  • Any other reason that the Investigator considers makes the patient unsuitable to participate.

About this study

Brief Summary: The purpose of this study is to to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Cavosonstat administered twice daily compared with Placebo for 24 Weeks in adult subjects with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)

Detailed Description:To investigate the effect of cavosonstat compared with placebo, on the annualized rate of moderate-to-severe acute exacerbations of COPD (AECOPD) over 24 weeks of treatment.

To investigate:

  1. The effect of cavosonstat compared with placebo, on the duration from baseline to first moderate AECOPD event
  2. The effect of cavosonstat compared with placebo, on respiratory function, as assessed by post-bronchodilator percent-predicted forced expiratory volume in one second (ppFEV1)
  3. The effect of cavosonstat compared with placebo on annualized rate of moderate AECOPD over 24 weeks of treatment
  4. The effect of cavosonstat compared with placebo on annualized rate of severe AECOPD over 24 weeks of treatment
  5. The safety and tolerability of cavosonstat compared with placebo
  6. The pharmacokinetics of cavosonstat
  7. Assessment of quality of life
Being tested
placebo, Cavosonstat 5 mg, Cavosonstat 10 mg, Cavosonstat 25 mg
Medical subject headings
Pulmonary Disease, Chronic Obstructive

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Cavosonstat 5 mg, Cavosonstat 10 mg and Cavosonstat 25 mg in people with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), run by GSNOR Therapeutics, Inc..

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 18 inclusion and 21 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 23 Oct 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Annualized rate of moderate-to-severe acute exacerbations of COPD (time frame: 24 weeks). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 23 Oct 2020.
