May 14, 2026 updated by: Generate Biomedicines

A Phase 3, Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Study to Assess the Efficacy and Safety of GB-0895 Adjunctive Therapy in Adults and Adolescents With Severe Uncontrolled Asthma

The objective of this study is to assess the potential for GB-0895 treatment to improve the health of adolescents and adults with severe asthma that is uncontrolled by inhaled corticosteroids (ICS) and conventional asthma controllers.

The study details include:

Study treatment: randomized to receive either GB-0895 or placebo administered every 6 months over 52 weeks.

Visit frequency: every 1-2 months after the first month.

Detailed Description

This is a global, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled Phase 3 study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of GB-0895 adjunctive therapy in adults and adolescents with severe uncontrolled asthma with an optional open-label extension (OLE). The trial is designed to administer GB-0895 an investigational drug or placebo, subcutaneously every 6 months.

The study is divided into several phases as described below:

  • Screening/Baseline (Weeks -6 to -4)
  • Run-in (Weeks -4 to 0, ±1)
  • Treatment (Weeks 0 to 52)
  • Follow-up (Weeks 52 to 90) or optional open-label extension (OLE) (Weeks 52 to 142, OLE includes GB-0895 treatment on Week 52 and Week 78)

Approximately 786 eligible study participants will be screened and randomized globally to receive either GB-0895 or placebo at week 0 and week 26. The safety of the participants enrolled in this trial will be carefully monitored.

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
To evaluate the annualized asthma exacerbation rate (AAER) in adult and adolescent subjects with severe uncontrolled asthma.
Time Frame: From Day 1 (randomization) to Week 52

From Day 1 (randomization) to Week 52

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
To evaluate the annualized asthma exacerbation rate (AAER) in adult and adolescent subjects with severe uncontrolled asthma and baseline eosinophils (EOS) < 300 cells/µL.

The change from baseline on weekly mean daily ADSD score for subjects on GB-0895 as compared to placebo at week 52. The ADSD is an 8-question diary that assesses asthma symptoms that the subjects will fill out at night before bed. The ADSD daily score is calculated by averaging the 8 daily score and a mean of 7-day ADSD score is calculated by averaging of the 7 daily score. The daily score is not calculated if any item response is missing.
From Day 1 (randomization) to Week 52
Change from baseline in weekly mean daily Asthma Nighttime Symptom (ANSD)
Time Frame: From Day 1 (randomization) to Week 52
The change from baseline on daily ANSD score for subjects on GB-0895 as compared to placebo at week 52. ANSD is an eight-question diary that assesses asthma symptoms that the subjects will fill out in the morning upon waking. The ANSD score is calculated by averaging the 8 daily score and a mean of 7-day ANSD score is calculated by averaging of the seven daily score.
From Day 1 (randomization) to Week 52
ACQ-6 response at Week 52
Time Frame: From Day 1 (randomization) to Week 52
The Asthma Control Questionnaire-6 (ACQ-6) at Week 52 defined as an improvement in score of 0.5 or more. The ACQ-6 questionnaire is a 6-question subject-reported questionnaire that assesses the most common asthma symptoms and responses are calculated from the mean of the scores out of a value of 6, where 0 corresponds to totally controlled asthma and 6 corresponds to severely uncontrolled asthma.
From Day 1 (randomization) to Week 52
