This After Market Study is Seeing if Dupilumab Plus Usual Standard of Care (SOC) is Better Than Usual Care Alone for Adult Participants After a Severe Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) Flare-Up Requiring Hospitalization
754 participantsStarted 2026-06-30
Plain-language summary
This study is researching a drug called dupilumab, referred to as "study drug". The study is focused on people diagnosed with COPD to determine if the study drug, in addition to standard of care treatment for COPD, might reduce the reoccurrence of a COPD exacerbation (a "flare-up") happening within the study treatment duration (around 90 days).
The study is looking at another research question:
• What side effects may happen from taking the study drug

Inclusion criteria
. Has a clinical diagnosis of COPD prior to randomization, as defined in the protocol
. Hospitalized or admitted to the ED \>24 hours (from time of first admission or presentation to the ED) for acute exacerbation of COPD as primary diagnosis according to the principal investigator and exacerbation is managed by Systemic Corticosteroids (SCS) ± antibiotics and other appropriate treatments as per SOC
. Elevated blood eosinophil counts during the current exacerbation, as defined in the protocol. The exacerbation event starts from the day Systemic Corticosteroids (SCS) ± antibiotics are administered continuously up to the day they presented to ED/hospital
Exclusion criteria
. Clinical evidence of pneumonia as the primary cause of admission in the investigator's opinion or acquired during hospital stay
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?

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.
. Complicating pulmonary conditions during the 8 weeks prior to randomization which may confound treatment assessments, as defined in the protocol
. Clinically significant pulmonary diseases other than COPD which may impair lung function and interfere with treatment assessments
. Participants with clinically significant α-1 anti-trypsin deficiency which may impair lung function and interfere with treatment assessments
. Cardiac-related comorbidity, as defined in the protocol
. Treatment with invasive mechanical ventilation in-hospital during the index event, as defined in the protocol
. Any biologic therapy or biologic Investigational Medicinal Product (IMP) to treat type 2 inflammatory diseases within 6 months prior to the screening visit or 5 half-lives, whichever is longer, as defined in the protocol
