Comments about company or candidate Roche plans regulatory submission in COPD in 2025 (https://assets.cwp.roche.com/f/176343/x/14b2fa29c8/irp240424.pdf) NCT05878769 Phase 3 study in COPD started in June 2023. Listed as Phase 3 in Roche Q1 2023 update. NCT05595642 Phase 2/3 ARNASA study in COPD started in Dec 2022. April 2021: Roche has cut a series of experimental lung drugs from its pipeline, including two midstage COVID-19 assets. The first drug, an Amgen-licensed anti-ST2 antibody known as astegolimab (aka RG6149), works by stopping the binding of IL-33 to ST2. This has already flopped in asthma, like so many other IL-33s, but the Swiss giant thought it could help COVID patients with pneumonia. The trial was started last year and was slated to end in January; presumably, the results were not good, as Roche said in its first-quarter results presentation (PDF) today that it has been “removed from phase 2.” NCT04386616 Phase 2 study in COVID-19 pneumonia not yet recruiting when posted on May 13, 2020. Listed as Phase 2 in Roche pipeline dated July 25, 2019. NCT02918019 Phase 2 study started in Sep 2016 completed in July 2019. NCT03615040 Phase 2 study in COPD exacerbation started recruiting in Oct 2018. Listed as advanced to Phase 2 in Roche pipeline dated Oct 2, 2016. Jan 2016: Genentech plans to run Phase II trials of the antibody to treat asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), but did not provide a timeline. NCT01928368 recruiting as of Oct 2013
