New drug aims to cut COPD Flare-Ups in patients with type 2 inflammation
NCT ID NCT06961214
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests an experimental drug called depemokimab in adults aged 40 to 80 with moderate to severe COPD and type 2 inflammation. The goal is to see if adding this medicine to standard care can reduce the number of serious flare-ups that require steroids, antibiotics, or hospital stays. About 960 participants will receive either depemokimab or a placebo, and researchers will track how often flare-ups occur over time.
