E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
• To evaluate the efficacy of lebrikizumab compared with placebo in improving lung function, as measured by the absolute change in pre-bronchodilator forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1) in patients with COPD and a history of exacerbations in the biomarker-high group (elevated serum periostin and blood eosinophils) and biomarker low group.
|
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
• To evaluate in the biomarker high and biomarker-low groups the rate of moderate and severe COPD exacerbations, change in post-bronchodilator FEV1, time to first exacerbation, and change in health-related quality of life and change in symptoms as measured by the Saint George’s Respiratory Questionnaire for COPD patients (SGRQ-C), EXAcerbations of Chronic Pulmonary Disease Tool (EXACT), and Baseline Dyspnea Index/Transition Dyspnea Index (BDI/TDI) • To evaluate the safety of lebrikizumab compared with placebo in patients with COPD and a history of exacerbations, focusing on the nature, frequency, and severity of serious and non-serious adverse events • To evaluate serum lebrikizumab concentrations and PK parameters in patients with COPD and a history of exacerbations

E.2.3.1 | Full title, date and version of each sub-study and their related objectives |
Computed Tomography Substudy in association with Lebrikizumab : A phase II, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study to assess the efficacy and safety of Lebrikizumab in patients with COPD and a history of exacerbations.
Date: 30-Sep-2015
Version: 1
Objectives: To evaluate the effect of lebrikizumab compared with placebo on the following airway and lobar volume parameters as measured by computerized tomography (CT) scan: • Change in airway wall thickness at total lung capacity (TLC) from baseline to Week 24 • Change in airway resistance at functional residual capacity (FRC) and TLC from baseline to Week 24 • Changes in lobar volume at FRC and TLC from baseline to Week 24 • Changes in airway volume at FRC and TLC from baseline to Week 24 • Change in air trapping at FRC from baseline to Week 24 • Change in low attenuation score at TLC from baseline to Week 24 • The correlation between physiological (FEV1) and functional changes will be explored, if appropriate
