About this study
Official title: A Phase III, Multicentre, Randomised, Double-blind, Chronic-dosing, Parallel-group, Placebo-controlled Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of Tozorakimab in Participants With Symptomatic Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) With a History of COPD Exacerbations (MIRANDA)
The purpose of this Phase III study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of tozorakimab administered subcutaneously (SC) in adult participants with symptomatic COPD with a history of ≥ 2 moderate or ≥ 1 severe exacerbations of COPD in the 12 months prior to enrolment. Participants should be receiving optimised treatment with inhaled maintenance therapy (ICS/LABA/LAMA triple therapy, or dual therapy if triple is not considered appropriate) throughout at least the last 3 months prior to enrolment.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
PlaceboDrug
Placebo administered subcutaneously, equivalent volume to tozorakimab throughout the study.
TozorakimabDrug
Administered subcutaneously tozorakimab and placebo throughout the study.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Annualized rate of moderate to severe COPD exacerbations in participants who are former smokers.
The primary endpoint will be assessed in the primary population (former smokers with symptomatic COPD and a history of exacerbations, on optimised treatment with maintenance inhaled therapy [triple therapy, or dual therapy if triple is not considered appropriate]).
Measured: Over 52 weeks
Secondary outcomes (26)
Annualized rate of moderate to severe COPD exacerbations in former or current smokers.
The annualized rate will be assessed in the overall population of participants including current and former smokers with symptomatic COPD and history of exacerbations, on optimised treatment with maintenance inhaled therapy.
Measured: Over 52 weeks

Clinical summary
The research question as the sponsor registered it. This describes what the study plans to test, not what it found.
The purpose of this Phase III study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of tozorakimab administered subcutaneously (SC) in adult participants with symptomatic COPD with a history of ≥ 2 moderate or ≥ 1 severe exacerbations of COPD in the 12 months prior to enrolment. Participants should be receiving optimised treatment with inhaled maintenance therapy (ICS/LABA/LAMA triple therapy, or dual therapy if triple is not considered appropriate) throughout at least the last 3 months prior to enrolment.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 3 study testing Tozorakimab in people with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), run by AstraZeneca at 368 sites in 29 countries.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 7 inclusion and 20 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 24 Jul 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 368 sites in United States, China, Japan, Germany, Argentina and 24 more countries. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
What does this phase mean?
Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.
Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.
Are results available for this study?
The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Annualized rate of moderate to severe COPD exacerbations in participants who are former smokers. (time frame: Over 52 weeks). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT06040086, which also lists 1 linked publication.
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 24 Jul 2026.
