AstraZeneca said its drug tozorakimab reduced the risk of worsening COPD symptoms by about 30% in two Phase 3 trials. The therapy is a first-in-class monoclonal antibody that targets interleukin-33. The U.S. FDA has granted the drug Breakthrough Therapy designation, a step intended to speed its review. COPD remains a leading cause of death in the United States, and standard treatment is largely based on inhaled medicines.
