New asthma drug shows promise in reducing severe attacks
NCT ID NCT05421598
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This Phase 2 trial tested amlitelimab, an injectable drug, in 437 adults with moderate-to-severe asthma. Participants received either amlitelimab or a placebo alongside their usual asthma medications. The study measured how well the drug reduced severe asthma attacks and improved lung function over 48 weeks.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- amlitelimab
- What this could lead to
- If successful, amlitelimab could become a new add-on treatment to reduce severe asthma attacks and improve breathing in people with moderate-to-severe asthma.
- What could go wrong
- This is a Phase 2 trial, so results are still early. The drug may not work better than placebo, and side effects are possible. Larger studies are needed before it could be approved.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: * The participant must be between the ages of 18 and 75 inclusive at the time of signing the informed consent. * Moderate to severe asthma diagnosed by a physician for ≥ 12 months according to stages 4 and 5 of the Global Initiative for Asthma (GINA ). * Participants on existing therapy with medium to high doses of ICS (≥500 μg fluticasone propionate daily or comparable ICS dose in combination with at least one additional controller (e.g., long-acting beta agonist \[LABA\], leukotriene receptor antagonist \[LTRA\], long-acting muscarinic antagonist \[LAMA\], methylxanthines) for at least 3 months. * ≥ 1 severe asthma exacerbation in the past year, with at least one exacerbation during treatment with medium to high doses of ICS (≥ 500 μg fluticasone propionate daily or one dose of ICS comparable). * Participants with pre-BD forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1) \> 40% and \< 80% of predicted normal at the screening visit. * 5-item ACQ-5 score \>1.5 at randomization. * Participants with at least 12% reversibility and 200 mL post-BD FEV after administration of albuterol/salbutamol or levalbuterol/levosalbutamol at screening or documented history of a reversibility test. * Weight ≥40 kg and ≤150 kg at the randomization visit. Exclusion Criteria: Participants were excluded from the study if any of the following criteria apply: * Chronic lung disease other than asthma. * Current or former smoker including active vaping of any products and/or marijuana with cessation within 6 months of screening or history of \>10 pack-years. * Participants who experienced a deterioration of asthma that results in emergency treatment or hospitalization, or treatment with systemic steroids at any time from 1 month prior to screening. * Suspicion of, or confirmed, coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) infection during the screening period including known history of COVID-19 infection within 4 weeks prior to Screening; mechanical ventilation or extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) secondary to COVID-19 within 3 months prior to Screening; COVID-19 infection who have not yet sufficiently recovered to participate in the procedures of a clinical trial. * Active infection or history of clinically significant infection * Known history of, or suspected, significant current immunosuppression, including history of invasive opportunistic or helminthic infections despite infection resolution or otherwise recurrent infections of abnormal frequency or prolonged duration. * Active or latent tuberculosis (TB) * A history of malignancy of any type (excluding basal and squamous cell skin cancer and in situ cervical carcinoma that has been excised and cured \>3 years prior to baseline). * History of solid organ transplant. * Hepatitis B, C or HIV. * Pregnant or breastfeeding. * History (within last 2 years prior to Baseline) of prescription drug or substance abuse, including alcohol, considered significant by the Investigator. * Any prior use of anti-OX40 or anti-OX40L mAb, including amlitelimab. * Sensitivity to any of the study interventions, or components thereof, or drug or other allergy that, in the opinion of the Investigator, contraindicates participation in the study. The above information is not intended to contain all considerations relevant to a patient's potential participation in a clinical trial.
