About this study
Official title: A Double-blinded Extension Study to Evaluate the Long-term Safety and Tolerability of Itepekimab in Patients With Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) Who Participated in Either EFC16750 or EFC16819 Clinical Studies
This is a parallel, double blind, Phase 3, 2-arm study that is designed to provide additional safety information, assess the durability of treatment response, and provide additional PK and immunogenicity assessments.
The primary purpose of this study is to evaluate safety and tolerability of both itepekimab SC Q2W or itepekimab SC Q4W in participants with COPD having completed the treatment period of the clinical studies EFC16750 or EFC16819. A secondary purpose of this study is to provide efficacy outcomes beyond the treatment period of the parent trials EFC16750 and EFC16819.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Incidence of treatment-emergent AEs, AESIs, SAEs, and AEs leading to permanent treatment discontinuation
All AEs (serious or nonserious) will be collected from the signing of the informed consent form (ICF) until the end of study visit
Measured: Baseline up to Week 72
Secondary outcomes (11)
Functional itepekimab concentrations in serum
Measured: Baseline up to Week 52
Incidence of treatment-emergent (TE) anti-drug antibody responses
Measured: Baseline up to Week 72
Annualized rate of moderate-to-severe acute exacerbation of COPD (AECOPD)
Measured: Baseline up to Week 52
Annualized rate of severe AECOPD
Measured: Baseline up to Week 52
Time to first moderate-to-severe AECOPD
Measured: Baseline up to Week 52
Time to first severe AECOPD
Measured: Baseline up to Week 52
Change from baseline of the parent studies (EFC16750, EFC16819): Pre-BD and post-BD FEV1
FEV1 is force expiratory volume in 1 second
Measured: Baseline of the parent studies (EFC16750,EFC16819) up to Week 52
Change from baseline of the parent studies (EFC16750, EFC16819): SGRQ total score and domain scores

Clinical summary
The research question as the sponsor registered it. This describes what the study plans to test, not what it found.
This is a parallel, double blind, Phase 3, 2-arm study that is designed to provide additional safety information, assess the durability of treatment response, and provide additional PK and immunogenicity assessments.
The primary purpose of this study is to evaluate safety and tolerability of both itepekimab SC Q2W or itepekimab SC Q4W in participants with COPD having completed the treatment period of the clinical studies EFC16750 or EFC16819. A secondary purpose of this study is to provide efficacy outcomes beyond the treatment period of the parent trials EFC16750 and EFC16819.
Study details include:
- The study duration will be up to 72 weeks
- The treatment duration will be up to 52 weeks
- A follow-up period of 20 weeks will be conducted
- The number of on-site visits will be 7 and the number of phone contacts will be 5

- Any opportunistic infection during the parent study, such as tuberculosis (TB) or other infections whose nature or course may suggest an immunocompromised status
- Anaphylactic reactions or systemic allergic reactions that are related to IMP and require treatment during the parent study
- Any situation that led to a permanent premature IMP discontinuation in parent trials
- The above information is not intended to contain all considerations relevant to a patient's potential participation in a clinical trial.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 3 study testing Itepekimab (SAR440340) in people with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease, run by Sanofi at 223 sites in 32 countries.
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 1 inclusion and 5 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 18 Sep 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 223 sites in United States, China, Brazil, Argentina, Bulgaria and 27 more countries. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. 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 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.
Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.
Are results available for this study?
The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.
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?
Incidence of treatment-emergent AEs, AESIs, SAEs, and AEs leading to permanent treatment discontinuation (time frame: Baseline up to Week 72). 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 18 Sep 2026.
