简要总结
This is a randomised, placebo-controlled, double-blind study to assess the efficacy and safety of Atuliflapon administered once daily over a 12-week treatment period to adult participants with moderate to severe uncontrolled asthma.
详细描述
The study will enroll participants with moderate to severe uncontrolled asthma who are on low-dose inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) - a long-acting beta-agonist (LABA) or medium-to-high-dose ICS with or without LABA background treatment.
The study will be initiated by Lead-in pharmacokinetics (PK) cohort in asthma participants. Participant will be randomised globally, including participants in Lead-in PK cohort (2 arms) and in Part 1 of the study (2 arms).
In the Lead-in PK cohort, participants will be randomised to Atuliflapon or placebo (recruitment completed).
In Part 1 of the study, participants will be stratified by geographical region, and grouped based on high or low levels of biomarker at screening (Visit 1).

结局指标
主要结局
Time to first CompEx Asthma event
时间窗: Baseline up to Week 12
The clinical efficacy of Atuliflapon Dose A will be assessed by calculating a Hazard Ratio between the treatment arms, Atuliflapon Dose A vs. placebo, in a selected population (based on biomarker level). CompEx Asthma, a novel composite endpoint for exacerbations, captures asthma-worsening episodes based on a combination of diary events (worsening in daily peak expiratory flow (PEF), asthma symptoms and reliever medication use) plus severe asthma exacerbation events.
