AZ's tozorakimab delivers COPD benefit across populations in Phase 3

AstraZeneca's anti-IL-33 antibody tozorakimab posted positive Phase 3 results in COPD (Oberon and Titania), reducing the annualized rate of moderate-to-severe exacerbations versus placebo in former smokers and showing benefit across the overall population, with a favorable safety profile.
