Phase 2 COURSE study just presented at #ATS2024 by Dave Singh @OfficialUoM: tezepelumab did not significantly reduce #COPD exacerbations overall, but trends suggested greater benefits in those with higher Th2 inflammation. Suggests phase 3 study should target this population.

🚨@US_FDA stresses at the #ATS2024 session - there is NO technology/device cleared by the agency for counting coughs. The VitaloJAK system mentioned in the presentation is only cleared for audio recording, and NOT for cough counting.

BICS trial just presented at #ATS2024 by @doclip1 and published @JAMA_current: bisoprolol did not reduce exacerbations in GOLD E #COPD, but did not cause harm either. We should give beta blockers to COPD patients with cardiovascular indications but it won’t help their COPD
