What this study is about
Depemokimab is being developed as a treatment for individuals with moderate to severe Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disorder (COPD). The aim of this study is to assess the efficacy and safety of early initiation of depemokimab as an add-on medicine in participants with moderate to severe COPD with type 2 inflammation.

🚫 You may not be able to join if…
- The Investigator must judge that COPD is the primary diagnosis accounting for the clinical manifestations of lung disease, and clinical manifestations of lung disease where primary diagnosis is not COPD are excluded
- Participants with a current or prior physician diagnosis of asthma
- Participants with childhood asthma are permitted, provided that childhood asthma has resolved before 18 years of age and has not recurred
- Other clinically significant lung disease: The Investigator must judge that COPD is the primary diagnosis accounting for the clinical manifestations of the lung disease.
- COPD severity: Participants with more than one moderate exacerbation or severe exacerbation in the past 12 months prior to Visit 1
- COPD stability: Participants with pneumonia, COPD exacerbation, or lower respiratory tract infection within the 4 weeks prior to Visit 1
- Lung resection: Participants with a history of, or plan for lung volume reduction surgery/endobronchial valve procedure
- Pulmonary rehabilitation: Participants in the acute phase of a pulmonary rehabilitation program within 4 weeks prior to Visit 1
- Chronic hypercapnia requiring non-invasive positive pressure ventilation (NIPPV) use including Bi-Level Positive Airway Pressure (BiPAP) or Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) are excluded
- Continuous oxygen: Participants requiring oxygen supplementation for COPD
