Trial Comparing the Safety and Efficacy of Two Different Oral VPV Doses With Placebo as Treatment for RV in Participants With COPD

Testing two oral VPV doses versus placebo for COPD-related RV.

Recruiting
40-85 years
All
Phase 2

This study aims to compare the safety and effectiveness of vapendavir, a medicine taken by mouth, for treating RV (rhinovirus) in people with COPD (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease). COPD is a lung disease that makes it hard to breathe, causing symptoms like coughing and shortness of breath. Participants will help researchers find the best dose of vapendavir to reduce symptoms. A placebo, which is a harmless pill with no medicine, will also be used for comparison.

To join, you need to be between 40-85 years old, already diagnosed with COPD, and have experienced COPD flare-ups. You should be able to use a mobile app, do nasal swabs at home, and interact with people regularly without a mask. You will need to use effective birth control during the study if you are of child-bearing age. If you're currently taking COPD medicine, it should be stable for at least 2 months.

  • Study requires use of a mobile app for daily updates.
  • Participants must be able to interact socially at least twice a week.
  • Stable medication use is necessary before joining the study.
