Inclusion Criteria
  • A physician-diagnosed moderate-to-severe asthma for ≥12 months based on GINA guidelines Steps 4 and 5
  • Participants with existing treatment with moderate-to-high doses of ICS therapy for in combination with at least 1 but no more than 2 additional controller medications at least 3 months with a stable dose ≥1 month prior to Visit 1
  • At least 1 asthma exacerbation in the past year, with at least one exacerbation occurring while on treatment with moderate to high doses of ICS therapy
  • ACQ-5 score more than 1.5 at Screening (Visit 1)
Exclusion Criteria
  • Chronic obstructive or other lung diseases (eg, COPD, idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, etc) which may impair lung function, or another diagnosed pulmonary or systemic disease.
  • Current smoker or former smoker with cessation within 6 months of Screening or history of >10 pack-years. Active vaping of any products and/or marijuana smoking within 6 months of Screening.
  • Participants who experience a deterioration of asthma that results in emergency treatment or hospitalization, or treatment with systemic steroids within 1 month prior to the Screening
  • Participants who have experienced an upper or lower respiratory tract infection within the 4 weeks prior to Screening
  • For participants on chronic OCS use for the maintenance treatment of asthma: history of a serious infection requiring hospitalization within the past 12 months prior to Randomization (Visit 2).
  • Participants with active tuberculosis (TB), latent TB, a history of incompletely treated TB, suspected extrapulmonary TB infection, or who are at high risk of contracting TB (such as close contact with individuals with active or latent TB) or received Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG)-vaccination within 12 weeks prior to Screening
  • Severe concomitant illness that would in the Investigator's opinion inhibit the participant's participation in the study, including for example, but not limited to, hypertension, renal disease, neurological conditions, heart failure and pulmonary disease
  • The above information is not intended to contain all considerations relevant to a patient's potential participation in a clinical trial

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Annualized rate of asthma exacerbation eventsFrom baseline to week 48
Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Change from baseline in St. George's Respiratory Questionnaire (SGRQ) scoresFrom baseline to week 48

Disease-specific instrument designed to measure impact on overall health, daily life, and perceived well-being in patients with obstructive airways disease. Scores range from 0 to 100, with higher scores indicating more limitations.

Proportion of participants with ≥4-point improvement in SGRQ scoreFrom baseline to week 48
Change from baseline in Asthma Quality of Life Questionnaire Standardized for 12 years and older (AQLQ{S} +12) scoresFrom baseline to week 48
Proportion of participants with ≥0.5-point improvement in AQLQ(S)+12 domain and total scoresFrom baseline to week 48
Change from baseline in ACQ scoresFrom baseline to week 48
Incidence of participants with treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs), including local reactions, adverse events of special interests (AESIs), serious adverse events (SAEs)From baseline to week 52
Proportion of participants with ≥ 0.5-point reduction in ACQ-5 scoreFrom baseline to week 48

ACQ-5 is Asthma control questionnaire assessing symptoms. Lower score shows better asthma control

Change from baseline in ACQ-5 scoreFrom baseline to week 48
Change from baseline in FeNOFrom baseline to week 48
Annualized rate of severe asthma exacerbations requiring hospitalization or emergency room or urgent care visitFrom baseline to week 48
Average number of inhalations per day of short-acting beta 2-agoinst (SABA), Low dose ICS/formoterol or ICS/SABA for symptom reliefFrom baseline to week 48
Proportion of participants with ≥0.5-point reduction in ACQ-6 and ACQ-7 scoreFrom baseline to week 48
Serum lunsekimig concentrationsFrom baseline to week 52
Time to first asthma exacerbationFrom baseline to week 48
Anti-drug antibodies (ADA) against lunsekimigFrom baseline to week 52
Change from baseline in pre-bronchodilator (BD) FEV1From baseline to week 48
Change from baseline in post-BD FEV1From baseline to week 48
The absolute change in the percent predicted FEV1 from baseline (pre-BD and post-BD)From baseline to week 48
