The AIRWARD Study: A Study to Test Whether Verducatib Helps People With Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease

9 novembre 2026 aggiornato da: Boehringer Ingelheim

The AIRWARD Study: A Phase III, Double-blind, Randomised, Placebo-controlled, Multicentre Trial to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of Verducatib in Participants With COPD

This study is open to adults aged 40 years and older who have chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) with ongoing symptoms. People can join the study if they are at risk of COPD flare-ups (also called acute exacerbations or sudden worsening of COPD symptoms) even though they use their usual inhaled or oral COPD medicines. They must have had at least 2 moderate COPD flare-ups or at least 1 severe COPD flare-up in the past year, including at least 1 while taking their current COPD treatment. People must also have a blood test result showing less than 300 eosinophils (a type of white blood cell) per microliter. The purpose of this study is to find out whether a medicine called verducatib helps people with COPD have fewer flare-ups or sudden worsening of COPD symptoms over up to about 1.5 years, compared with placebo. The study also looks at whether verducatib delays the time until the first flare-up, how well it is tolerated, improves participants' quality of life, and improves their lung function when compared with placebo.

In this study, participants are put into 2 groups randomly, which means by chance. One group takes verducatib as tablets and the other group takes placebo tablets. Placebo tablets look like verducatib tablets but do not contain any medicine. Participants take a tablet by mouth once a day for at least 1 year and up to about 1.5 years. All participants continue their regular COPD treatment during the study.

Participants are in the study for at least 1 year and up to about 1 year and 8 months. During this time, they have regular visits at the study site and monthly phone calls from the study staff to check on their COPD symptoms and any health problems. Doctors collect information about participants' health, including blood samples. They record how often participants have moderate or severe COPD flare-ups and how long it takes until the first flare-up. They also measure lung function and ask participants to fill in questionnaires about their symptoms and daily life. Participants have to daily report their symptoms and intake of certain medications in an electronic diary at home. The results are compared between the 2 groups to see whether verducatib helps reduce flare-ups and improves symptoms. The doctors also regularly check participants' health and note any unwanted effects.

Up to week 76
Achievement of St George's Respiratory Questionnaire (SGRQ) response (decrease in total score by ≥4 points from baseline) at week 52
Lasso di tempo: At baseline and at week 52

SGRQ consists of 50 items covering symptoms, activity and impacts on daily life with varying response options (3 to 5-point Likert scales, dichotomous response option). Domain scores as well as a global score are generated ranging from 0 to 100, with lower scores indicating better health related Quality of Life (QoL).

At baseline and at week 52
Absolute change from baseline in post-Bronchodilator (BD) forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1) (milliliters) at week 52
Lasso di tempo: At baseline and at week 52

Annualised rate of severe AECOPD

Absolute change from baseline in SGRQ total score at week 52
Lasso di tempo: At baseline and at week 52
At baseline and at week 52
Achievement of Evaluating Respiratory Symptoms E-RS: COPD response (decrease by ≥2 points from baseline) at week 52
Lasso di tempo: At baseline and at week 52

E-RS:COPD is an 11-item respiratory symptom score derived from the 14-item Exacerbations of chronic pulmonary disease tool (EXACT)-COPD diary and is used to assess the severity of daily respiratory symptoms in patients with stable COPD. It covers exacerbation-related symptoms breathlessness (5 items), cough and sputum (3 items), and chest symptoms (3 items). These items sum up to a total score ranging from 0 to 40, with higher scores indicating higher symptom severity.

At baseline and at week 52
Achievement of Chronic Airways Disease Assessment Test (CAAT) response (decrease by ≥2 points from baseline) at week 52
Lasso di tempo: At baseline and at week 52

CAAT is designed to measure health status impairment in chronic airways disease; it consists of 8 unidimensional items with scores ranging from 0 to 5 (0 = no impairment). The total score ranges from 0 - 40 with a higher score indicating a worse health status of the patient.

At baseline and at week 52
Absolute change from baseline in post-BD Forced expiratory volume in 1 second percent predicted (FEV1pp) at week 52
