Who can take part

AI summary

From the trial's eligibility criteria. Machine-read from the registry text on this page, so it can be wrong. The registry text below and the trial team decide who can take part.

The trial is looking for adults aged 40 to 75 with COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease) who smoke or used to smoke, to test an inhaled medicine given by nebulizer.

Age
40 to 75 years
Sex
All sexes
Disease stage
COPD diagnosed for at least 12 months. After a bronchodilator, FEV1 is above 40% and below 80% of predicted. FEV1/FVC ratio is below 0.70. FEV1 rises by at least 150 mL after 4 puffs of albuterol.
Earlier treatment
People must be able to change their current COPD treatment. They must stop long-acting bronchodilators for the whole trial. They must stop short-acting bronchodilators for 8 hours before dosing at each treatment visit.
Biomarker or test result
Current or former smoker with at least 10 pack-years of smoking history.

Main reasons for not taking part

  • Serious heart, kidney, liver, nerve, mental health or blood conditions, or uncontrolled diabetes, within the last 6 months
  • Positive test for hepatitis B, hepatitis C or HIV at the first screening visit
  • Lung infection within 6 weeks, or hospital stay or antibiotic or steroid treatment for a COPD flare-up within 6 months
  • Other lung diseases such as predominant asthma, lung cancer, bronchiectasis, interstitial lung disease, tuberculosis or pulmonary hypertension
