New asthma drug aims to stop attacks before they start

NCT ID NCT07456033

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study tests whether depemokimab, an injected biologic drug, can reduce severe asthma attacks and help patients achieve remission when added to standard care. About 456 adults and adolescents with type 2 asthma at risk of flare-ups will receive either depemokimab or a placebo for up to 156 weeks. The main goal is to see if the drug lowers the number of attacks needing steroids.

What this could mean

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

Active substance

Depemokimab (a biologic drug given by injection)

What this could lead to

If successful, depemokimab could become a new add-on treatment to help people with type 2 asthma have fewer severe attacks and achieve long-term symptom control.

What could go wrong

This is an early-phase 3b/4 study, so results are not yet known. The drug may not work better than placebo, and side effects are possible. It is not a cure and requires ongoing use.
