Can a new biologic drug prevent COPD Flare-Ups?

NCT ID NCT07725939

First seen Jul 24, 2026 · Last updated Jul 24, 2026

Summary

This phase 2 trial tests whether galvokimig, an experimental biologic drug, can reduce the number of moderate-to-severe COPD flare-ups in people with chronic bronchitis. About 400 adults aged 40 to 80 with moderate-to-severe COPD will receive either galvokimig or a placebo as an injection over 24 to 52 weeks. The main goal is to see if the drug delays the first serious flare-up compared to placebo.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
an experimental biologic drug called galvokimig
What this could lead to
If it works, galvokimig could offer a new way to prevent COPD flare-ups and slow lung decline in people with chronic bronchitis.
What could go wrong
This is an early phase 2 trial, so the drug may not prove effective or safe. Side effects from a biologic are possible, and results may not apply to all COPD patients.
