This study will assess preliminary parameters of safety and efficacy of a single dose of BCT197 in patients with a Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) exacerbation.
This was an exploratory, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled, multicenter, adaptive parallel-group design study in four parts in patients with acute COPD exacerbation. In Part I, patients were randomized to receive either a single dose of 75mg BCT197, placebo or 40 mg oral prednisone in the ratio of 1:1:1. In Part II patients were randomized to receive either a single dose of 20 mg BCT197 or placebo in the ratio of 5:1. Patients in Parts I and II received their single dose on Day 1 of the study. In Parts III and IV patients were randomized to receive either BCT197 or placebo in a ratio of 5:1 at a dose of 20mg (Part III) or 75 mg (Part IV) with patients receiving a single dose on both Day 1 and Day 6 of the study.

Rolling Average Improvement From Day 1 to Day 29 Using the EXACT-PRO 14 Point Patient Reported Outcome Measure: EXACT-PRO
EXAcerbations of Chronic pulmonary disease tool patient reported outcome (EXACT-PRO) Rolling Average Improvement from Day 1 to Day 29. EXACT-PRO is a 14 point patient reported daily diary used to quantify and measure exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Minimum score is 0 and Maximum score is 14 (higher scores indicate worsening indicative of an exacerbation). Reported value is LS mean improvement from at Day 29 compared to D1 of the study.
Time frame: Up to Day 29
