AstraZeneca has launched a Phase II clinical study titled ‘A Phase II, Multicentre, Randomised, Double-blind, Parallel-group, Placebo-controlled Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of Tozorakimab in Participants With Symptomatic Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) With a History of COPD Exacerbations and Elevated Eosinophils (COMETA).’ The study aims to assess the efficacy and safety of Tozorakimab injections compared to a placebo in adults with COPD, focusing on lung function, exacerbation rates, and symptom management.
The intervention being tested is Tozorakimab, an experimental drug administered subcutaneously, designed to improve lung function and reduce exacerbation in COPD patients. It is compared against a placebo administered in the same manner.
The study is interventional with a randomized allocation and parallel intervention model. It employs quadruple masking, meaning the participant, care provider, investigator, and outcomes assessor are unaware of the treatment assignments. The primary purpose is treatment-focused.
The study began on March 18, 2025, with a primary completion date yet to be announced. The last update was submitted on September 2, 2025. These dates are crucial for tracking the study’s progress and anticipating results.
This study could significantly impact AstraZeneca’s market position, potentially boosting its stock performance if Tozorakimab proves effective. It could also influence investor sentiment positively, given the high prevalence of COPD and the demand for effective treatments. Competitors in the respiratory treatment market will likely monitor these developments closely.
The study is currently recruiting, with further details available on the ClinicalTrials portal.
