Summary
An unmet medical need exists for patients with moderate and severe asthma who continue to demonstrate symptoms despite being on standard of care medications, and are not eligible for other biologic therapies developed or in development for T2-high(allergic/eosinophilic) asthma. The purpose of this study was to determine if CJM112, an anti-IL-17A antibody, displayed the clinical efficacy and safety profile to support further development in patients with inadequately controlled moderate to severe asthma with low IgE and low circulating eosinophil levels.
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria
- Patients with a physician-diagnosed history of moderate to severe asthma for a period of at least one year prior to screening.
- Patients on a stable therapy regimen of asthma for at least 3 months prior to screening with at least medium dose inhaled glucocorticoid and at least one additional asthma controller medication (such as inhaled long-acting bronchodilator, leukotriene antagonist, theophylline, stable low dose glucocorticoid, etc).
- Acceptable and reproducible spirometry with FEV1 ≥ 40 and ≤ 90% of predicted at screening and baseline (re-testing is allowed once).
- ACQ score ≥ 1.5 at screening and baseline (re-testing is allowed once).
- Total serum IgE < 150 IU/mL
- Peripheral blood eosinophils <300/μL
Exclusion Criteria
- Previous use of biologics or other concomitant medications within the time periods specified in the SOM/protocol.
- History of ongoing, chronic, or recurrent moderate or severe infectious disease.
- Patients who have smoked or inhaled nicotine or tobacco products within the 6 month period prior to Visit 1 or who have a smoking history of greater than 10 pack years.
- Patients who have had an asthma attack/exacerbation requiring systemic corticosteroids for at least 3 continuous days within 4 weeks prior to screening.
- Patients who have had a respiratory tract infection or asthma worsening within 4 weeks prior to Visit 1 or during the screening period.
- Women of child-bearing potential unless they use highly effective methods of contraception during dosing and for 13 weeks after stopping of investigational drug.
