A plain-language read of the study's public EU CTIS listing. The study team confirms the details.
Who can take part
You may be able to join if
- Patient must be 18 to 80 years of age inclusive, at the time of signing the ICF
- Pre-BD FEV1 ≥ 40% at both Visit 1 and Visit 2.
- A pre-BD/pre-study intervention dose FEV1 at Visit 2 that has not increased by ≥ 400 ml from the pre-BD FEV1 recorded at Visit 1.
- Patient has documented evidence of any of the following: (a) A history of 1 severe exacerbation within the last 12 months and either: (i) FeNO ≥ 25 ppb at the screening and randomisation visits (Visits 1 and 2) (ii) Eosinophil count ≥ 150 cells/µL, recorded at any point in the 12 months up to and including the Screening Visit (local testing can be carried out to confirm eligibility if eosinophil count not available in medical records within the last 12 months). (b) A history of ≥ 2 severe exacerbations within 12 months of Visit 1. A severe exacerbation is defined as an episode of symptoms of asthma worsening that results in at least one of the following: OCS use for 3 consecutive days, inpatient (≥ 24 hours) hospitalisation for asthma or emergency room or equivalent visit for asthma that results in systemic CS use.
- At least 80% compliance with usual asthma background medication during the run-in period based on the daily asthma ePROs.
- Minimum 80% compliance with daily assessments. Compliance is defined as completing the daily ePROs and PEF measurements (morning and evening) at least 80% of the time during the 14-day period prior to the randomisation visit (minimum of 11 days) preceding Vi

- A helminth parasitic infection diagnosed within 24 weeks of Visit 1 that has not been treated, or has not responded to SoC therapy.
- Current smokers, former smokers with > 10 pack-years history, or former smokers who stopped smoking < 6 months before Visit 1 (including all forms of tobacco, e-cigarettes [vaping], and other recreational drugs including marijuana).

- Current diagnosis of cancer or unresectable cancer that has not been in complete remission for at least 5 years prior to Visit 1. Note: Squamous cell and basal cell carcinomas of the skin and cervical carcinoma-in-situ that have been treated and considered cured at the time of enrolment are not exclusionary.
