Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of escalating multiple subcutaneous (SC) doses of MEDI-563 in adult subjects with asthma.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This is a Phase 2a, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, dose-escalation, multicenter study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and immunogenicity of multiple subcutaneous doses (25, 100, or 200 milligram \[mg\]) of benralizumab (MEDI-563) in adult subjects with asthma.

* Weight of \>=45 kilogram (kg) but less than or equal to (\<=) 135 kg (\>=100 pounds \[lb\] but \<=300 lb)

Cessation of birth control after this point should be discussed with a responsible physician
* Men, unless surgically sterile, must likewise use 2 effective methods of birth control (for example, condom with spermicide) and must agree to continue using such contraceptive precautions through End of Study/Study Day 161
* Ability to complete the study period, including follow-up period until Study Day 161 as required by protocol

Exclusion Criteria

* History of allergy or reaction to any component of the investigational product formulation
* History of allergy or reaction to any other marketed or experimental monoclonal antibody therapies, intravenous gammaglobulin (IVIG), or blood products
* Receipt of any investigational drug therapy within 30 days prior to randomization into the study or any biologic(s) within 5 half-lives of the agent prior to randomization into the study
* Treatment with an oral or systemic burst of corticosteroids within 4 weeks prior to randomization into the study
* Use of any chronic systemic immunosuppressive drugs, including oral corticosteroids within 4 weeks prior to randomization into the study
* Current use of any oral or ophthalmic beta-adrenergic antagonist (for example, propranolol), must have been stopped 2 weeks prior to randomization into the study
