Study
population
Adults (≥18 years) with
moderate-to-severe asthma
on a standard of care of
medium- or high-dose ICS
and a long-acting beta agonist
Subjects enrolled in DRI12544 were required to have,
within 1 year of trial enrollment, treatment with systemic corticosteroids
for worsening asthma at least once, or ED visit or hospitalization for
worsening asthma
The total
population of patients in DRI12544, QUEST, and VENTURE was unrestricted by
minimum baseline blood eosinophil count. In QUEST and VENTURE, subjects with
baseline blood eosinophil levels >1500 cells/μL were excluded.
Subjects continued background asthma therapy throughout the duration of the
studies, except in VENTURE in which OCS dose was reduced every 4 weeks
during the OCS reduction phase (Weeks 4-20), as long as asthma control was
maintained
