Improving the health of people with COPD

Trial Objectives

Researchers want to know if an investigational medication can reduce the number of exacerbations in people with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). They want to compare the effects, good or bad, of the investigational medication to a placebo (an inactive substance that looks the same and is administered the same as the investigational medication) on you and your COPD. In this study, participants will be given either Investigational medication or placebo (a substance that looks like the investigational medication, but has no active ingredients). They will take the assigned medication with their regular COPD medications. During clinic visits, participants will receive two injections, a blood draw, a physical exam, and a few other procedures depending on the visit.
