New asthma drug candidate enters first human safety tests

NCT ID NCT06637371

First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This early-stage trial is testing an experimental drug called AMG 691 in 21 healthy volunteers and people with mild-to-moderate asthma. The main goal is to see if the drug is safe and how the body processes it. Participants receive either the drug or a placebo as an injection under the skin. This study does not aim to treat asthma but to gather essential safety data before larger trials.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

AMG 691 (an experimental drug given as an injection under the skin)

What this could lead to

If this early study shows the drug is safe, it could lead to larger trials testing whether AMG 691 helps control asthma symptoms.

What could go wrong

This is a very small, early-phase trial focused on safety, not on whether the drug works for asthma. Many drugs that appear safe in Phase 1 fail in later stages.
