Researchers are evaluating the efficacy and safety of benralizumab, given as a subcutaneous injection, in children and adolescents aged 6 to under 18 years who have severe eosinophilic asthma. These patients have a history of asthma exacerbations and uncontrolled symptoms despite treatment with high-dose inhaled corticosteroids plus at least one other controller medication. This Phase III study aims to compare benralizumab to placebo in reducing the time to the first asthma exacerbation. The study includes a screening period lasting from 4 to 12 weeks to confirm eligibility. After screening, patients are randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to receive either benralizumab or placebo via subcutaneous injections during a double-blind treatment period lasting a minimum of 16 weeks. This period continues until the patient experiences an asthma exacerbation or a set number of events occur. Patients who exacerbate can enter an open-label extension where all receive benralizumab for at least 48 weeks. An end-of-treatment visit occurs 8 weeks after the last dose in the extension phase. Participants will be monitored through visits and assessments including confirmation of severe eosinophilic asthma, asthma control questionnaires, and symptom diaries. Researchers will measure the time to first asthma exacerbation as the primary outcome. Medication adherence is tracked during screening, and safety is monitored throughout both the double-blind and extension periods. Total participation may span over a year, considering screening, treatment, extension, and follow-up visits.

Researchers are investigating the effects of two different doses of Glycopyrronium (GP) metered dose inhaler (MDI) compared to a placebo MDI when added to background treatment with Budesonide and Formoterol Fumarate (BFF) MDI. This study focuses on children aged 4 to less than 12 years who have asthma. The goal is to assess how these treatments affect lung function in this pediatric population during a Phase II clinical trial. The study is designed as a multi-center, randomized, double-blind, 3-period, 6-sequence crossover trial. It begins with a 3-week run-in period, followed by three separate 3-week treatment periods during which participants receive one of the three treatments: BFF MDI plus GP MDI Dose A, BFF MDI plus GP MDI Dose B, or BFF MDI plus placebo MDI. All inhalers are taken twice daily via oral inhalation. After completing the treatment periods, participants attend a safety follow-up visit 12 to 16 days after their last dose. Participants will undergo regular assessments including lung function tests to measure Forced Expiratory Volume in one second (FEV1) one hour after dosing at the end of treatment. Researchers will monitor safety through clinical exams and follow-up visits. The total participation duration includes the run-in, treatment periods, and safety follow-up, providing a comprehensive evaluation of the treatments' effects on asthma control in children.

This research aims to evaluate the long-term safety and explore the effectiveness of astegolimab in people with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) who have already completed a 52-week treatment in previous studies GB43311 or GB44332. The study focuses on participants aged 40 to 90 years and is a Phase III open-label extension trial designed to continue monitoring patients after their initial treatment period. Participants will receive astegolimab as a subcutaneous injection every two weeks during this extension study. This treatment continues from the prior placebo-controlled phase, allowing researchers to observe any ongoing effects and safety concerns over a longer period. The study does not include a placebo group during this extension phase, and all participants receive the active treatment. Throughout the study, researchers will closely monitor participants for any adverse events up to 12 weeks after the last dose of astegolimab. Participants will be assessed regularly to ensure their safety and to gather data on the treatment's long-term impact. The total duration of participant involvement depends on when they completed the parent studies but involves continued monitoring during and after the treatment period.

Researchers are evaluating the safety and effectiveness of tezepelumab in children aged 5 to under 12 years who have severe uncontrolled asthma. These children must be on medium to high doses of inhaled corticosteroids along with at least one other asthma controller medication, with or without oral corticosteroids. This phase 3, multicenter, double-blind, placebo-controlled study aims to better understand how tezepelumab affects asthma control in this pediatric population. Participants will be randomly assigned in a 2:1 ratio to receive either subcutaneous injections of tezepelumab or a matching placebo for 52 weeks during the double-blind treatment period. Before this, there is a 4 to 6 week screening and run-in phase. After the treatment period, a 12-week follow-up phase occurs without treatment. Eligible participants can then join an optional open-label extension, receiving tezepelumab for an additional 104 weeks followed by another 12-week post-treatment follow-up. Throughout the study, participants will have regular assessments including lung function tests, asthma control questionnaires, and monitoring for asthma exacerbations. Researchers will measure the annualized rate of severe asthma flare-ups from the start of treatment to week 52. Safety and treatment adherence will also be closely monitored during all study phases, with total participation potentially extending over two years for those in the extension period.

