MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: To compare the effects of AZD7624 vs. placebo on the time to first event of moderate or severe COPD exacerbation or early drop-out related to worsening of COPD symptoms (i.e. composite endpoint referred to as “ExDo”) in patients with COPD on maintenance treatment with at least ICS/LABA.;Secondary Objective: To compare the effects of AZD7624 vs. placebo as add-on to COPD maintenance treatment with at least ICS/LABA in patients with COPD on: -Number of moderate and severe COPD exacerbations and early drop-outs related to worsening of COPD symptoms -Time to first event of moderate or severe COPD exacerbations or early drop-out (including drop-outs due to any cause) -Number of moderate and severe COPD exacerbations and early drop-outs (including drop-outs due to any cause) -Time to first and number of moderate or severe exacerbations -Time to first and number of symptom defined exacerbations -Pulmonary function measured as changes from baseline in trough FEV1, FVC and FEV1/FVC -Health related quality of life -Dyspnea To evaluate the pharmacokinetic profile of AZD7624 in patients with COPD on maintenance treatment with at least ICS/LABA. To evaluate the safety and tolerability of AZD7624 vs. placebo in patients with COPD on maintenance treatment with at least ICS/LABA.;Primary end point(s): Time to first event of moderate or severe COPD exacerbation or early drop-out ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Throughout study treatment period (12 weeks treatment)
