Participant Flow
Recruitment Details | Participants with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) with frequent exacerbations, on high dose inhaled corticosteroid (ICS)-based triple inhaled maintenance therapy were included. Participants were randomized to receive mepolizumab (100 or 300 milligrams [mg]) or placebo by subcutaneous (SC) injection every 4 weeks for up to 52 weeks. |
Pre-assignment Details | A total of 674 participants were randomized and received at least one dose of study treatment and were included in the modified intent to treat (mITT) population. One participant randomized to the mepolizumab 300 mg group was withdrawn without receiving study treatment. |
