1. Male or non-pregnant female participants 50 years or older with a clinical diagnosis of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) for greater than or equal to 12 months
2. Walked a distance of greater than or equal to 100 but less than or equal to 450 meters during the 6-Minute Walk Test (MWT) performed at screening.
3. Chest x-ray within the past year that was compatible with COPD
4. Documented involuntary nonedematous weight loss of greater than 5% of participant's usual body weight over the past 12 months or BMI less than or equal to 21 kg/m\^2 for males or Body Mass Index (BMI) less than or equal to 20 kg/m\^2 for females
5. Female participants who were clinically sterile (eg, either postmenopausal or had undergone a tubal ligation or hysterectomy) or were practicing a medically acceptable method of birth control (eg, oral, transdermal, implantable, or injectable contraceptive medications; double-barrier method or intrauterine device)
You may not be if
Participants who met any of the following criteria were excluded from the study:
1. BMI greater than 26 kg/m\^2
2. Used, over a total of 7 or more days, parenteral corticosteroids at a dose equivalent to prednisone at greater than or equal to 5 mg/day or oral corticosteroids at a dose equivalent to prednisone at greater than 10 mg/day within the 2 months before screening; however, participants were allowed to participate if on stable doses equivalent to prednisone at less than or equal to 10 mg/day for at least 2 months before screening, and were planning to remain on the same stable dose throughout the study
3. Were planning to start a pulmonary rehabilitation program during the study (participant may have been enrolled in the study if he or she was currently on a stable maintenance program)
4. Weight loss that was considered to be, in the opinion of the investigator, the result of food deprivation
5. Unintended weight loss that may have been due to disease other than COPD
6. Unable or unwilling to be trained to self-administer the study drug by subcutaneous injection bid, and for whom arrangements could not be made for a third party to reliably administer the injections
7. Severe anemia (hemoglobin less than or equal to 8 g/dL)
8. COPD exacerbation defined as a Type 1 or 2 exacerbation according to the Winnipeg criteria, acute infection, or prolonged fever within 4 weeks before screening
9. Undergoing treatment or evaluation for cancer, or had a history of treatment for cancer within the past 3 years, exception being nonmelanoma skin cancer (basal cell or squamous cell carcinoma of the skin) and carcinoma in situ of the cervix
10. Type I or type II diabetes mellitus or a fasting serum glucose of greater than or equal to 115 mg/dL (6.4 mmol/L) (fasting was overnight)
11. Serious disease or conditions that would have interfered with the participant's ability to complete the functional measures included in this protocol; or any illness that, in the opinion of the investigator, might have interfered with the results of the study or the participant's ability to participate
12. Pulmonary embolism, deep venous thrombosis, or clinically significant primary pulmonary hypertension within the past 6 months
13. Significant ischemic heart disease or chronic heart failure (New York Heart Association Class IV cardiac disease)
14. Uncontrolled hypertension (systolic blood pressure greater than 160 mm Hg or diastolic blood pressure greater than 110 mm Hg)
15. A history of symptomatic orthostatic hypotension or syncope; or orthostatic hypotension at screening or baseline (Days -6 to -3) (orthostatic hypotension was defined as a decrease in systolic blood pressure by greater than or equal to 20 mm Hg measured after 2 minutes in a standing position compared with the systolic blood pressure measured after 10 minutes in a supine position)
16. Evidence of ascites, pleural effusion, or lower extremity edema
17. Severe vitamin D deficiency (25-hydroxyvitamin D less than 10 ng/mL)
18. Known mechanical obstruction of the alimentary tract and/or malabsorption
19. Dental or swallowing problems that may have had a negative effect on food intake
20. Serum creatinine greater than 2.5 mg/dL; or alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase, or gamma-glutamyl transferase greater than 3 times the upper limit of normal, or bilirubin greater than 2.5 mg/dL
21. A diagnosis of human immunodeficiency virus infection or AIDS
22. Used any prescription drugs and non-prescription drugs/herbs that cause weight loss or affect appetite and absorption or that may cause nausea; or used appetite-promoting or anabolic medications within 15 days before screening
23. A history of alcohol or drug abuse that, in the opinion of the investigator, would have interfered with the participant's ability to comply with the dosing schedule and protocol-specified requirements
24. Hypersensitive to any component of SUN11031, or participated at any time in any study in which SUN11031 was administered
25. Received an investigational drug or product, or participated in a drug study within 30 days before screening
26. Non-ambulatory or unwilling to cooperate fully with the investigator or a designee, or unwilling or unable to comply with study requirements, such as all assessments required by the protocol, including completion of measures for functional capacity and pulmonary function, or frequent blood sampling and meal instructions; or unable or unwilling to attend all study visits
