研究概览

简要总结

This is a Phase 2a, multicentre, randomised, placebo-controlled, double-blind, parallel-group study designed to evaluate the efficacy, safety and PK of AZD4604 administered BID using the SD3FL dry-powder inhaler at one dose level over a 12-week Treatment period in adult participants with uncontrolled moderate-to-severe asthma. This study will include around 150 study sites globally.

Approximately 320 participants, with uncontrolled asthma despite receiving treatment with medium or high dose ICS-LABA at screening and at Visit 3 (Asthma Control Questionnaire-6 score ≥ 1.5) will be randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to 1 of the 2 treatment arms (AZD4604  BID or placebo). To ensure balance between the treatment arms, randomisation will be stratified based on participant’s ICS dose level at Visit 1 (medium, high) and region. AZD4604 1.4 mg and placebo will be administered BID using the SD3FL inhaler, also known and marketed as Genuair® in the Europe and Pressair® in the United States

入选标准

  • Participant must be 18 to 80 years of age inclusive, at the time of signing the informed consent.
  • Type of Participant and Disease Characteristics
  • Participants treated with medium-high dose ICS (as per GINA 2022 ICS dose level table in Appendix F) in combination with LABA at a stable dose for at least 3 months prior to Visit 1 (the ICS can be contained within an ICS-LABA fixed dose combination product).
  • Treatment with additional asthma controller therapies (eg, LAMA, LTRA) at a stable dose ≥ 3 months prior to Visit 1 is allowed.
  • Treatment with maintenance systemic corticosteroids (oral or injectable) is not allowed (see Section 5.2, Exclusion Criterion 12).
  • A documented history of ≥ 1 severe asthma exacerbation within 1 year prior to Visit
  • A severe asthma exacerbation is defined as a worsening of asthma that leads to any of the following: Use of systemic corticosteroids for at least 3 consecutive days to treat symptoms of asthma worsening (a single depo-injectable dose of corticosteroids will be considered equivalent to a 3-day bolus/burst of systemic corticosteroids).
  • An emergency room visit (defined as evaluation and treatment for < 24 hours in an emergency department) due to asthma that required systemic corticosteroids (as per the above).
  • An inpatient hospitalization (defined as admission to an inpatient facility and/or evaluation and treatment in a healthcare facility for ≥ 24 hours) due to asthma.
  • Acceptable documentation of a severe asthma exacerbation in this protocol is: Documented prescription of systemic corticosteroids for at least 3 days to treat asthma worsening (a single depo-injectable dose of corticosteroids will be considered equivalent to 3-day bolus/burst of systemic corticosteroids).
  • In participants with an established self-management plan, documented filling of a prescription will be considered adequate.
  • Clinic visit or consultation (primary or specialized HCP) notes providing evidence of ≥1 exacerbation in the previous 12 months prior to enrolment.
  • Emergency room/hospital records that the participant attended an emergency room visit (defined as evaluation and treatment for < 24 hours in an emergency department) due to asthma that required systemic corticosteroids (as per the above).
  • Discharge summaries from hospital, emergency room or urgent care facility indicating that a participant was hospitalised (defined as admission to an inpatient facility and/or evaluation and treatment in a healthcare facility for 24 hours) due to asthma
  • Morning pre-BD FEV1 between ≥ 40% and ≤ 90% predicted at Visit 1 and Visit 3 (pre-randomisation).
  • Able to perform acceptable lung function testing for FEV1 according to ATS/ERS 2019 acceptability criteria.
  • Documented evidence of asthma as demonstrated by any of the following in the 10 years up to or including Visit 1: Post-BD reversibility of FEV1 ≥ 12% and ≥ 200 mL, or Average daily variability of PEF > 10% over a 2-week period, or Variability of FEV1 > 12% and 200 mL between any 2 clinical visits, or Positive bronchial challenge test (a positive test is defined as a fall in FEV1 from pre-challenge of ≥ 20% with standard doses of methacholine or histamine, or ≥ 15% with standardised hyperventilation, hypertonic saline, or mannitol challenge), or Positive exercise challenge test (a positive test is defined as a fall in FEV1 of > 10% and > 200 mL from pre-challenge), or A FeNO test with a value of ≥ 40 ppb despite confirmed ICS maintenance therapy.
  • If documentation is not available to support any of these diagnostic criteria, and if in the opinion of the investigator the clinical diagnosis of asthma is still considered likely, the investigation and confirmation of an average daily variability of PEF > 10% over a 2-week period can also be considered as confirmatory of the diagnosis of asthma if undertaken during the period of screening and run-in
  • An ACQ-6 score ≥ 1.5 at Visit 1 and at Visit 3 (pre-randomization).
  • Body weight of ≥ 40 kg and body mass index of < 35 kg/m
  • Sex and Contraceptive/Barrier Requirements
  • Male and/or female Contraceptive use by females should be consistent with local regulations regarding the methods of contraception for those participating in clinical studies.
  • There are no restrictions on male participants or their female partners.
  • Females not of childbearing potential are defined as females who are either permanently sterilised (hysterectomy, bilateral oophorectomy, or bilateral salpingectomy), or who are postmenopausal.
  • The following age-specific requirements apply: Females < 50 years old would be considered postmenopausal if they have been amenorrhoeic for 12 months or more following cessation of exogenous hormonal treatment and follicle-stimulating hormone levels in the postmenopausal range.
  • Females ≥ 50 years old would be considered postmenopausal if they have been amenorrhoeic for 12 months or more following cessation of all exogenous hormonal treatment.
  • All FOCBP who are sexually active with a non-sterilised male partner must agree to use one highly effective method of birth control, as defined below, for a minimum of 3 months prior to Visit 1 and throughout entire duration of the study, and for 1 month after the last dose of IMP.
  • Cessation of contraception after this point should be discussed with a responsible physician.
  • A highly effective method of contraception is defined as one that can achieve a failure rate of < 1% per year when used consistently and correctly.
  • The following are not acceptable methods of contraception: Periodic abstinence (calendar, symptothermal, post-ovulation methods), declaration of abstinence for the duration of exposure to IMP, withdrawal (coitus interruptus), spermicides only, and lactational amenorrhoea.
  • Female condom and male condom should not be used together.
  • All FOCBP must have a negative serum pregnancy test result at Visit 1 Highly effective birth control methods include: Total sexual abstinence is an acceptable method provided it is the usual lifestyle of the participant (defined as refraining from heterosexual intercourse during the entire period of risk associated with the IMP), a vasectomised partner, Implanon, bilateral tubal occlusion, intrauterine device/levonorgestrel intrauterine system, Depo-Provera injections, oral contraceptive, and Evra Patch, Xulane, or NuvaRing Informed Consent
