Más betegség

• History of severe allergic reactions or anaphylaxis to biologic agents, or known hypersensitivity to any component of the study drug, or a history of medications or other allergens that the investigator believes would prevent the subject from participating in the study;

• Pregnant or breastfeeding, or planning to become pregnant during the study period or within 12 weeks after the last dose of TQC2938, or female subjects with a positive pregnancy test at screening or randomization.

• Understand and sign the written informed consent, and comply with the research process schedule during the study period.；
• Be aged 40-80 years inclusive at the time of signing the informed consent form；
• Have a record of COPD diagnosis for at least 12 months prior to screening；
