Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) often involves type 1 (T1) inflammation, but 40% of patients have T2 inflammation, which worsens outcomes. Dupilumab, targeting interleukin (IL)-4 and IL-13, shows promise in phase 3 trials. The new NOTUS trial 1 showed effectiveness in reducing exacerbations and improving lung function. However, its predominantly white population limits generalizability. Future research should include diverse populations and assess different therapies combined with dupilumab to improve outcomes.
