Late Breaking Abstract - First-time assessment of efficacy of candidate vaccine to prevent acute exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AECOPD): multicentre, randomised, controlled, observer-blind phase 2b trial
Conclusions: NTHi-Mcat vaccine administered to patients with COPD was immunogenic but did not reduce the yearly rate of moderate/severe exacerbations. No safety concerns were identified. There were fewer reports of COPD leading to hospitalisation in the vaccine group.Funding: GSK (Source: European Respiratory Journal)
