Brief Summary

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

This study evaluates the efficacy and safety of benralizumab as an add-on therapy in uncontrolled eosinophilic asthma participants treated with medium-dose ICS-LABA compared to the conventional treatment step of escalation of inhaled therapy to high-dose ICS-LABA.

Detailed Description

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

This is a randomized, double-blind, active-controlled, parallel group global study designed to investigate the efficacy and safety of adding fixed-dose benralizumab (30 mg), administered subcutaneously (SC) every 4 weeks for the first 3 doses and then every 8 weeks for participants with a history of eosinophilic asthma, who remain uncontrolled on medium-dose Inhaled corticosteroid-Long-acting β2-agonists (ICS-LABA) with or without other asthma controller(s) (with the exception of oral corticosteroids), compared to the conventional treatment step of escalation of inhaled therapy to high-dose ICS-LABA plus placebo (benralizumab).

Study Design

Understand how the trial is structured, including allocation methods, masking strategies, primary purpose, and other design elements.

Allocation Method

RANDOMIZED

Intervention Model

PARALLEL

Participants will be randomised 1:1 to one of the following arms:

* Medium-dose ICS-LABA + benralizumab
* High-dose ICS-LABA + placebo (benralizumab)
Primary Study Purpose

TREATMENT

Blinding Strategy

QUADRUPLE

Participants Caregivers Investigators Outcome Assessors
Benralizumab and placebo will be supplied in identical Accessorised pre-filled syringe (APFS). Medium and high dose ICS-LABA will be supplied in identical inhalers, as appropriate for US and ex-US markets, and the maximum daily dose is the same for the 2 Investigational products (IPs) (2 doses/day).

Participants are not aware of the dose levels to which they are assigned. The Interactive Response Technology / Randomisation and Trial Supply Management (IRT/RTSM) will provide to the investigator(s) or pharmacist(s) the kit identification number to be allocated to the participant at the dispensing visit.

Routines for this will be described in the IRT/RTSM user manual that will be provided to each centre.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Medium-dose ICS-LABA + benralizumab

Participants will be randomised 1:1 to one of the 2 study arms. Participants will receive up to 7 SC injections during study, with the first 3 doses administered every 4 weeks and then subsequent doses every 8 weeks.

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

* Written informed consent
* Participant must be 12 to 75 years of age
* Documented history of physician-diagnosed asthma requiring treatment with at least medium-dose ICS (\> 250 μg fluticasone dry powder formulation equivalents total daily dose) and a LABA, for at least 12 months prior to Visit (V) 1.
* Documented treatment with medium-dose ICS and LABA for at least 3 months prior to Visit 1 with or without additional asthma controllers (excluding oral corticosteroids).
* Weight of ≥ 35 kg.
* Pre-Bronchodilator (BD) Forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1) of ≤ 90% predicted
* Documented at least 2 asthma exacerbations in the 12 months prior to the date of informed consent.
* ACQ-6 score ≥ 1.5 at Visit 1, plus at least once in the run-in period (from V2 to V3) and at V3.
* Evidence of asthma as documented by excessive variability in lung function, as defined in the protocol.
* Peripheral blood eosinophil count of ≥ 150 cells/μL, as defined in the protocol.
* At least 70% compliance with usual asthma controller ICS-LABA during run-in period (from Visit 2 to Visit 3) based on asthma daily diary.

Exclusion Criteria

* Important pulmonary disease other than asthma at the discretion of the investigator, or ever been diagnosed with pulmonary or systemic disease, other than asthma, which are associated with elevated peripheral eosinophil counts.
* Asthma exacerbation requiring use of Systemic corticosteroids (SCS), or acute upper/lower respiratory infection that requires antibiotics or antiviral medication within 30 days prior to the date informed consent is obtained or during the screening/run-in period
* Any unstable disorder that in the opinion of the investigator could affect the study according to the study protocol.
* Clinically significant chronic or ongoing active infections requiring systemic treatment (at investigator's discretion)
* Concurrent participation in another clinical study with an IP or a post-authorisation safety study.
* History of alcohol or drug abuse within 12 months prior to the date informed consent is obtained.
* Current smokers or former smokers with a smoking history ≥ 10 pack-years. Former smokers must have stopped for at least 6 months prior to Visit 1 to be eligible.