This research aims to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of a fixed-dose combination of fluticasone propionate (Fp) and albuterol sulfate (ABS) delivered via an integrated electronic module multidose dry powder inhaler (eMDPI) compared to ABS alone in reducing severe clinical asthma exacerbations in patients with asthma. The study also assesses the efficacy of a low dose of Fp/ABS versus ABS and examines the impact on systemic corticosteroid exposure. This is a phase 3 randomized, double-blind, active-controlled trial involving patients diagnosed with asthma for at least one year. Participants will receive either a high dose or low dose of Fp/ABS or ABS alone through oral inhalation powder during a double-blind treatment period lasting a minimum of 24 weeks. The study includes a 2-week screening phase, a 2 to 4-week run-in period, and the treatment phase. Because this is an event-driven study, the total duration for individual participants may extend up to approximately 42 months depending on enrollment timing and study completion. During the study, participants will be closely monitored for time to first severe clinical asthma exacerbation while using the inhaler device. Safety and tolerability will be evaluated throughout the study. Researchers will also track systemic corticosteroid use and overall asthma control. The minimum participation time is 28 weeks, including screening and run-in, with extended monitoring possible based on study events and criteria.

Researchers are evaluating the effectiveness, safety, and tolerability of subcutaneous lunsekimig compared to a placebo in adults aged 40 to 80 years with inadequately controlled chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) characterized by an eosinophilic phenotype. This Phase 2b/Phase 3, parallel, 3-arm study focuses on participants who have a history of COPD with an eosinophilic profile and have not achieved control with current treatments. Eligible participants will receive either lunsekimig or a matching placebo through subcutaneous injections over a randomized treatment period of approximately 48 weeks. The study involves three periods: an initial screening period lasting up to 4 weeks, followed by the 48-week treatment period, and finally an 8-week follow-up period. The total study duration may last up to 60 weeks. During the study, participants will be regularly assessed for the annualized rate of moderate-to-severe COPD exacerbations from baseline up to 48 weeks. Researchers will monitor safety, tolerability, and treatment effects through various evaluations throughout the treatment and follow-up periods. Participant involvement includes completing assessments and receiving scheduled injections as part of the study protocol.

Researchers are evaluating the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of adding subcutaneous lunsekimig compared with placebo as treatment for adults aged 18 to 80 with high-risk asthma who currently do not qualify for biologic therapies. This Phase 2, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study focuses on participants with mild-to-moderate asthma diagnosed for over a year, who have had at least one asthma exacerbation in the previous year. The goal is to better understand lunsekimig's effects in this specific asthma population. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either subcutaneous injections of lunsekimig or placebo over approximately 52 weeks. Alongside this, they may continue using other asthma medications such as various inhaled treatments including fluticasone/salmeterol, budesonide/formoterol, budesonide/albuterol, or short-acting beta agonists. The study includes up to 18 visits throughout the treatment period, with some participants possibly continuing into a long-term safety (LTS) study lasting up to 60 weeks total. During the study, participants will undergo regular assessments to monitor asthma control, lung function, and the rate of asthma exacerbations. The primary measurement is the annualized rate of asthma exacerbation events from baseline up to 52 weeks. Safety and tolerability will also be closely observed. The total study duration for most participants will be around 64 weeks if they do not enter the LTS study. Researchers will gather data through clinical visits, lung function tests, and ongoing safety monitoring to evaluate the treatment's impact and participant health throughout the trial.
