Experimental asthma drug briquilimab fails to reach Late-Stage testing
NCT ID NCT06592768
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This Phase 1 trial tested a single dose of briquilimab in 17 adults with mild-to-moderate allergic asthma to see if it was safe and could reduce asthma attacks triggered by allergens. The study was terminated early, meaning it did not continue as planned. The main goal was to check for side effects and measure lung function after an allergen challenge.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- briquilimab (also called JSP191)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could point toward a new treatment option for allergic asthma by targeting the underlying immune response.
- What could go wrong
- This was a very early, small Phase 1 trial that was terminated, so results are limited. The drug may not prove effective or safe in larger studies.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: * Men and women 18 to 65 years of age; stable, allergic asthma; history of episodic wheeze and shortness of breath; forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1) at baseline at least 70% of the predicted value; able to comprehend and follow all required study procedures; willing and able to sign an informed consent form; positive methacholine challenge at baseline (concentration of methacholine causing 20% decrease in FEV1 \[PC20\] PC20 ≤ 16 mg/mL or PD20 equivalent to ≤400µg); and positive skin-prick test and positive allergen-induced early and late airway bronchoconstriction to common aeroallergens. Exclusion Criteria: * Worsening of asthma or respiratory infection in the preceding 6 weeks; lung disease other than allergic asthma; prior treatment with a c-Kit inhibiting therapy; anaphylaxis to any parenterally administered biologics; use of asthma medications (note: intermittent doses of short-acting β2-agonist are allowed once weekly for relief of symptoms but prophylactic use for exercise is allowed as-needed); pregnant or lactating women; and women actively seeking pregnancy or who are not using adequate contraception.
