months prior to randomization with a stable dose of medication for ≥1 month prior to Visit 1; Double therapy (LABA + LAMA) allowed if ICS is contraindicated.
  • Evidence of Type 2 inflammation: Participants with blood eosinophils ≥300 cells/microliter at Visit 1.

Exclusion

  • COPD diagnosis for less than 12 months prior to randomization.
  • Participants with current diagnosis of asthma according to the Global Initiative for Asthma (GINA) guidelines, or documented history of asthma.
  • Significant pulmonary disease other than COPD (e.g., lung fibrosis, sarcoidosis, interstitial lung disease, pulmonary hypertension, bronchiectasis, Churg-Strauss Syndrome etc) or another diagnosed pulmonary or systemic disease associated with elevated peripheral eosinophil counts.
  • Cor pulmonale, evidence of right cardiac failure.
  • Long-term treatment with oxygen \>4.0 L/min OR if a participant requires more than 2.0 L/min in order to maintain oxygen saturation \>88%
  • Hypercapnia requiring Bi-level ventilation.
  • AECOPD as defined in inclusion criteria within 4 weeks prior to screening, or during the screening period.
  • Respiratory tract infection within 4 weeks prior to screening, or during the screening period.
  • History of, or planned pneumonectomy or lung volume reduction surgery. Participants who were participating in the acute phase of a pulmonary rehabilitation program, ie, who started rehabilitation \<4 weeks prior to screening (Note: participants in the maintenance phase of a rehabilitation program can be included).
  • Diagnosis of α-1 anti-trypsin deficiency.
  • The above information is not intended to contain all considerations relevant to a patient's potential participation in a clinical trial.
