A Randomised, Double-blind, Multi-centre, Placebo-controlled, Crossover Study to Assess the Effect of Budesonide/Glycopyrronium/Formoterol Fumarate Metered Dose Inhaler on Cardiac and Lung Function in Participants With Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease and Hyperinflation


Sponsor

AstraZeneca

Enrollment

56 participants

Start Date

Nov 24, 2025

Study Type

INTERVENTIONAL

Conditions

Summary

The purpose of the study is to evaluate the effect of BGF MDI compared with placebo MDI on cardiac and lung function when administered in participants diagnosed with COPD and hyperinflation.


Eligibility

Min Age: 40 YearsMax Age: 80 Years

Inclusion Criteria10

  • Current or former smoker with a history of ≥ 10 pack-years of tobacco smoking.
  • A diagnosis of COPD confirmed by a post-bronchodilator forced expiratory volume in 1 second/forced vital capacity (FEV1/FVC) \< 0.7.
  • At Visit 1: A pre-bronchodilator FEV1 \< 80%.
  • At Visit 1: Peripheral blood eosinophil count \< 300 cells/cubic millimeter (mm³), with no recorded history of eosinophil count \> 300 cells/mm³ in the past 12 months.
  • At Visit 1: Modified Medical Research Council (mMRC) ≥ 1.
  • At Visit 2: A pre-bronchodilator functional residual capacity (FRC) of \> 135% of predicted normal FRC.
  • At Visit 2: A post-bronchodilator FEV1 ≥ 30% and \< 80% of the predicted normal value.
  • Participants must be on mono-, dual-, or triple-inhaled maintenance COPD treatment.
  • Female participants must either be not of childbearing potential or using a form of highly effective birth control.
  • All women of child bearing potential must have a negative pregnancy test at the Visit 1.

Exclusion Criteria8

  • A current diagnosis of asthma, asthma-COPD overlap, or any other chronic respiratory disease other than COPD, such as alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency, active tuberculosis, lung cancer, lung fibrosis, sarcoidosis, interstitial lung disease, and pulmonary hypertension.
  • History of a COPD exacerbation that required hospitalisation, or 2 or more COPD exacerbations that required systemic corticosteroids.
  • History of myocardial infarction or acute coronary syndrome.
  • History or current clinically significant atrial or ventricular arrhythmia to be confirmed by electrocardiogram (ECG).
  • Participants with a cardiac implantable electronic device, including pacemaker, implantable cardioverter defibrillator, or cardiac resynchronization therapy.
  • Participants with ECG QTcF interval at Visit 1 \> 460 milliseconds (ms) for males and \> 480 ms for females.
  • Participants who have had a respiratory tract infection within 8 weeks prior to Visit 1 and/or during the screening/run-in period.
  • Participants with lung lobectomy, lung volume reduction (during the study and within 3 months of Visit 1), or lung transplantation.
