What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Annualized Rate of Moderate or Severe Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) Acute Exacerbations

    Annualized rate of moderate or severe acute exacerbation of COPD (AECOPD) over the placebo-controlled treatment period.

    Measured: week 24-52

Secondary outcomes (21)
  1. Change from baseline in pre-bronchodilator forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1) at each evaluation time point

    FEV1 is the volume of air exhaled in the first second of a forced expiration as measured by spirometer. Change from baseline in FEV1 taken before bronchodilator use will be reported.

    Measured: week 16-24

  2. Change from baseline in pre-bronchodilator forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1) at each evaluation time point

    FEV1 is the volume of air exhaled in the first second of a forced expiration as measured by spirometer. Change from baseline in FEV1 taken before bronchodilator use will be reported.

    Measured: week 24-52

  3. Change from baseline in post-bronchodilator forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1) at each evaluation time point

    FEV1 is the volume of air exhaled in the first second of a forced expiration as measured by spirometer. Change from baseline in FEV1 taken after bronchodilator use will be reported.

    Measured: week 24-52

  4. Change from baseline in Pre-bronchodilator Forced vital capacity (FVC) at each evaluation time point

    Change from baseline in forced vital capacity taken before bronchodilator use will be reported. FVC is measured by spirometer.

    Measured: week 24-52

  5. Change from baseline in forced expiratory flow (FEF) at 25%-75% at each evaluation time point

    FEF is measured by spirometer.

    Measured: week 24-52

  6. Time to the first onset of Moderate or Severe Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) Acute Exacerbations

    Time to first moderate or severe AECOPD over the placebo-controlled treatment period.

    Measured: week 24-52

  9. Change from baseline in Saint (St.) George's Respiratory Questionnaire (SGRQ) Total Score at each evaluation time point

    The SGRQ is a 50-item questionnaire designed to measure and quantify health status in adult participants with chronic airflow limitation. A global score ranges from 0 to 100. Scores by dimension are calculated for 3 domains: Symptoms, Activity and Impacts (Psycho-social) as well as a total score. A lower score indicates better quality of life.

    Measured: week 24-52

  10. Proportion of participants with an SGRQ Score improvement of ≥4 points from baseline at each evaluation time point.

    Proportion of participants achieving a clinically meaningful improvement from baseline in SGRQ total score (4-point score decrease) will be reported.

    Measured: week 24-52

  11. Change from baseline in COPD assessment test (CAT) Total Score at each evaluation time point

    CAT is an 8-item PRO that measures the impact of COPD on the health status of patients with COPD. The CAT has a scoring range of 0-40 with higher scores indicative of greater COPD impact on health status.

    Measured: week 24-52

  12. Proportion of participants with an CAT Score improvement of ≥2 points from baseline at each evaluation time point

    Proportion of participants achieving a clinically meaningful improvement from baseline in CAT total score (2-point score decrease) will be reported.

    Measured: week 24-52

  13. Change from baseline in Evaluating Respiratory Symptoms (E-RS) total score at each evaluation time point

    The E-RS: COPD is administered as a part of the 14-item EXACT questionnaire and is completed on a daily basis. The 11-item E-RS:COPD assesses severity of respiratory symptoms overall and severity of individual symptoms such as breathlessness, cough and sputum, and chest symptoms The total score of E-RS:COPD ranges from 0 to 40, with higher values indicating more severe respiratory symptoms.

    Measured: week 24-52

  14. Proportion of participants with an E-RS Score improvement of ≥2 points from baseline at each evaluation time point

    Proportion of participants achieving a clinically meaningful improvement from baseline in E-RS total score (2-point score decrease) will be reported.

    Measured: week 24-52

  15. Incidence of Adverse events (AEs)/treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) in

    The severity of adverse events is recorded using the National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (NCI-CTCAE), version 6.0. The incidence of participants with adverse events (AE) will be calculated.

    Measured: week 64

  16. Blood drug concentration Pharmacokinetic profile of CM326

    Measured: week 64

  17. Pharmacodynamics profile of CM326 Change from baseline fractional exhaled nitric oxide (FeNO)

    Evaluate the changes from baseline in FeNO at each visit point.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing CM326 dose 1 and CM326 dose 2 in people with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease, run by CSPC ZhongQi Pharmaceutical Technology Co., Ltd. at 1 site in China.

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 11 inclusion and 31 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: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 18 Feb 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in China. 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. 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?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

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

Contact Clinical Trials Information Group officer (031169085587, ctr-contact@cspc.cn), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Annualized Rate of Moderate or Severe Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) Acute Exacerbations (time frame: week 24-52). 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 Feb 2026.
