Requirements for the patient

To 99 Years
All Gender

Medical requirements

Signed informed consent form and assent form, as appropriate.
Male or female ≥12 years of age at Screening Visit 1.
Documented physician diagnosis of asthma for ≥12 months prior to Screening Visit 1.
Eosinophil count of ≥0.30x10⁹/L at Screening Visit 1.
If the initial value is between 0.250x10⁹/L to 0.299x10⁹/L, then this may be repeated once at an unscheduled visit prior to Screening Visit 2.
Participants must satisfy all the below (items a to c).
Participants who have received asthma controller medication with medium or high dose inhaled corticosteroids on a regular basis for at least 12 months prior to Screening Visit 1.
Documented treatment with a stable dose of either medium or high dose ICS for at least 3 months prior to Visit 1.
The ICS may be contained within an ICS/long-acting β2 agonist combination product.
Daily oral corticosteroids are an allowed concomitant medication.
Participants on daily oral corticosteroids must be on a stable dose for 3 months before Screening Visit 1.
Use of one or more additional daily maintenance asthma controller medications according to standard practice of care is required.
Use of a stable dose of any additional asthma controller medications must be documented for at least 3 months prior to Screening Visit 1.
Pre-BD FEV₁ ≥40% and <80% (<90% for participants 12 to 17 years of age) of predicted at Screening Visit 2.
Variable airflow obstruction documented with at least one of the following criteria.
Bronchodilator reversibility at Screening Visit 2, as evidenced by ≥12% and ≥200 mL improvement in FEV₁.
This is measured 15 to 30 minutes following inhalation of 400 µg of albuterol/salbutamol.
Participants who do not meet the bronchodilator reversibility inclusion criterion but have ≥10% and ≥160 mL reversibility may repeat the reversibility spirometry assessment once during the Screening period.
This assessment must occur at an unscheduled visit at least 7 days prior to baseline.
Bronchodilator reversibility, using the criteria above, documented in the past 24 months prior to Screening Visit 1.
Peak flow variation of ≥20% over a 2-week period, documented in the past 24 months prior to Screening Visit 1.
Airflow variability in clinic FEV₁ ≥20% between two consecutive clinic visits, documented in the past 24 months prior to Screening Visit 1.
Airway hyperresponsiveness documented in the past 24 months prior to Screening Visit 1.
ACQ-6 ≥1.5 at Screening Visit 2.
Documented history of at least two asthma exacerbations requiring treatment with systemic corticosteroids within the past 12-month period prior to Screening Visit 1.
Negative urine pregnancy test for women of childbearing potential at the Screening and Baseline visits.
Women of childbearing potential must use either of the following methods of birth control, from Screening Visit 1 through the End of Study Visit.
A highly effective form of birth control must be confirmed by the investigator.
Highly effective forms of birth control include: true sexual abstinence, a vasectomized sexual partner, Implanon, female sterilization by tubal occlusion, any effective Intrauterine device, IUD/intrauterine system, Levonorgestrel Intrauterine system, or oral contraceptive.
Two protocol acceptable methods of contraception in tandem are also acceptable.
Women not of childbearing potential are defined as women who are either permanently sterilized or who are postmenopausal.
Women will be considered postmenopausal if they have been amenorrheic for ≥12 months prior to the planned date of the Baseline Visit without an alternative medical cause.
Women <50 years old will be considered postmenopausal if they have been amenorrheic for 12 months or more following cessation of exogenous hormonal treatment.
Women ≥50 years old will be considered postmenopausal if they have been amenorrheic for 12 months or more following cessation of all exogenous hormonal treatment.
A participant who experiences a severe asthma exacerbation at any time from 4 weeks prior to Screening Visit 1 up to and including the Baseline Visit.
Participants who experience an asthma exacerbation during the Screening/Run-in Period may remain in screening and proceed with study visits 14 days after they have completed their course of oral steroids or returned to their pre-Screening Visit maintenance dose of oral steroids.
Current diagnosis of diseases which may confound interpretation of this study's findings.
This includes allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis, eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis, eosinophilic gastrointestinal diseases, hypereosinophilic syndrome, or lung diseases.
Respiratory infection: Upper or lower respiratory tract, sinus, or middle ear infection within the 4 weeks before Screening Visit 1.
Treatment with a biologic investigational drug in the last 5 months prior to Screening Visit 1.
Treatment with non-biologic investigational drugs in the previous 30 days or five-half-lives prior to Screening Visit 1, whichever is longer.
Treatment with GSK3511294 in the past 12 months.
Treatment with any of the following monoclonal antibody therapies within 120 days prior to Baseline: benralizumab, dupilumab, mepolizumab, reslizumab, omalizumab, tezepelumab, or tralokinumab.
Treatment with pramipexole within 30 days of Baseline.
Treatment with selected drugs known to have a substantial risk of neutropenia in the past 30 days prior to Screening Visit 1.
Bronchial thermoplasty procedure in the past 12 months prior to Screening Visit 1 or planned during the coming year.
Weight <40 kg at Screening Visit 1.
Current smoking within 12 months prior to Screening Visit 1 or a smoking history of >10 pack-years.
Known or suspected alcohol or drug abuse.
Uncontrolled severe hypertension: systolic blood pressure >180 mmHg or diastolic blood pressure >110 mmHg prior to Baseline Visit despite anti-hypertensive therapy.
History of malignancy that required surgery, radiation therapy and/or systemic therapy during the 5 years prior to Baseline Visit.
History of human immunodeficiency virus infection or chronic infection with hepatitis B or C.
A helminth parasitic infection diagnosed within 24 weeks prior Screening Visit 1 that has not been treated with or has failed to respond to standard of care therapy.
Medical or other condition likely to interfere with participant's ability to undergo study procedures, adhere to visit schedule, or comply with study requirements.
Known or suspected noncompliance with medication.
Unwillingness or inability to follow the procedures outlined in the protocol.
