Study summary

The symptoms associated with COPD include overproduction of mucus and inflammation in the lungs. Overproduction of mucus results in impaired lung function and it encourages bacterial growth and associated COPD exacerbations. Therefore, a treatment that inhibits mucus overproduction or blocks inflammation could benefit COPD patients. The drug under evaluation in this study, BIO-11006 Inhalation Solution, is a new drug that may inhibit overproduction of mucus and may have important anti-inflammatory properties.

Read the detailed description

COPD encompasses a number of chronic lung disorders that obstruct the airways and may be accompanied by airway hyperactivity. The most common form of COPD is a combination of chronic bronchitis and emphysema. Many of the signs and symptoms associated with chronic bronchitis are a result of airway mucus hypersecretion induced by chronic inflammation of the airways. Clinically, mucus hypersecretion results in impaired gas exchange and compromised mucociliary clearance, encouraging bacterial colonization and associated exacerbations. A treatment that inhibits mucus hypersecretion or blocks inflammation could benefit COPD patients with chronic bronchitis. The drug under evaluation in this study, BIO 11006, is a new therapeutic agent that may inhibit mucus secretion and may have important anti inflammatory properties. In this study, BIO-11006 will be administered to COPD patients with chronic bronchitis, and the effects lung function will be assessed.

Inclusion criteria

  • Clinically stable male or female outpatients, 45 years of age or older
  • Active with chronic bronchitis indicated by: (1) = 40% to 70%, (2) FEV1/FVC ≤70%, (3)Chronic productive cough for 3 months in each of 2 successive years, and (4) Sputum (phlegm) production at least several days a week over the past 4 weeks
  • Current or previous smoker with a 20-pack year history

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Treatment with oral prednisone during the 6 weeks before enrollment
  • Changed inhaled dose or long acting bronchodilator dose during the 6 weeks before enrollment
  • Treatment with oxygen (with the exception of night time oxygen) during the 6 weeks before enrollment
  • Current asthma as determined by the investigator
  • Change in smoking status during the previous 6 months
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(3)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

COPD

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease: long-term lung disease that makes it hard to breathe out, including emphysema and chronic bronchitis.

FEV1

From a breathing test (spirometry): how much air you can blow out in the first second. Often given as a percentage of what is expected for your age, height and sex.

Corticosteroids (steroids)

Anti-inflammatory medicines such as prednisone, prednisolone and dexamethasone — not the anabolic steroids used for muscle.

Studies differ in what they allow: check which steroid medicines, routes (tablets, injections, creams, inhalers, eye drops) and doses this study accepts.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Safety of BIO-11006 when administered once or twice daily for 21 days to subjects with COPD by assessing adverse events, physical exams, vital signs, pulmonary function, 12 lead electrocardiogram, clinical blood chemistries, hematology, and urinalysis.

    Time frame: Throughout study

Secondary outcomes

  1. Efficacy of BIO-11006 when administered once or twice daily for 21 days to subjects with COPD by assessing the change from baseline in pulmonary function.

    Time frame: Day 21 of the study
