Study Summary

Was to evaluate the safety, tolerability and efficacy of multiple doses of canakinumab (ACZ885) vs. placebo when administered via intravenous infusion (IV), on pulmonary function in patients with COPD

Primary Outcome

Forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1) is the amount of air that can be exhaled in one second. FEV1 was measured by spirometry performed at approximately the same time of day on each visit to avoid diurnal variation. All spirometry calibrations and evaluations followed the recommendations of the American Thoracic Society / European Respiratory Society guidelines for acceptability. A positive change from baseline in FEV1 indicates improvement in lung function.

Interventions

  • DRUG Placebo
  • DRUG Canakinumab
