What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now This study
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled

Summary

This study aims to understand why some COPD patients benefit from inhaled corticosteroids (ICS) while others do not, by looking at molecular changes in the body. Researchers will enroll 135 former smokers with stable COPD who are already on dual bronchodilators. Participants will be grouped by their blood eosinophil levels and randomly assigned to receive ICS or continue usual care, with samples taken to identify molecular signatures.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: * Male and female patients ≥40 years of age. * ≥ 10 pack-years smoking. * Former smokers (≥6 months). * post-bronchodilator FEV1/FVC\<0.70. * FEV1 ≥30 (i.e. mild-moderated COPD patients). * Signed written informed consent form. * On regular treatment with dual long-acting bronchodilators (LABA+LAMA), minimum 8 weeks of usage. * Women of child-bearing potential\* must have a negative pregnancy test in serum or urine before the inclusion in the study and agree to use highly effective contraceptive methods during the study. Highly effective contraceptive methods will include: intrauterine device, bilateral tubal occlusion, vasectomized partner and sexual abstinence. * Hormonal contraceptive methods will be avoided due to the risk of adverse events and impairment of liver function. Exclusion Criteria: * Presence of other respiratory disorders, (i.e. current physician diagnosis of asthma, early life history of asthma (\<21 years) a previous clinical diagnosis of bronchiectasis, interstitial lung disease, pulmonary eosinophilia). * Long-term oxygen therapy or non-invasive mechanical ventilation at home. * Current smokers. * Active cancer. * Use of ICS in the 3 months prior to the recruitment. * Participating in another randomized trial. * Not likely to complete the study. * Pregnant or breastfeeding females. * Exacerbations in the previous 8 weeks. * Primary or secondary immunodeficiency. * Immunosuppression or regular oral corticosteroid treatment. * Allergy to IMP's excipients. * Any circumstances which could contradict study participation and lead the investigator to assess the patient as unsuitable for study participation for any other reason.
