AstraZeneca, in collaboration with Amgen, is conducting a Phase III clinical study titled A Randomised, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled, Parallel Group, Multicentre, Phase III Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of Tezepelumab in Adult Participants With Moderate to Very Severe Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease. The study aims to assess the efficacy and safety of Tezepelumab, a biological treatment, in adults suffering from moderate to very severe COPD.
The intervention being tested is Tezepelumab, administered as a subcutaneous injection every four weeks. It is designed to manage symptoms and improve the quality of life for individuals with COPD.
The study is interventional, with participants randomly assigned to receive either one of two doses of Tezepelumab or a matching placebo. The study employs a parallel intervention model and is quadruple-masked, meaning that the participant, care provider, investigator, and outcomes assessor are all unaware of the treatment allocations. The primary purpose of the study is treatment-focused.
The study began on March 3, 2025, with the primary completion and estimated study completion dates yet to be announced. The latest update was submitted on August 29, 2025, indicating ongoing recruitment and progress.
This study could significantly impact AstraZeneca’s market position, potentially boosting its stock performance if Tezepelumab proves effective. Investors should monitor developments closely, as positive results may enhance AstraZeneca’s competitive edge in the respiratory treatment market, particularly against rivals in the COPD treatment space.
The study is currently ongoing, with further details available on the ClinicalTrials portal.
