Study of Inhaled ARO-RAGE in Allergen-induced Mild Asthma

May 27, 2026 updated by: Arrowhead Pharmaceuticals

A Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled Phase 2a Study of ARO-RAGE Inhalation Solution to Assess Efficacy on Small Airway Dysfunction in Allergen-induced Mild Asthma

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the impact of inhaled ARO-RAGE on the late asthmatic response (LAR) following an inhaled allergen challenge in participants with mild atopic asthma.

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Clinically stable, mild atopic asthma (FEV1 ≥70% predicted)
  • Established allergy confirmed by positive skin prick test at screening
  • Willing and able to perform lung function tests and other study-related procedures
