A Study of the Inflammatory Pathways Associated With Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease Exacerbations
An Exploratory Study of the Cellular Inflammatory Mechanisms Associated With Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease Exacerbations

The purpose of this study is to observe how the inflammatory pathways differ in subjects with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) during an acute exacerbation of COPD (AECOPD).

This is an observational study in adult male and female subjects with COPD to collect blood, endobronchial tissues and BAL to investigate the inflammatory genes/pathways associated with AECOPD at the time of exacerbation (ie, active disease) and at 6 weeks later (ie, stable disease).
