Plain-language summary

Primary Objective: Evaluate the efficacy of itepekimab compared with placebo on the annualized rate of acute moderate-or-severe COPD exacerbations in former smokers with moderate-to-severe COPD Secondary Objectives: * Evaluate the efficacy of itepekimab compared with placebo on pulmonary function in former smokers with moderate-to-severe COPD * Evaluate the efficacy of itepekimab compared with placebo on occurrence of acute exacerbation of COPD (AECOPD) in former smokers with moderate-to-severe COPD * Evaluate the efficacy of itepekimab compared with placebo on severe AECOPD in former smokers with moderate-to-severe COPD * Evaluate the efficacy of itepekimab compared with placebo on corticosteroid-treated AECOPD in former smokers with moderate-to-severe COPD * Evaluate the efficacy of itepekimab compared with placebo on respiratory symptoms in former smokers with moderate-to-severe COPD * Evaluate the efficacy of itepekimab compared with placebo on Forced Expiratory Volume in 1 second (FEV1) slope in former smokers with moderate-to-severe COPD * Evaluate the efficacy of itepekimab compared with placebo on health-related quality of life (HRQoL) as assessed by St. George's Respiratory Questionnaire (SGRQ) in former smokers with moderate-to-severe COPD * Evaluate the safety and tolerability of itepekimab in former smokers with moderate-to-severe COPD * Evaluate the pharmacokinetic (PK) profile of itepekimab in former smokers with moderate-to-severe COPD * Evaluate immunogenicity to itepekimab in former smokers with moderate-to-severe COPD

Inclusion criteria : * Participant must be 40 to 85 years of age inclusive. * Physician diagnosis of COPD for at least 1 year (based on Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease \[GOLD\] definition). * Smoking history of ≥10 pack-years, but who are not currently smoking, and smoking cessation must have occurred ≥6 months prior to Screening (Visit 1A) with an intention to quit permanently. * Participants with moderate-to-severe COPD * Participant-reported history of signs and symptoms of chronic bronchitis (chronic productive cough for at least 3 months in the year prior to screening in a participant in whom other causes of chronic cough \[eg, inadequately treated gastroesophageal reflux or chronic rhinosinusitis; or clinical diagnosis of bronchiectasis\] has been excluded). * Documented history of high exacerbation risk defined as having had ≥2 moderate or ≥1 severe exacerbations within the year prior to Screening (Visit 1A), with at least 1 exacerbation treated with systemic corticosteroids. At least one exacerbation must have occurred while participants were on their current controller therapy: * Moderate exacerbations will be recorded by the Investigator and are defined as acute worsening of respiratory symptoms that requires either systemic corticosteroids (IM, IV, or oral) and/or antibiotics. * Severe exacerbations will be recorded by the Investigator and are defined as AECOPD that require hospitalization or observation for \>24 hours in emergency depa…

Questions worth asking your doctor

Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.

1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?

Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.

Questions for the trial coordinator

The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.

1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?

A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.

What they're measuring

Annualized rate of moderate or severe acute exacerbation of COPD (AECOPD)

Timeframe: Baseline up to End Of Treatment (EOT) (Week 52 for initial randomized participants, Week 24 to 52 for potential additional randomized participants)
