Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: Any of the following is regarded as a criterion for exclusion from the study: 1. Any clinically relevant disease or disorder (past or present), including HIV or Hepatitis B or C infection, which in the opinion of the investigator, may either put the patient at risk because of participation in the study, or influence the results of the study, or the patient’s ability to participate in the study 2.

Malignancy or neoplastic disease within the past 5 years, other than treated basal/squamous skin cancer or treated cervical cancer in situ 5. Disease history suggesting reduced or abnormal immune function 6. Any clinically relevant abnormal findings in physical examination, clinical chemistry, haematology, urinalysis, vital signs or ECG at baseline, which, in the opinion of the investigator, may put the patient at risk because of his/her participation in the study 7.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: The primary objective is to evaluate the efficacy of AZD1981 as compared with placebo in patients with moderate to severe COPD.;Secondary Objective: The secondary objectives are: • to evaluate safety and tolerability of AZD1981 in patients with moderate to severe COPD • to describe plasma exposure of AZD1981 in COPD patients Exploratory objectives are: • to collect blood samples for biomarker analysis including future analysis of biomarkers relevant to COPD and inflammation • to collect pharmacogenetic samples (optional) for possible retrospective pooled analysis.;Primary end point(s): 1. FEV1 pre-bronchodilator (change from baseline (visit 2) to end of treatment) 2. CCQ (change from baseline (visit 2) to end of treatment)
