What This Trial Is Studying

Asthma is a chronic condition marked by narrowed and swollen airways due to inflammation leading to recurring symptoms that can vary and worsen unpredictably.\xa0The purpose of this study is to assess how depemokimab, a monoclonal antibody, affects the structure and function of the lungs in asthmatic participants with type 2 inflammation, characterized by an eosinophilic phenotype.

Eligibility Snapshot
  • : * Documented clinical diagnosis of asthma for greater than or equal to (>=) 2 years as per the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute guidelines (NHLBI, 2020) or GINA guidelines (GINA, 2024), or joint guidance from the British Thoracic Society, National Institute for Health and Care Excellence, and Scottish Intercollegiate Guidelines Network [NICE, 2024] along with the following: an eosinophilic phenotype as evidenced by a blood eosinophil count of >=300 cells/microliters (mcL) at screening or a documented history of blood eosinophil count >=300 cells/mcL within 3 months prior to screening; Exhaled nitric oxide (FeNO) measure of >=25 parts per billion (ppb) recorded at screening; and a previously confirmed history of >= 2 exacerbations requiring treatment with systemic corticosteroid (SCS; intramuscular [IM], intravenous [IV], or oral), in the 12 months prior to screening, despite the use of medium to high dose Inhaled corticosteroids (ICS) * Uncontrolled asthma indicated by Astha Control Questionnaire-5 (ACQ-5) greater than (>) 1.5 recorded at screening * Persistent airflow obstruction as indicated by pre-bronchodilator Forced Expiration Volume in 1 second (FEV1) less than (=20 pack years (number of pack years = [number of cigarettes per day/20] x number of years smoked) and vapers * Participants…
