<h3>Background</h3>Tezepelumab is a human monoclonal antibody that blocks thymic stromal lymphopoietin, which has shown increased expression in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) compared with healthy individuals. We aimed to assess the efficacy and safety of tezepelumab in patients with moderate to very severe COPD despite receiving triple inhaled therapy.<h3>Methods</h3>COURSE was a double-blind, randomised, placebo-controlled, phase 2a trial across 90 sites in ten countries in Asia, Europe, and North America. Eligible participants were aged 40–80 years, had moderate to very severe airflow limitation, were receiving triple inhaled maintenance therapy, and had at least two moderate to severe COPD exacerbations in the 12 months before enrolment. Patients were randomly assigned (1:1) to receive tezepelumab 420 mg or placebo subcutaneously every 4 weeks for up to 52 weeks. Randomisation was stratified by geographical region and by number of exacerbations in the 12 months before enrolment. Participants, investigators, site staff, and the study sponsor were masked to treatment assignment. The primary endpoint was the annualised rate of moderate or severe COPD exacerbations over 52 weeks. A prespecified subgroup analysis assessed the primary endpoint in patients grouped by baseline blood eosinophil counts (BECs). Efficacy and safety were assessed in all patients who received at least one dose of study drug.

The annualised rate of moderate or severe COPD exacerbations over 52 weeks was 1·75 for tezepelumab versus 2·11 for placebo (rate ratio 0·83 [90% CI 0·64–1·06]; p=0·10 [one-sided]; the primary endpoint was not met). In prespecified subgroup analyses, the annualised rate of moderate or severe COPD exacerbations over 52 weeks was 2·04 with tezepelumab versus 1·71 with placebo (rate ratio 1·19 [95% CI 0·75–1·90]) in patients with a baseline BEC of less than 150 cells per μL, 1·64 versus 2·47 (0·66 [0·42–1·04]) in patients with a baseline BEC of 150 cells per μL to less than 300 cells per μL, and 1·20 versus 2·24 (0·54 [0·25–1·15]) in patients with a baseline BEC of 300 cells per μL or higher. Adverse events occurred in 133 (81%)

Digital technologies (eg, smart inhalers, wearables, and sensors) allow for remote, objective, granular, and non-invasive data collection, making them attractive for research evaluating interventions in airways diseases with variable trajectories, such as asthma. Such technologies offer the opportunity to move towards decentralised clinical trials that are done partly or fully outside the classic clinical trial setting and are characterised by remote data collection and monitoring. This approach to evaluating clinical, pharmacological, or behavioural interventions could facilitate recruitment of inclusive and generalisable study populations, enhance personalisation and sustainability, reduce research costs, and accelerate the timeline to novel asthma treatments' market access. This Personal View discusses the application of digital technologies and endpoints within trials; the concept of hybrid and decentralised designs; describes a fully decentralised trial in asthma; and explores the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats regarding their implementation from the clinician, patient expert, low-resource, and regulator viewpoints.
