Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Study Type

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

20 years to 75 years (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Genders Eligible for Study

All

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  1. Age 20 through 75 years at the time of Week -3 visit.
  2. Written informed consent obtained from the subject prior to performing any protocol-related procedures, including screening evaluations.
  3. Physician prescribed daily use of medium-dose or high-dose ICS plus LABA or any combination of sequential dosing of either medium-dose or high-dose ICS/LABA for at least 12 months prior to Week -3 visit. Dose must be stable for at least 30 days prior to Week -3 visit.
  4. At least 2, but not more than 6, documented asthma exacerbations in the 12 months prior to Week -3 visit that required use of a systemic corticosteroid burst.

Exclusion Criteria

  1. Any condition (eg, any eosinophilic lower respiratory disease other than asthma, Churg-Strauss syndrome, hypereosinophilic syndrome, eosinophilic bronchitis, eosinophilic pneumonia, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), bronchiectasis or cystic fibrosis (CF)) that, in the opinion of the investigator or Medical Expert, would interfere with evaluation of the investigational product or interpretation of subject safety or study results.
  2. Any clinically relevant abnormal findings in physical examination, vital signs, hematology, clinical chemistry, or urinalysis during screening period, which in the opinion of the investigator, may put the subject at risk because of his/her participation in the study, or may influence the results of the study, or the subject's ability to participate in the study.
  3. Acute upper or lower respiratory infections requiring antibiotics or antiviral medications within 30 days prior to Week -3 visit or during the screening period.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Completion (Actual)

Primary Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention to collect final data for the primary outcome measure. Whether the clinical study ended according to the protocol or was terminated does not affect this date. For clinical studies with more than one primary outcome measure with different completion dates, this term refers to the date on which data collection is completed for all the primary outcome measures. The "anticipated" primary completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the primary completion date for the study.
