Depemokimab Asthma Imaging and Bronchoscopy Sub-Study
Sponsor:

GlaxoSmithKline

Brief Summary:

Asthma is a chronic condition marked by narrowed and swollen airways due to inflammation leading to recurring symptoms that can vary and worsen unpredictably. The purpose of this study is to assess how depemokimab, a monoclonal antibody, affects the structure and function of the lungs in asthmatic participants with type 2 inflammation, characterized by an eosinophilic phenotype.

Criteria
Inclusion Criteria
  • * Documented physician diagnosis of asthma for greater than or equal to (\>=) 2 years as per the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute guidelines (NHLBI, 2020) or GINA guidelines along with the following: A T2 phenotype as evidenced by a blood eosinophil count of \>=300 cells/microliters (mcL) at screening or a documented history of blood eosinophil count \>=300 cells/mcL within 3 months prior to screening and Exhaled nitric oxide (FeNO) measure of \>=25 parts per billion (ppb) recorded at screening;

  • * Uncontrolled asthma indicated by Astha Control Questionnaire-5 (ACQ-5) greater than (\>) 1.5 recorded at screening
  • * Persistent airflow obstruction as indicated by pre-bronchodilator Forced Expiration Volume in 1 second (FEV1) less than (\<) 80 percentage (%) predicted (GLI 2012) and recorded at screening
  • * A well-documented requirement for regular treatment with medium or high dose ICS (in the 12 months prior to screening with or without maintenance oral corticosteroids \[OCS\])
  • * Current treatment with at least one additional asthma controller medication, besides ICS, for at least 3 months \[for example, Long-acting Beta 2 agonists \[LABA\], Long-acting muscarinic antagonists \[LAMA\], leukotriene receptor antagonist (LTRA), or theophylline\]
  • * Male Participants: No additional requirements for male participants
  • * A female participant is eligible to participate if she is not pregnant or breastfeeding, and one of the following conditions applies: is a woman of non-childbearing potential (WONCBP) or is a woman of childbearing potential (WOCBP) and using a contraceptive method that is highly effective (with a failure rate of \<1% per year), with low user dependency,
  • * A WOCBP must have a negative highly sensitive pregnancy test (urine or serum as required by local regulations) within 24 hours before the first dose of study intervention
  • * Capable of giving written informed consent,
  • * For the biopsy sub study participants who sign the Informed Consent for the bronchoscopy sub study, the following additional eligibility criteria will apply
    • * Participants not on maintenance OCS (oral corticosteroids) at the time of screening.
    • * Participants with post bronchodilator FEV1 \>= 50% predicted
    • * Participants with no known increased risk for bleeding or clotting abnormalities including: No history of easy bleeding, bruising or known bleeding diathesis; No current anticoagulant and antiplatelet therapy; No acetylsalicylic acid use within 2 weeks of the planned procedure; Normal screening platelet count

    • * No history of allergic reaction to local anesthesia or general anesthetic agent, whichever is relevant to the procedure being performed
    Exclusion Criteria
    • * Presence of a known pre-existing, clinically important lung condition other than asthma. This includes (but is not limited to) current infection, bronchiectasis, pulmonary fibrosis, bronchopulmonary aspergillosis, or a history of lung cancer. Participants with current diagnoses of emphysema or chronic bronchitis (Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease \[COPD\] other than asthma) are excluded
    • * Participants with other conditions that could lead to elevated eosinophils such as hyper eosinophilic syndromes including (but not limited to) Eosinophilic Granulomatosis with Polyangiitis (EGPA, formerly known as Churg-Strauss Syndrome) or eosinophilic esophagitis
    • * Participants who developed an exacerbation within 4 weeks before screening
    • * Participants with a known, pre-existing parasitic infestation within 6 months prior to screening unless treated and evidenced to have been resolved
    • * A known immunodeficiency (e.g. human immunodeficiency virus HIV), other than that explained by the use of corticosteroids (CSs) taken as therapy for asthma
    • * A current malignancy or previous history of cancer in remission for less than 12 months prior to screening
    • * Participants who have known, pre-existing, clinically significant cardiac, endocrine, autoimmune, metabolic, neurological, psychiatric, renal, gastrointestinal, hepatic, hematologic or any other system abnormalities that are uncontrolled with standard treatment
    • * Participants with current diagnosis of vasculitis
    • * Participants who have received mepolizumab, reslizumab, or benralizumab within 12 months prior to screening or who have a previous documented failure with anti-IL-5/5R therapy
    • * Participants who have received omalizumab (Xolair), dupilumab (Dupixent) or tezepelumab (Tezspire) within 12 months prior to the screening
