Copd Exacerbations

Sodium-glucose cotransporter 2, or SGLT2, inhibitors and glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists lowered the risk for COPD exacerbation in adults with the disease and type 2 diabetes, researchers reported.

Receiving itepekimab led to a 51% lower adjusted annualized exacerbation rate in former smokers with moderate/severe COPD and exacerbation history, according to a poster presented at the European Respiratory Society International Congress.
