Researchers are evaluating the effectiveness and safety of a combination inhaler containing fluticasone propionate and albuterol sulfate, delivered via a multidose dry powder inhaler with an electronic module, in participants aged 12 years and older with asthma. This Phase 3 trial aims to compare this combination treatment to fluticasone propionate alone, albuterol sulfate alone, or a placebo inhaler. The study also assesses different dosing schedules, safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of these inhalers. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of four groups receiving either the combination inhaler, fluticasone propionate inhaler, albuterol sulfate inhaler, or placebo, all with integrated electronic modules. Treatments are administered over a 4-week period with dosing four times daily. Pharmacokinetic assessments will be conducted after a single dose administration. The study is double-blind and placebo-controlled, with a parallel group design. Throughout the approximately 10-week study period, including screening and treatment, participants will undergo evaluations including lung function tests measuring forced expiratory volume in one second FEV1, asthma control questionnaires, and safety assessments. Researchers will monitor treatment-emergent adverse events and measure blood concentrations of the inhaled drugs. The study includes electronic monitoring of inhaler use and collects data at baseline, during treatment, and at week 4, with follow-up to assess efficacy and safety.

Researchers are evaluating the safety and effectiveness of brenipatide at different dose levels compared with placebo in adults with uncontrolled moderate to severe asthma. This Phase 2 study aims to better understand how brenipatide may affect asthma symptoms and exacerbations over one year of treatment. Participants in this study are adults aged 18 to 75 years with a history of asthma and recent severe exacerbations. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either one of two doses of brenipatide or a placebo, all administered by subcutaneous injection. The treatment period lasts 52 weeks, during which participants receive their assigned injections and are monitored regularly. The study includes a screening period before treatment and a follow-up period after treatment to assess ongoing safety and effects. During the study, participants will attend visits to complete questionnaires, lung function tests such as forced expiratory volume in one second FEV1, and assessments of asthma control and medication use. Researchers will monitor asthma exacerbation rates, rescue medication use, and the presence of anti-drug antibodies. The total study duration including screening, treatment, and follow-up is approximately 65 weeks.
