Phase 3 study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of a benralizumab in patients with moderate to very severe COPD with a history of frequent COPD exacerbations and elevated peripheral blood eosinophils (≥300/μL). Eligible patients must have a history of ≥2 moderate and/or severe COPD exacerbations in the previous year despite receiving triple (ICS/LABA/LAMA) background therapy for at least 3 months and ICS-based dual inhaled treatment for the remainder of the year. Eligible patients must also have an elevated blood eosinophil count. The treatment period will be of variable duration and will continue until the last patient has the opportunity to complete a minimum of 56 weeks, at which point all patients will complete the study. The primary endpoint will be analyzed at Week 56.
Benralizumab solution for injection in accessorized prefilled syringe (APFS) will be administered subcutaneously (SC) every 4 weeks for the first 3 doses - Weeks 0, 4 and 8, and then every 8 weeks until the end of treatment.
Matching placebo will be administered subcutaneously with accessorized prefilled syringe (APFS) every 4 weeks for the first 3 doses - Weeks 0, 4 and 8, and then every 8 weeks until the end of treatment.
