ACTIVE_NOT_RECRUITING

A Study to Investigate the Efficacy and Safety of Verekitug (UPB-101) in Adult Participants With Severe Asthma (VALIANT)

Study Overview

This clinical trial focuses on testing the efficacy of different digital interventions to promote re-engagement in cancer-related long-term follow-up care for adolescent and young adult (AYA) survivors of childhood cancer.

Description

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of verekitug (UPB-101) in participants with severe asthma. The study will evaluate the incidence of asthma exacerbations, other pharmacodynamic (PD) parameters such as lung function and asthma control, and the safety and tolerability of verekitug (UPB-101) compared to placebo.

Official Title

A Phase 2, Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled, Multi-center, Dose-ranging Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of Verekitug (UPB-101) in Adult Participants With Severe Asthma (VALIANT)

  5. * Documented treatment with a total daily dose of either medium or high dose inhaled corticosteroids (ICS) for at least 3 months. Participants on medium dose ICS must also have been taking at least one additional maintenance asthma controller medication for at least 3 months.
  6. * Documented history of asthma exacerbation(s) within 12 months of Visit 1.
  7. * Asthma Control Questionnaire-6 (ACQ-6) score greater than or equal to (\>=) 1.5 at screening and randomization.
  8. * Participant must have a pre-BD FEV1 value of \>=30 percent (%) and \<=80% predicted at Screening.
  9. * Minimum compliance with daily diary and background asthma medication(s) as captured in the daily diary during the Run-in Period.
  10. * Agrees to follow the required contraceptive techniques/methods.
  11. * Female or male participant agrees not to donate eggs or sperm, respectively, for a period of 120 days after the last dose of the study drug intervention or at the Final Visit, whichever occurs last.
  1. * Inpatient hospitalization due to asthma at any time within 4 weeks prior to Visit 1 or during the Screening/Run-in Period.
  2. * Previous exposure to verekitug (UPB-101) or known allergy/sensitivity to any of its excipients.
  3. * Previous biologics, including those for asthma treatment, for which the appropriate washout period is not fulfilled prior to Visit 1. If the half-life is not known, a 24-week washout period prior to Visit 1 should be applied.
  4. * Allergen immunotherapy (unless maintenance dose) within 12 weeks prior to Visit 1 or plans to begin therapy or change dosing during the study.
  5. * For participants taking oral corticosteroids (OCS), the dose has not been stable for at least 2 weeks prior to Visit 1 and/or is \>10 milligram (mg) daily, or \>20 mg every other day.
  6. * Evidence of active or suspected bacterial, viral, fungal, or parasitic infections within 2 weeks prior to Visit 1.
  7. * History compatible with or diagnosis of a parasitic infection and has not been treated or has not responded to standard of care therapy.
  8. * Current tobacco smokers, nicotine vapers (including electronic cigarettes), snuff users or participants with a smoking history \>=10 pack years. (Former nicotine smokers with a smoking history of \<10 pack years, former nicotine vapers and former snuff users must have stopped for at least 6 months prior to Visit 1 to be eligible).
  9. * Positive coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) test with lower respiratory tract symptoms within 28 days before Visit 1.
