Eligibility Criteria

Age30 Years - 75 Years
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • Sign an informed consent form before the study and fully understand the content, process, and potential adverse reactions of the experiment;
  • Capable of using the study nebulizer correctly and complying with all study restrictions and procedures;
  • Aged between 30 and 75 years old (Including critical values), both men and women;
  • Body mass index(BMI) within the range of 18-30 kg/m2 (Including critical values);
  • The subject has no pregnancy plan and voluntarily adopts effective contraceptive measures for at least one month from screening until the last use of the study drug;
  • Diagnosed as a COPD patient according to the Global initiative for chronic obstructive lung disease (GOLD) 2023 standard, and had symptoms that met COPD for at least 1 year before screening;
  • Able to conduct acceptable and repeatable lung function measurements;
  • Clinical stability of COPD within 4 weeks before screening visit (V1) and between V1 visit and V2 visit;
  • Long acting Bronchiectasis or short acting Bronchiectasis were not regularly used at least 14 days before screening visit (V1);
  • Long acting Bronchiectasis can be stopped during the study until the end of the study, and short acting Bronchiectasis can be stopped at least 6 hours before the pulmonary function test;
  • Meet the restrictions on combination medication and expect to maintain the restrictions during treatment;
  • Current smoking or smoking history ≥ 10 pack years (smoking at least 20 cigarettes per day for 10 consecutive years or smoking at least 10 cigarettes per day for 20 consecutive years, former cigarette smokers must stop smoking\>6 months before visit 1).

You may not qualify if:

  • A history of life-threatening COPD, including hospitalization in an intensive care unit and/or the need for intubation.
  • Acute exacerbations of COPD requiring oral or parenteral steroid treatment within 3 months before screening (V1) or before randomization (V2).
  • Received inhaled corticosteroids (ICS) treatment within 4 weeks prior to screening.
  • Have a history of hospitalization for COPD at least once within 6 months prior to screening.
  • Antibiotic treatment for upper and/or lower respiratory tract infection within 6 weeks before screening or before randomized visit (V2). Note: Patients with a history of upper/lower respiratory tract infection within 6 weeks cannot participate in the test, but can be re-screened 6 weeks after the infection is cured.
  • COVID-19:
  • Suspected or confirmed COVID-19 infection during screening (V1), confirmed by the laboratory or based on the medical judgment of the researcher; Subjects who are known to have contact with COVID-19 positive patients. Note: Subjects should remain Asymptomatic for 14 days or more after exposure, and only after being approved by the investigator can they be re-screened.
  • Known COVID-19 infection history within 4 weeks before screening (V1);
  • Known medical history of hospitalization due to COVID-19 within 3 months before screening (V1);
  • Subjects who had COVID-19 infection before screening (V1) and had not fully recovered to participate in clinical trial operations.
  • Suffering from other respiratory diseases simultaneously: α- 1. Antitrypsin deficiency, primary ciliary dyskinesia, lung cancer; Respiratory diseases such as active pulmonary infection, pulmonary tuberculosis, Bronchiectasis, Pulmonary fibrosis, pulmonary Sarcoidosis, pulmonary hypertension, etc. with significant clinical significance assessed by the researchers.
  • Chest computed tomography (CT) has found clinically significant abnormalities and believes that the abnormalities are not caused by COPD, and the researchers have determined that they have an impact on the trial results or patient safety. If there is no chest CT report within 3 months before visit 1, a chest CT examination must be performed on visit 1.
  • Previously underwent pneumonectomy or lung reduction surgery.
  • Previously received lung rehabilitation treatment (those who have been stable for 4 weeks before screening and have remained stable during the trial period can be selected).
  • Received oral steroids or roflumilast treatment for COPD within 3 months before screening (Visit 1), or received oral theophylline and/or theophylline derivatives treatment for COPD within 1 months before screening (V1).
