Overview
This is a Phase 2, randomized, multicenter study in adult and adolescent participants with asthma and type 2 inflammation
Description
This is a Phase 2, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group, interventional trial in participants with an acute asthma exacerbation with type 2 inflammation to compare rademikibart plus standard therapy to standard therapy alone (plus placebo), targeting an acute asthma exacerbation in the urgent healthcare setting.

- For participants in a stable condition, must have a documented historical peripheral blood eosinophil count of ≥250 cells/μL and/or FeNO ≥ 25 ppb.
- Current acute asthma exacerbation requiring an urgent healthcare visit for treatment.
- Peripheral blood eosinophil count of ≥300 cells/µL as part of the assessment of an index acute asthma exacerbation.
- Requires systemic corticosteroid as SoC in the urgent healthcare setting to treat the current acute asthma exacerbation.
