Type  Name  Details 
Intervention  Astegolimab (RO7187807)   Astegolimab and placebo will be supplied by the Sponsor as a sterile liquid in 2.25 mL pre-filled syringes with a needle safety device, providing 238 mg/1.7 mL of astegolimab or placebo Each dose of study drug (astegolimab or placebo) will be administered as 2 SC injections (for a total of 3.4 mL), with each injection administered on a different side of the abdomen (i.e., right or left). The treatment regimens for each arm are as follows: • Astegolimab 476 mg SC every 2 weeks (Q2W) • Astegolimab 476 mg SC every 4 weeks (Q4W) To ensure that all study participants undergo the same visit schedule, participants randomized to the Q4W dosing arm will alternate between injections of astegolimab and placebo Q2W (beginning with astegolimab on Day 1), thus receiving astegolimab Q4W. • Placebo SC Q2W The Study has a 52-week Treatment period.

Age To  80.00 Year(s)
Gender  Both 
Details  Potential participants are eligible to be included in the study only if all of the following
criteria apply:

- Able and willing to provide written informed consent and to comply with the
study protocol

- Age 40-80 years at Visit 1

- Documented COPD diagnosis for more than or equal to 12 months prior to Visit 1

- History of frequent exacerbations, defined as having had 2 or more moderate or
severe COPD exacerbations within 12 months prior to Visit 1
- A moderate COPD exacerbation is defined as new or increased COPD symptoms (e.g., dyspnea, sputum volume, and sputum purulence) that lead totreatment with systemic corticosteroids (oral, IV, or intramuscular [IM]) and/or antibiotics.

-Prior use of antibiotics alone does not qualify as a moderate exacerbation,
unless the use was specifically for the treatment of worsening symptoms of COPD.

-A severe COPD exacerbation is defined as new or increased COPD symptoms that lead to hospitalization (duration more than 24 hours) or lead to death.

- Post-bronchodilator FEV1 more than or equal to 20% and less than 80% of predicted at Visit 1 or Visit 2

- Post-bronchodilator FEV1/FVC less than 0.70 at Visit 1 or Visit 2

- mMRC score more than or equal to 2 at screening

- Current tobacco smoker (see definition in Section 8.2.2) or former smoker (having
stopped smoking for at least 6 months prior to Visit 1) with a history of smoking more than or equal to 10 pack-years (e.g., 20 cigarettes/day for 10 years)

- At Visit 1, participants who meet the protocol definition of current smoker will receive smoking cessation counseling (see Section 8.2.2)

- On optimized COPD maintenance therapy as defined below for more than or equal to 12 months prior to
Visit 1.

– Inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) plus long-acting beta-agonist (LABA)

– Long-acting muscarinic antagonist (LAMA) plus LABA

– ICS plus LAMA plus LABA

Participants must be stable on current medications and doses for at least 4 weeks
prior to Visit 1.

Initiation of new COPD therapy, including a methylxanthine preparation,
maintenance macrolide therapy, and/or phosphodiesterase 4 (PDE4) inhibitor is not
permitted within 4 weeks prior to Visit 1.

- Chest X-ray or computed tomography (CT) scan within 6 months prior to Visit 1 or
chest X-ray during the screening period (prior to Visit 2) that confirms the absence
of clinically significant lung disease besides COPD

Demonstrated ability to use and comply with electronic diary (eDiary) requirements,
defined as completion of all questions on at least 5 of 7 days prior to Visit 2

Participants unable to demonstrate compliance with the eDiary during the
screening period will be screen failed. Participants will have the opportunity to
demonstrate eDiary compliance if re-screened (see Section 8.3.3.3).

- For female participants of childbearing potential: agreement to remain abstinent
(refrain from heterosexual intercourse) or use contraception, as defined below:

Female participants must remain abstinent or use contraceptive methods with a
failure rate of less than 1% per year during the treatment period and for 12 weeks after
the final dose of astegolimab.

A female participant is considered to be of childbearing potential if she is
postmenarchal, has not reached a postmenopausal state (more than or equal to 12 continuous
months of amenorrhea with no identified cause other than menopause), and is
not permanently infertile due to surgery (i.e., removal of ovaries, fallopian tubes,
and/or uterus) or another cause as determined by the investigator
(e.g., Müllerian agenesis). Per this definition, a female participant with a tubal
ligation is considered to be of childbearing potential. The definition of
childbearing potential may be adapted for alignment with local guidelines
or regulations.
Examples of contraceptive methods with a failure rate of less than 1% per year include
bilateral tubal ligation, male sterilization, hormonal contraceptives that inhibit
ovulation, hormone-releasing intrauterine devices, and copper intrauterine
devices.
The reliability of sexual abstinence should be evaluated in relation to the
duration of the clinical trial and the preferred and usual lifestyle of the individual.
Periodic abstinence (e.g., calendar, ovulation, symptothermal, or postovulation
methods) and withdrawal are not adequate methods of contraception.
If required per local guidelines or regulations, locally recognized adequate
methods of contraception and information about the reliability of abstinence will
be described in the local Informed Consent Form.

For male participants: agreement to remain abstinent (refrain from heterosexual
intercourse) or use a condom, and agree to refrain from donating sperm, as
defined below:

With a female partner of childbearing potential or pregnant female partner, male
participants must remain abstinent or use a condom during the treatment period
and for 12 weeks after the final dose of astegolimab to avoid exposing the
embryo. Male participants must refrain from donating sperm during this
same period.

The reliability of sexual abstinence should be evaluated in relation to the
duration of the clinical trial and the preferred and usual lifestyle of the individual.
Periodic abstinence (e.g., calendar, ovulation, symptothermal, or postovulation
methods) and withdrawal are not adequate methods of preventing drug
exposure. If required per local guidelines or regulations, information about the
reliability of abstinence will be described in the local Informed Consent Form.

For participants enrolled in the extended China enrollment phase at China’s sites:
must be current residents of mainland China, Hong Kong, or Taiwan, and of
Chinese ancestry.

Brief Summary  
This is a Phase III, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multicenter study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of astegolimab in combination with standard of care (SOC) compared with placebo in combination with SOC, in participants with COPD who are former or current smokers and have a history of frequent exacerbations.  Approximately 1290 participants with COPD are expected to be enrolled globally.
Following a screening period of at least 7 days and to up to 4 weeks, participants will be randomized in a 1:1:1 ratio to 1 of 3 treatment arms to receive blinded treatment with either astegolimab or placebo.  Randomization will be stratified by smoking status at screening (former smoker vs. current smoker) and region. The first dose of study drug (astegolimab or placebo) will be administered on Day 1; treatment
will continue through Week 50, followed by a 12-week safety follow-up period.
