Efficacy and Safety of PF-07275315 Compared with Placebo in Adults with Moderate-to-Severe Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)

2 1

What is this study about?

The study involves adults with moderate-to-severe Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), a long‑term breathing problem that makes it hard to get enough air in and out of the lungs. The investigational medicine, identified as PF-07275315, is given as a small liquid injection under the skin (subcutaneous administration). Some participants will receive a matching placebo, which looks the same but does not contain the active drug.

The purpose of the study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the new medicine compared with placebo in people with this condition. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either the study drug or placebo, and neither they nor the study staff will know which treatment is given (double‑blind design). Over several months, participants will attend regular clinic visits where simple breathing tests, such as measuring the amount of air forced out in one second (FEV1), and questionnaires about symptoms will be done, while safety checks such as blood tests and heart rhythm monitoring are performed. The study will track how often breathing worsening events, called exacerbations, occur and will record any side effects.

1 baseline assessments and enrollment confirmation

after you agree to join the study, a study staff member will confirm your enrollment and record your personal information.

you will undergo baseline measurements, which include a breathing test called fev1 (forced expiratory volume in one second), a lung capacity test called fvc (forced vital capacity), and other routine health checks such as blood pressure, heart rhythm (ecg), and laboratory tests.

2 randomization to study medication or placebo

based on a computer‑generated schedule, you will be assigned either the study drug pf-07275315 or a matching placebo. the assignment is double‑blind, meaning neither you nor the study staff will know which you receive.

3 first subcutaneous injection

the assigned product will be given as a subcutaneous injection (injection under the skin) using a sterile solution for injection.

the label on the product indicates a dose of 0 mg; the exact amount you receive is defined by the study protocol and will be the same at each scheduled administration.

4 regular follow‑up visits and repeat injections

you will return to the study site at scheduled intervals. during phase 2, visits occur up to week 24; during phase 3, visits continue up to week 52.

at each visit you will receive another subcutaneous injection of the same product, undergo repeat fev1 and fvc measurements, and have vital signs and safety labs checked.

the study staff will ask about any worsening of breathing problems, known as exacerbations, and record any side effects.

5 questionnaire completion

at specified weeks (for example week 12 and week 52 in phase 3) you will complete questionnaires that evaluate your breathing health, such as the sgrq (Saint George’s Respiratory Questionnaire), the cat (COPD assessment test), and the e‑rs:copd (Evaluating Respiratory Symptoms in COPD).

these forms help measure changes in symptoms over time.

6 continuous safety monitoring

throughout the study you will be asked to report any new medical problems, especially those that start after you begin the medication. these are called treatment‑emergent adverse events (teae).

serious adverse events (sae) that require hospitalization or lead to discontinuation will be recorded immediately.

7 final study visit and end of treatment

at the end of the treatment period (week 24 for phase 2 or week 52 for phase 3) you will have a final visit that includes the same breathing tests, questionnaires, and safety assessments performed at baseline.

after the final assessments, the study medication will be stopped and you will be advised on any further care needed.

Who Can Join the Study?

Be between 35 and 80 years old at the time of the screening visit; if you could become pregnant, you must agree to use a highly effective birth‑control method.
Have a diagnosis of COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease) for at least one year, confirmed using the current GOLD guidelines (a worldwide standard for defining COPD).
Show specific lung‑function results after using a medication that opens the airways (bronchodilator): the ratio of FEV1 (the amount of air you can forcefully exhale in one second) to FVC (the total amount of air you can exhale) must be less than 0.7, and your FEV1 must be between 30 % and 70 % of what is predicted for a healthy person of your age, sex, and size.
Score at least 15 on the CAT questionnaire (a short survey that measures how COPD affects you) at any pre‑randomization visit, and all CAT scores must be greater than 10.
Have a blood eosinophil count of at least 150 cells per microliter on one of the screening visits (eosinophils are a type of white blood cell that can affect how you respond to certain COPD medicines).
Be continuously treated with standard COPD therapy (SOC therapy) that includes three medicines together: a LABA (long‑acting beta‑agonist), a LAMA (long‑acting muscarinic antagonist), and an ICS (inhaled corticosteroid) for at least six months, and the dose must have been stable for at least three months. If an inhaled steroid cannot be used, a combination of LABA + LAMA alone is acceptable.
Be a current smoker or a former smoker with a history of at least 10 pack‑years (the equivalent of smoking one pack per day for ten years). Former smokers must have not used any tobacco product for at least six months before the first visit. Only cigarette smoking counts; cigars, pipes, chewing tobacco, vaping, or similar products are not considered.
Have had at least two moderate or severe COPD exacerbations (worsening of symptoms) in the past 12 months, with at least one treated with oral or injectable systemic corticosteroids and at least one occurring while you were on triple therapy (LABA + LAMA + ICS). A moderate exacerbation requires steroids and/or antibiotics for at least three days; a severe exacerbation requires a hospital stay or a stay in an emergency/urgent‑care setting for 24 hours or more.
Have a body mass index (BMI) between 18 and 40 kg/m² (a measure that relates weight to height).

Who Cannot Join the Study?

Prior or current treatment with approved or experimental biologic drugs (such as inhibitors of IL‑4Rα, TSLP, IL‑5) for type 2 inflammatory diseases like eczema, eosinophilic esophagitis, or chronic sinusitis.

Trial locations

PF-07275315 is an experimental medicine being studied for people with moderate‑to‑severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). It is given as a liquid that is injected just under the skin. Researchers hope that this medicine can improve breathing, reduce COPD symptoms such as shortness of breath and coughing, and possibly lower the number of flare‑ups. The trial is testing whether PF‑07275315 works better than a placebo in helping participants feel better and stay healthier.

Investigated diseases:

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) – Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a long‑term lung condition that makes it hard to breathe. It is characterized by narrowed airways and damage to the lung tissue, which reduces airflow. Over time the breathing difficulty usually gets worse, especially during physical activity. People may notice a persistent cough, increased mucus production, and shortness of breath. The disease often progresses in stages, moving from mild to moderate and then to more severe forms as the lungs lose more function.
