I have news which might be very valuable to people with severe to very severe COPD. Astra Zeneca is recruiting patients with COPD for a clinical trial that is designed to test a drug that could be helpful to patients with the disease.

As a CureClick Ambassador I want to share this information with my readers because it could be helpful for medically treating people who have COPD.

Information about the clinical trial and eligibility requirements are listed below:

Title

Severe to Very Severe COPD

Condition

Severe to Very Severe COPD

Description

This research study is testing whether a new investigational drug that targets eosinophils (a type of white blood cell) could help patients with COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease) control symptoms and reduce exacerbations (flare-ups) that lead to hospitalizations. The new investigational drug will be compared to oral and inhaled corticosteroids, the current standard of care for COPD.

Enrollment

3794

Sponsor

Astra Zeneca

Drug

Benralizumab

For those of you whom are not familiar with clinical trials, here's some information that you can use:

What Are Clinical Trials?

Clinical trials are research studies to determine whether investigational drugs or treatments are safe and effective for humans.

All investigational devices and medicines must undergo several clinical trials, often times these clinical trials require thousands of people.

Why participate in a clinical trial?

People whom are eligible will have access to new investigational treatments that would be available to the general public only upon approval.

People whom are eligible for clinical trials will also receive study-related medical care and attention from clinical staff at research facilities.

Clinical trials offer hope for many people and gives researchers a chance to find better treatment for others in the future.
