简要总结
A study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of benralizumab administered subcutaneously in patients ≥ 6 to < 18 years of age with severe eosinophilic asthma, including a well-documented history of asthma exacerbations and uncontrolled asthma receiving high-dose inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) plus at least one additional controller medication.
详细描述
A randomised, double-blind, parallel-group, placebo-controlled, time-to-first-asthma-exacerbation event study designed.
There will be a screening period of 2 months to allow adequate time for the eligibility criteria to be evaluated. The screening period may be reduced to not lesser than 4 weeks from Visit 2a. Furthermore, the Screening Period may be extended up to 12 weeks (or longer, if deemed necessary by the investigator), to accommodate treatment.
Visit 2 will be split into Part A (Visit 2a) and Part B (Visit 2b) to reassess eligibility prior to randomisation and first dose of study treatment administration.
Patients will be randomised 1:1 to receive benralizumab or placebo.
The treatment period will consist of 2 parts: double-blind (DB) treatment period and open-label extension (OLE) period.

- •2 asthma exacerbations (defined as a requirement for systemic corticosteroids and/or hospitalisation) per year within the 2 years prior to Visit 1 AND, one or more of the following:
- •Currently on stable maintenance oral corticosteroids (OCS) used for at least 3 months prior to Visit 1, OR,
- •At least one of the 2 exacerbations that occurred in the year prior to Visit 1 resulted in hospitalisation.
- •Patients on well-documented, stable treatment for asthma with high dose ICS and at least one additional controller medication, such as long-acting β2 agonists (LABA), leukotriene receptor antagonists (LTRA), long-acting muscarinic antagonists (LAMA), or theophylline, since at least 6 months prior to Visit
- •Eosinophilic airway inflammation that is related to asthma characterised as eosinophilic in nature as indicated by peripheral blood eosinophil count of ≥ 300 cells/μL during screening OR a blood eosinophil count of 150 to 299 cells/μL and documentation of elevated eosinophils in bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL), sputum or bronchial biopsy within the 2 years prior to Visit
- •≥ 70% compliance with maintenance asthma medication during the screening period based on the Paediatric Asthma Symptom - Observer reported (PASO) or Asthma Daily Diary.
- •At least 70% daily PASO or Asthma Daily Diary completion during the entire screening period, with at least 50% PASO or Asthma Daily Diary completion in the 14-day period prior to randomisation.
- •Pre-BD FEV1 ≤ 95% of the predicted normal value or pre-BD FEV1/forced vital capacity (FVC) ratio < 0.85 required at Visit
- •Patients with ≥ 25 % increase in pre-BD FEV1 value during the screening period will be screen failed.
- •ACQ-IA ≥ 1.5 with no meaningful improvement (ACQ-IA change ≤ -0.5) between screening and Visit 2a.
- •Body weight ≥ 15 kg.
- •Females of childbearing potential (FOCBP) who are sexually active, as judged by the investigator, must commit to consistent and correct use of a highly effective method of contraception.

- •Asthma exacerbation requiring use of systemic corticosteroids or increase in maintenance dose of OCS within 2 weeks prior to Visit 2a or acute upper/lower respiratory infection that requires antibiotics or antiviral medication within 2 weeks prior to the first dose of the IP (Visit 2b).
- •Any disorder that is not stable in the opinion of the investigator and could affect the safety of the patient during the study, influence the findings of the studies or their interpretations or impede the patient's ability to complete the entire duration of the study.
- •History of anaphylaxis to any biologic therapy.
- •Current malignancy, or history of malignancy.
- •A helminth parasitic infection.
- •Use of immunosuppressive medication.
