New asthma drug could help kids breathe easier

NCT ID NCT06023589

What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now This study
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This study tests whether tezepelumab, an injectable drug, can reduce severe asthma attacks in children aged 5 to 11 with hard-to-control asthma. About 231 kids will receive either tezepelumab or a placebo, alongside their usual asthma medicines. The main goal is to see if the drug lowers the number of serious flare-ups and improves lung function.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
tezepelumab
What this could lead to
If it works, this could give children with severe asthma a new option to prevent serious attacks and improve breathing.
What could go wrong
This is a Phase 3 trial, but results may not apply to all children. Tezepelumab is not a cure; children will still need ongoing asthma management.

This is an AI summary of the original study and may miss details. Read our disclaimer.

Show the full entry requirements

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: 1. Written informed consent from (ICF) at least one parent/caregiver (as per local guidelines) and accompanying informed assent from the participant (where the participant is able to provide assent) prior to admission to the study. 2. Participants must be 5 to \< 12 years of age, at the time of signing the assent form (as applicable per local guidelines) and their caregivers signing the ICF and at Visit 3. 3. Documented physician diagnosis of severe asthma confirmed and evaluated for at least 6 months prior to Visit 1. 4. Documented physician-prescribed treatment with a total daily dose of either medium or high dose, for at least 3 months with stable dose ≥ 1 month prior to Visit 1. 5. Documented treatment with at least one additional maintenance asthma controller medication is required according to local guidelines and standard of care; (long-acting beta agonist, leukotriene receptor antagonist, long-acting muscarinic antagonist) for at least 3 months with stable dose ≥ 1 month prior to Visit 1. 6. Supportive evidence of asthma as documented by one of the following: 1. Post-BD (albuterol/salbutamol) responsiveness of FEV1 ≥ 10% during Screening (15 to 30 min after administration of 4 puffs of albuterol/salbutamol with a maximum of 12 puffs of reliever medication only if tolerated by the participant) at either Visit 1 or Visit 2. If (a) is not achieved at Visit 1 or Visit 2, historical documentation by any of the below prior to Visit 1: 2. Post-BD responsiveness of FEV1 ≥ 10%. 3. Positive methacholine challenge defined as provocative concentration (PC20) of ≤ 16 mg/mL. 4. PEF average daily diurnal variability \> 13% over a 2-week period. 5. Variability of FEV1 ≥ 12% between any two clinical visits. 6. Positive exercise challenge test (defined as a fall in FEV1 of \> 12%). 7. FeNO ≥ 20 ppb despite confirmed ICS maintenance therapy. 7. History of at least 2 severe asthma exacerbation events OR 1 severe asthma exacerbation event resulting in hospitalisation within 12 months prior to Visit 1. 8. Pre-BD FEV1 \>50% and ≤ 95%PN OR FEV1/forced vital capacity (FVC) ratio ≤ 0.85 at either Visit 1 or Visit 2. 9. Evidence of uncontrolled asthma, with at least 1 of the below criteria: 1. ACQ-IA score ≥ 1.5 at least once during Screening/Run-in, including Visit 3 (prior to Randomisation) for participants ≥ 6 years old at Screening. 2. Use of reliever medication, other than as a preventive for exercise induced bronchospasm, on 3 or more days per week for at least 1 week during the Screening/Run-in period. 3. Sleep awakening due to asthma symptoms requiring use of reliever medication at least once during the Screening/Run-in period. 4. Asthma symptoms 3 or more days per week in at least 1 week during the Screening/Run-in period. 10. Body weight ≥ 16 kg at Visit 1 (Screening) and Visit 3 (Randomisation). Exclusion Criteria: 1. History of vocal cord dysfunction, cystic fibrosis, primary ciliary dyskinesia, or chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyposis. 2. History of any clinically significant disease or disorder other than asthma which, in the opinion of the investigator, may either put the participant at risk because of participation in the study, or influence the results or the participant's ability to participate in the study. 3. History of a clinically significant deterioration in asthma or asthma exacerbation including those requiring use of systemic corticosteroids or increase in the maintenance dose of oral corticosteroids within 30 days prior to Visit 1. 4. Change in ICS dose within 1 month prior to Visit 1. 5. History of a life-threatening asthma exacerbation resulting in a hypoxic seizure or requiring intubation.
