Brief Summary

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

The purpose of this study is to determine whether the addition of tralokinumab to standard asthma medication is effective in the treatment of adults with asthma.

Detailed Description

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

Interleukin-13 (IL-13) is a key mediator in the pathogenesis of established asthmatic disease. Tralokinumab is a human monoclonal antibody that blocks IL-13, which may result in improved control of asthma. This study will determine whether the addition of tralokinumab to standard asthma medications results in a reduced rate of asthma exacerbations in subjects with severe asthma.
