NCT ID NCT07403487
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Sep 11, 2026 · Updated 3 times
Summary
This Phase 2 trial tests an injectable drug called RC1416 in 195 adults with moderate to severe asthma that is not well controlled. Participants will receive either the drug or a placebo by injection. The study will measure changes in lung function and track asthma attacks over time to see if RC1416 is safe and effective.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- RC1416 injection
- What this could lead to
- If successful, RC1416 could offer a new treatment option to better control moderate to severe asthma and reduce flare-ups.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early Phase 2 trial with only 195 participants, so results may not confirm effectiveness. The drug may cause side effects or fail to improve asthma control.
