Study Summary

This is a multi-center, randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind, parallel group study designed to confirm the benefits of mepolizumab treatment on moderate or severe exacerbations in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) participants given as an add on to their optimized maintenance COPD therapy. The maximum duration of participant participation is approximately 109 weeks, consisting of 2 screening visits (up to 3 weeks), a run-in period (up to 2 weeks), and an intervention period of at least 52 weeks and up to 104 weeks. 800 participants will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to receive mepolizumab 100 milligrams (mg) or placebo every 4 weeks for at least 13 doses (52 weeks treatment period) up to a maximum of 26 doses (104 weeks treatment period). The number of randomized participants may increase up to approximately 1400.

Primary Outcome

Annualized rate of moderate or severe exacerbations were assessed. Moderate exacerbations are defined as clinically significant exacerbations that require treatment with oral or systemic corticosteroids and/or antibiotics. Severe exacerbations are defined per protocol as clinically significant exacerbations that require in-patient hospitalization (that is greater than or equal to \[\>=\] 24 hours) or result in death.
