Moderate to Severe
COPD Treatment Study
(or Placebo)
This study is trying to determine if an investigational drug (dupilumab, the active product) can reduce the number of COPD exacerbations over a period of 1 year compared to placebo (inactive product). Both are injected subcutaneously i.e. is given under the skin.
You will have a 50:50 chance of getting either product. NOTE: an “investigational drug” means that the FDA has not yet approved the drug for use in COPD even though it has been approved in other respiratory conditions like asthma.
