Extension Study to Evaluate the Safety and Tolerability of Tezepelumab in Adults and Adolescents With Severe, Uncontrolled Asthma
Condition: Asthma
MeSH terms: Asthma
Intervention: Tezepelumab; Placebo
Intervention description: Tezepelumab subcutaneous injection; Placebo subcutaneous injection
Phase: Phase 3
Study type: Interventional
Primary purpose: Treatment
Allocation: Randomized
Intervention model: Parallel Assignment
Intervention model description: Subjects previously randomized in one of the predecessor studies to tezepelumab will be assigned and remain on tezepelumab dosing in the Destination Study.
Subjects randomized to placebo arm in the predecessor studies will be re-randomized in a 1:1 ratio to either tezepelumab or placebo.
Given the randomization scheme of subjects in the predecessor studies, this will give an overall subject distribution of 3:1 (tezepelumab:placebo), assuming a similar number of subjects rollover from each arm in the predecessor studies.
Masking: Triple (Participant, Care Provider, Investigator)
Masking description: Double-Blind
Enrollment: 951.0
Sex: All
Minimum age: 13 Years
Maximum age: 81 Years
Healthy volunteers: No
Keywords: Asthma, Uncontrolled Asthma, Severe Uncontrolled Asthma

      consent for the Multicentre, Double-blind, Randomized, Placebo Controlled, Parallel Group,
      Phase 3, Safety Extension Study to Evaluate the Safety and Tolerability of Tezepelumab in
      Adults and Adolescents with Severe Uncontrolled Asthma. The study consists of a treatment
      phase, followed by a follow-up phase where subjects will not receive IP. The length of the
