Massive data dive reveals COPD outcomes after severe attacks
NCT ID NCT07414134
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study analyzed health records from over 3,500 people with COPD who had a severe flare-up and were later treated with the medication BGF. Researchers tracked how many additional flare-ups and heart-related events occurred over time. The goal was to understand real-world outcomes, not to test a new treatment.

Who can take part
This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.
Who is studied
The study population is selected to allow a clear comparison of outcomes according to the timing of BGF initiation following a severe COPD exacerbation. The overall sample will include adult (aged ≥40) patients with COPD who have experienced a qualifying severe COPD exacerbation and received treatment with BGF within 6 months. Patients should not have prior single inhaler triple therapy (SITT) use during the available history of patients' data preceding the qualifying index severe exacerbation and prior to initiating BGF treatment.

Inclusion Criteria: * ≥ 1 prescription(s) fill for BGF on or following January 1, 2021 * Patients must have evidence of a severe qualifying exacerbation event. * The qualifying severe exacerbation event discharge date must occur within the 180-day period preceding the initiation of BGF for classification of patients into prompt or delayed initiators of BGF. * The discharge date of the first (earliest) observed qualifying index exacerbation event will be set as the index date * ≥ 12 months of continuous health plan enrollment preceding the qualifying index exacerbation event date (baseline period) * ≥ 1 day of continuous enrollment following the qualifying index exacerbation date * Age ≥ 40 years on the qualifying index exacerbation date Exclusion Criteria: * Presence of cancer diagnoses other than basal or squamous cell skin cancer during the baseline period preceding the index date or entire follow-up period * Presence of ≥2 claims with a diagnosis of interstitial fibrosis or sarcoidosis diagnoses during the period preceding the index date or entire follow-up period * Presence of SITT at any time during the entire available history of patients' data preceding the index date through BGF initiation
