Study Summary

This trial will measure how well different forms of orally inhaled BGF treatment work for people with COPD over a period of 15-16 weeks. Participants will have regular in-clinic visits and use rescue SABA during the study.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults aged 40-80 with COPD who have smoked at least the equivalent of 10 pack-years. They must be able to perform proper inhaler and breathing test techniques, have a certain blood cell count and lung function level, and either not be able to bear children or use effective birth control. People can't join if they've had asthma, recent drug/alcohol abuse, certain heart conditions, other respiratory disorders, or are pregnant.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests whether BGF medication using a new propellant (HFO) works as well as the approved version with an older propellant (HFA) in improving lung function for COPD patients. Participants will try both versions and a placebo during different periods over about 15-16 weeks while attending regular clinic visits.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Possible side effects include typical reactions to inhaled medications like throat irritation or dry mouth; however specific side effects related to BGF MDI HFO versus BGF MDI HFA haven't been provided but may align with common COPD treatment reactions.
