NCT ID NCT02655302

First seen May 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 15, 2026 · Updated 3 times

Summary

This study aimed to understand why people with COPD often get bacterial lung infections. Researchers thought a weak immune response (specifically involving IL-17 and IL-22) might be the cause. They planned to compare immune markers in sputum and blood during stable periods and flare-ups. The study was terminated early, so results are limited.
