We’re going the distance in COPD research. The ZION study is now enrolling adults with COPD.

ZION is a clinical research study for adults with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). This study will test a study drug injection to learn about its safety, effectiveness, and tolerability (side effects) in participants with COPD.

Participation in the ZION study lasts about 32 weeks. Throughout the entire study, participants will continue to take their daily maintenance COPD medications.

Who can join the ZION study?

You may be able to join this study if you meet the following requirements:

  • 40 to 75 years old
  • Confirmed diagnosis of COPD for at least 12 months
  • Currently taking 2 or more inhaled daily maintenance medications for COPD

Other eligibility requirements will apply.
