This is a Phase IIb, randomized, placebo controlled study evaluating the efficacy and safety of 3 different doses of AZD6793 (5, 15 and 45 mg once a day and oral tablet) in patients with moderate to severe COPD with at least 2 outpatient exacerbations or one hospitalization in the past year.
AZD6793 has a broad anti-inflammatory activity by inhibiting the pathways downstream of interleukin 1 receptor-like 1 (ST2) which is the receptor for IL-33, IL-1β, IL-18, IL-36 and various other toll-like receptors, thus reducing both neutrophilic and eosinophilic inflammation.
