Outcomes
Primary outcome [1] 258229 0
To assess the efficacy of three dose levels (10 mg, 30 mg, and 50 mg) of SCH 527123 compared with placebo in subjects with moderate to severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), based on changes from Baseline in post-bronchodilator forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1).
Timepoint [1] 258229 0
Assessed at baseline, after 1, 2, 4, 8, 12, 16, 20 and 26 weeks of treatment and then 1 week after study treatment has stopped.
Secondary outcome [1] 263896 0
Evaluate the safety and tolerability of SCH 527123 in subjects with COPD. Asessments include vital signs, electrocardiographs (ECG), blood and urine analysis and the monitoring of adverse events such as colds, sore throat, flu, headaches, indigestion, fractured limbs, chest pain. The study doctors will question subjects on any events that may have occurred between their study visits.
Timepoint [1] 263896 0
Assessed at baseline, after 1 day of treatment, then after 1, 2, 4, 8, 12, 16, 20 and 26 weeks of treatment and then 1 week after study treatment has stopped.
Secondary outcome [2] 264029 0
Evaluate the effect of SCH 527123 on other lung function measures. Asessments include spirometry, body plethysmography and collection of induced sputum samples.
Timepoint [2] 264029 0
Assessed at baseline, after 1, 2, 4, 8, 12, 16, 20 and 26 weeks of treatment and then 1 week after study treatment has stopped.
Secondary outcome [3] 264030 0
Evaluate the effect of SCH 527123 on COPD exacerbations and symptoms. Assessment will be through the completion of a daily electronic diary.
Timepoint [3] 264030 0
Assessed at baseline, after 1, 2, 4, 8, 12, 16, 20 and 26 weeks of treatment and then 1 week after study treatment has stopped.
Secondary outcome [4] 264031 0
Evaluate the effect of SCH 527123 on activity and health-related quality of life measures. Assessment include the six minute walk test and the completion of the following questionnaires: Subject Comment Card, the St George's Respiratory Questionnaire, the Borg Scale and the Modified Medical Research Council Dyspnoea Scale.
Timepoint [4] 264031 0
Assessed at baseline then after 8 and 26 weeks of treatment.
Secondary outcome [5] 264032 0
Evaluate the effect of SCH 527123 on plasma and sputum inflammatory markers. Asessment will be through blood analysis and the collection of induced sputum samples.
Timepoint [5] 264032 0
Assessed at baseline then after 8 and 26 weeks of treatment.

Summary
Brief summary
Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is a chronic inflammatory lung disease in which airways become thick and inflamed, making it hard to breathe. Cells in the airways make more mucus than usual, which tends to obstruct the airways, contributing to cough and difficulty getting air in and out of the lungs. Chronic inflammation present in COPD is a complex response of the immune system that may occur for a long period of time and cause undesirable consequences in the body tissues and organs. Inflammation may not only damage the lungs but also affect one’s daily living activities.

Neutrophils are a type of white blood cells found in your lungs, that if increased, may cause lung damage. SCH 527123 is a new investigational drug that is intended to block the movement of neutrophils into the airways. Treatment with SCH 527123 may decrease the number of neutrophils in the airways which may lead to the improvement of lung function, COPD symptoms, COPD exacerbations and quality of life. Reducing the number of neutrophils in the airways may also prevent or delay the progression of disease as measured by the deterioration in lung function.

The primary purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of SCH 527123 in subjects with COPD.
