Additional Information
People with eosinophilic asthma often have more frequent flare-ups and may not respond as well to standard treatments, even when using inhaled medications as prescribed. This study is evaluating whether a new oral investigational medication can help improve asthma control for people whose symptoms remain uncontrolled.
You may be eligible for this study if you meet the following criteria.
Inclusion Criteria:
- Ages 18-75
- Diagnosed with asthma
- Use a steroid inhaler
- Are not a current smoker
- Phone screening — A member of the study team will call to ask a few questions and see if the study might be a good fit for you.
- Screening period (up to 5 weeks) — You’ll join a virtual screening call, then come on-site to review and sign the informed consent form and complete screening assessments to confirm you’re eligible.
- Treatment period (12 weeks) — You’ll receive either the study medication or a placebo. Visits happen weekly for the first 2 weeks, then at Week 4, then every 4 weeks. Your Week 12 visit marks the end of treatment.
- Safety follow-up (4 weeks) — The study team will check in to monitor your health after treatment ends.
In total, participation lasts up to 21 weeks from screening through follow-up.
