Inclusion Criteria
- Participant must be 2 to <6 years of age.
- Diagnosis of asthma or recurrent severe asthmatic wheeze that is not controlled with chronic inhaled corticosteroids (ICS) for at least 3 months with stable use of at least low dose ICS for >=1 month prior to Screening Visit 1 with evidence of uncontrolled asthma and/or recurrent severe asthmatic wheeze.
- At least one additional major criterion from the modified asthma predictive index:
a) Physician diagnosed Atopic Dermatitis, b) Allergic sensitization to at least 1 aeroallergen (with a positive serum immunoglobulin E [IgE] defined as a value >=0.35 kU/L). OR 2 minor criteria: c) Wheezing unrelated to colds, d) Peripheral blood eosinophilia >=4%, e) Allergic sensitization to milk, eggs, or peanuts (defined by serum specific IgE >0.35 kU/L). - Parent(s)/caregiver(s)/legal guardian(s) willing and able to comply with clinic visits and study-related procedures.
- Parent(s)/caregiver(s)/legal guardian(s) able to understand the study requirements.
- Participants/parent(s)/caregiver(s)/legal guardian(s), as appropriate, must be able to understand and complete study-related questionnaires.
- Body weight at screening and randomization >5 kg and <30 kg.
- Parents or caregivers or legal guardian capable of giving signed informed consent.
Exclusion Criteria
Participants are excluded from the study if any of the following criteria apply:
- Severe asthma with the need for chronic oral/systemic corticosteroid use (>1 month continuous) at the time of screening enrollment.
- History of a systemic hypersensitivity reaction or anaphylaxis to biologic therapy, including any excipient.
- History of prematurity (<34 weeks gestation).
- Any other chronic lung disease that would impair lung function (eg, cystic fibrosis, bronchopulmonary dysplasia) or chronic lung disease of prematurity or need for oxygen for more than 5 days in the neonatal period.
- History of life-threatening asthma (eg, requiring intubation).
