Brief Summary

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

This is a Phase 3b, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, parallel group, placebo-controlled study designed to investigate the potential effect of tezepelumab (210 mg subcutaneous \[SC\] every 4 weeks \[Q4W\]) on antibody responses following seasonal quadrivalent influenza virus vaccination in the fall/winter 2021-2022 in the USA.

Detailed Description

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

Participants with moderate to severe asthma will enter the screening period of a minimum of 2 weeks to allow adequate time for all of the eligibility criteria to be evaluated. They will be randomized 1:1 to receive tezepelumab 210 mg or placebo SC Q4W, administered at Weeks 0, 4, 8 and 12. Randomization will be monitored to ensure at least 50% of the randomized participants are between the ages of 12 to 17 years.

Participants will receive a single dose of inactivated quadrivalent seasonal influenza vaccine intramuscularly at Week 12, prior to the fourth dose of study intervention.

Serum samples for evaluation of antibody response will be drawn at Week 12 (pre-vaccination) and at Week 16 (4 weeks post-vaccination) when humoral response to the vaccination is expected to be fully developed.

The End of Treatment (EOT) Visit will be conducted at Week 16 and a final Follow-up Visit and the End of Study Visit will be conducted at Week 28.

Participants Caregivers Investigators
Neither the participant nor any of the investigators or sponsor staff who are involved in the treatment or clinical evaluation and monitoring of the participants will be aware of the treatment received. Since tezepelumab and placebo are not visually distinct, study intervention will be handled by a qualified person (eg, pharmacist or study nurse) at the site.

Study Groups

Tezepelumab

Participants will be randomized to receive tezepelumab 210 mg administered at Weeks 0, 4, 8 and 12. Participants will also receive a single dose of inactivated quadrivalent seasonal influenza vaccine intramuscularly at Week 12, prior to the fourth dose of study intervention.
