E.2.3 | Trial contains a sub-study | Yes |
E.2.3.1 | Full title, date and version of each sub-study and their related objectives |
Title: Cough Monitoring Substudy Date and Version: Not applicable (part of the main protocol) Objective 1: To assess the effects of mitiperstat (AZD4831) compared to placebo on change in cough frequency measured over a 24-hour period between start of treatment and Week 12. Objective 2: To investigate whether cough frequency is associated with lung function (eg. PEF, FEV1), cough/COPD symptom scores (eg. BCSS, CAT and Cough VAS) and sputum/blood biomarkers (eg. MPO concentration, neutrophil activation markers). |

E.3 | Principal inclusion criteria |
1. Confirmed primary diagnosis of moderate to severe COPD as per FEV1/FVC < 0.7, and post-BD FEV1 ≥ 25% predicted) 2. Current or ex-smokers with a tobacco history of ≥ 10 pack-years 3. High risk of exacerbations as defined by any one of the following: (a) A documented history of ≥ 1 moderate or severe AECOPD requiring systemic corticosteroids and/or antibiotics for at least 3 days’ duration (or 1 injection of Depot formulation), or hospitalisation for reason of AECOPD in the 24 months prior to screening or (b) Frequent productive cough, defined as a positive response to both of the following questions: • Over the past 3 months, I have coughed at least several days a week • Over the past 3 months, I have brought up phlegm (sputum) at least several days a week, or (c) Post-BD FEV1 < 50% predicted. 4. Clinically stable and free from an exacerbation of COPD for 1 month prior to SV1 (screening) and prior to Day 1. 5. Participants who are at least 70% compliant with each of the following: morning e-Diary, evening e-Diary, and PEF measurements during the 14 days preceding SV3 based on the e-Diary. 6. Participants who have a documented stable regimen of triple therapy or dual therapy for ≥ 3 months prior to enrolment. Triple therapy may consist of an appropriate combination of ICS + LABA + LAMA. Dual therapy consists of either inhaled ICS/LABA or LABA + LAMA where the treating physician deems the participant unsuitable for ICS (eg, blood eosinophil count ≤ 100 cells/µL on 2 separate occasions, or on the basis of previous or perceived risk of significant AEs from ICS-based therapy, such as previous episodes of pneumonia or significant oral candidiasis). |
|
E.4 | Principal exclusion criteria |
1. Current diagnosis of asthma or past diagnosis of asthma which persisted beyond the age of 25 years 2. Active malignancy requiring treatment (with the exception of basal cell or squamous cell carcinomas of the skin and stable prostate cancer) 3. Evidence of untreated active TB: Participants currently receiving treatment for active TB may be considered after completion of an appropriate course of therapy. 4. Change in smoking status in 12 weeks prior to enrolment or intention to change smoking status between enrolment and end of follow-up. 5. Current diagnosis of hyperthyroidism, uncontrolled hypothyroidism (including but not limited to TSH ≥ 10 mIU/L), or any clinically significant thyroid disease. 6. Participant who is going to start or finish intensive COPD rehabilitation program at anytime during study period. Participants can be recruited immediately following the completion of their COPD rehabilitation program. |

E.5 End points |
E.5.1 | Primary end point(s) |
Time to first COPDCompEx event. COPDCompEx events include changes in COPD symptoms, lung function testing, COPD exacerbations, study dropout due to lack of efficacy, and use of reliever medication. |
