NCT ID NCT07610395

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study tests an oral drug called vapendavir in 180 adults with COPD who catch a rhinovirus (common cold). The goal is to see if it can reduce the severity and length of breathing symptoms compared to a placebo. Participants are randomly assigned to one of two doses or a placebo, and they report their symptoms daily.

Active substance

Vapendavir

What this could lead to

If it works, this could point toward a treatment that reduces the severity and duration of cold-related breathing problems in people with COPD.

What could go wrong

This is an early phase 2 trial with only 180 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The drug may not work better than placebo, and side effects are still being studied.
