Eligibility
Key inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria :

- Participants with a diagnosis of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) for at
least 1 year (based on Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease [GOLD]
definition).

- Participants with moderate-to-severe COPD (post-bronchodilator forced expiratory
volume in 1 second [FEV1]/forced vital capacity [FVC] less than [<] 70 percent (%) and
post-bronchodilator FEV1% predicted <80%, but greater than equal to [>=] 30%).

- Participants with COPD assessment test (CAT) score >=10 at Screening.

- Participants with reported history of signs and symptoms of chronic bronchitis
(chronic productive cough for 3 months in the year up to screening in a participant in
whom other causes of chronic cough [e.g., gastroesophageal reflux, chronic
rhinosinusitis, bronchiectasis] had been excluded).

- Participants with a documented history (e.g., medical record verification) of >=2
moderate exacerbations or >=1 severe exacerbation within the year prior to screening.
A moderate exacerbation was defined as an acute exacerbation of COPD (AECOPD)
requiring systemic corticosteroids (oral, intravenous, or intramuscular) and/or
treatment with antibiotics (however, use of antibiotics alone does not qualify as a
"moderate exacerbation" unless documentation was available that use of antibiotics was
necessary for treatment of worsening symptoms of COPD). A severe exacerbation was
defined as an AECOPD that required a hospitalization.

- Participants with standard of care background therapy, for 3 months and at a stable
dose for at least 1 month, including either:

- Double therapy: Long acting beta agonist (LABA) + Long acting muscarinic agonist
(LAMA) or inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) + LABA or ICS + LAMA.

or

- Triple therapy: LABA + LAMA + ICS.

- Current or former smokers with a smoking history of >=10 packs/year.
Minimum age
40 Years
Maximum age
75 Years
Sex
Both males and females
Can healthy volunteers participate?
No
Key exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria:

- Concomitant severe diseases or diseases for which the use of ICS (e.g., active
pulmonary tuberculosis, etc.) or LABA were contraindicated (e.g., diagnosis of a
history of significant cardiovascular diseases, insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus,
hyperthyroidism, thyrotoxicosis, pheochromocytoma, hypokalemia).

- Use of injectable glucocorticosteroids or oral systemic glucocorticosteroids within
previous 1 month or more than 4 courses of intravenous glucocorticosteroids within the
previous 6 months.

- Participants with bronchial thermoplasty procedure (up to 3 years prior to Visit 1).

- A current diagnosis of asthma according to the Global Initiative for Asthma (GINA)
guidelines.

- Significant pulmonary disease other than COPD (e.g., lung fibrosis, sarcoidosis,
interstitial lung disease, pulmonary hypertension, bronchiectasis, eosinophilic
granulomatosis with polyangiitis, significant sleep apnea on Bilevel Positive Airway
Pressure, etc.) or another diagnosed pulmonary or systemic disease associated with
elevated peripheral eosinophil counts.

- Diagnosis of a-1 anti-trypsin deficiency.

- Advanced COPD with need for chronic (greater than [>] 15 hours/day) oxygen support.

- Participant with a moderate or severe acute exacerbation of COPD event within previous
4 weeks.

- A participant who has experienced an upper or lower respiratory tract infection within
previous 4 weeks.

- Prior history of or planned pneumonectomy or lung volume reduction surgery.

Summary
Brief summary
Primary Objective:

To investigate effects of SAR440340 (anti-interleukin-33 [IL-33] monoclonal antibody [mAb])
compared with placebo, on the annualized rate of moderate-to-severe acute exacerbations of
COPD (AECOPD) over up to 52 weeks of treatment.

- Moderate exacerbations were recorded by the Investigator and defined as AECOPD that
require either systemic corticosteroids (such as intramuscular, intravenous or oral)
and/or antibiotics.

- Severe exacerbations were recorded by the Investigator and defined as AECOPD requiring
hospitalization, emergency medical care visit or resulting in death.

Secondary Objectives:

To investigate effects of SAR440340 compared with placebo, on improving respiratory function,
as assessed by pre-bronchodilator forced exploratory volume in 1 second (FEV1).

To evaluate effects of SAR440340 compared with placebo, on post-bronchodilator FEV1.

To evaluate effects of SAR440340 compared with placebo, on duration from baseline to first
moderate or severe AECOPD event.

To evaluate effects of SAR440340 compared with placebo, on safety and tolerability.
