Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Inflammatory markers

    Cytokines in BAL in pg/mL

    outcome will be assessed up to two months post initial bronchoscopy

Secondary Outcomes (2)

  • transcription factor changes

    outcome will be assessed up to two months post initial bronchoscopy

  • Lung function changes

    outcome will be assessed up to two months post initial bronchoscopy

Study Arms (2)

Azithromycin

EXPERIMENTAL

Azithromycin 250mg daily, single daily use for 8 weeks

Drug: Azithromycin

Placebo

PLACEBO COMPARATOR

Placebo daily for 8 weeks

Drug: Placebo

Interventions

We hypothesize that in patients with COPD, treatment with azithromycin will show reduced inflammatory markers, transcription factors changes, and lung function changes consistent with reduced inflammation.

Also known as: Zithromax
Azithromycin

We hypothesize that in patients with COPD, treatment with placebo will show NO change in inflammatory markers, transcription factor changes and lung function from baseline.

Placebo
