Study to Evaluate the Pharmacokinetic Characteristics, Safety, Tolerability, and Preliminary Efficacy of 9MW1911 in Patients With Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD).

The study will evaluate the pharmacokinetic characteristics, safety, tolerability, and preliminary efficacy of 9MW1911 in combination with standard of care COPD maintenance therapy in patients with moderate to severe COPD.

9. Documented history of \>= 2 moderate or \>=1 severe COPD exacerbations within 12 months prior to screening.

Exclusion Criteria:

1. Current diagnosis of asthma according to the Global Initiative for Asthma guidelines or other accepted guidelines, or documented history of asthma.
2. Diagnosis of Alpha-1 Antitrypsin Deficiency.
3. Moderate to severe COPD exacerbation, within 4 weeks prior to randomization.
4. History of lung pneumonectomy, or lung volume reduction within 12 months prior to screening.
5. Clinically significant respiratory disease other than COPD that significantly affect the study.
6. Evidence of active injection with Mycobacterium tuberculosis or nontuberculous mycobacteria, latent, or inadequately treated infection with Mycobacterium tuberculosis.
7. COVID-19 vaccination injection within 14 days before randomization.
8. Long-term treatment with oxygen (oxygen therapy time \>15h/day), or treatment with mechanical ventilation
9. Clinically significant sleep apnea requiring continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) or non-invasive positive pressure ventilation (NIPPV).
10. Participating in, or scheduled for a pulmonary rehabilitation program within 4 weeks of screening.
11. Clinically significant abnormal electrocardiogram (ECG) at randomization that may affect the conduct of the study.
12. Myocardial infarction, unstable angina, or stroke occurring within 12 months prior to screening;
13. Heart failure (NYHA Class III or IV) within 6 months prior to screening.
14. Uncontrolled hypertension (ie, systolic blood pressure\>180 mmHg or diastolic blood pressure \>110 mmHg with or without use of anti-hypertensive therapy).
15. Treatment with other biological agents (including anti-IL4, IL-5, IL-13 monoclonal antibodies) or immunosuppressive therapy within 2 months prior to screening.
16. Alcohol or drug abuse within 1 year prior to screening.
17. Malignancy, current or within the past 5 years. Suspected malignancy or undefined neoplasms.
18. Positive test for Hepatitis B surface antigen (HbsAg), Hepatitis C virus antibody (HCVAb), Syphilis Treponema pallidum antibody (Syphilis TP), or Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV Ag/Ab).

21. History of systemic allergic reaction (including systemic allergic reaction to any biological therapy), or history of immediate allergic reaction to any biological therapy.
22. Participation in an interventional clinical studies within 3 months that could affect the result of this study.
23. Pregnant or lactating women. Women of child-bearing potential (WOCBP) with a positive blood serum pregnancy test at screening. Planning a pregnancy during the intervention period and for at least 20 weeks after the last dose of study intervention. Subjects of child-bearing potential (including female subjects, male subjects and their female partners of child-bearing potential) unable to use reliable contraception during the intervention period and for at least 20 weeks after the last dose of study intervention.
24. Confirmed COVID-19 infection at screening. Known history of COVID-19 infection within 4 weeks prior to screening. History of requiring mechanical ventilation or extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) secondary to COVID-19 within 3 months prior to screening. Participants who have had a COVID-19 infection prior screening have not yet sufficiently recovered to participate in the procedures of a clinical trial.
25. Life expectancy of no more than 12 months.
26. Subjects who is inappropriate to participate in the trial due to any reasons as determined by the investigator.
