This study compares the drug Lebrikizumab with placebo, evaluating its effect on airway eosinophilic inflammation in patients with uncontrolled asthma. It included patients with at least 12 months of asthma who were on inhaled corticosteroids. It was a Phase 2 study and has been completed.
The summary above is a plain-language rendering of the official record. The original English title is shown for reference.
Criteria are reproduced from the ClinicalTrials.gov record in the original English. Only the trial team can determine eligibility.
Inclusion Criteria: * Asthma diagnosis for greater than or equal to (\>/=) 12 months prior to Visit 1 * Bronchodilator response demonstrated within the 12 months before Visit 1 or at Visit 1, 2, or 3 of screening * Pre-bronchodilator FEV1 of 40 percent (%) - 80% predicted at both Visits 2 and 3 * On ICS therapy at a total daily dose of 500-2000 mcg of fluticasone propionate dry powder inhaler (DPI) or equivalent for \>/= 6 months prior to Visit 1, with no changes within 4 weeks prior to Visit 1, and no anticipated changes throughout the study * On an eligible second controller medication (long-acting Beta-agonist \[LABA), leukotriene receptor antagonist \[LTRA\], long-acting muscarinic antagonists \[LAMAs\] or theophylline) for 6 months prior to Visit 1, with no changes within 4 weeks prior to Visit 1, and no anticipated changes throughout the study * Uncontrolled asthma at Visit 1 and/or 2 and at Visit 3 * Chest X-ray or computed tomography (CT) scan within 12 months prior to Visit 1 or chest X-ray during the screening period (prior to Visit 3) that confirms the absence of other clinically significant lung disease * Demonstrated adherence with controller medication during the screening period Exclusion Criteria: * Maintenance oral corticosteroid therapy, defined as daily alternate-day oral corticosteroid maintenance therapy within 3 months prior to Visit 1 * Treatment with systemic corticosteroids within 4 weeks prior to Visit 1 or during the screening period for any reason, including an acute exacerbation event * Any infection requiring hospital, intravenous (IV) or intramuscular (IM) antibiotic treatment or any respiratory infection within 4 weeks prior to Visit 1 or during screening.
