A Study of CM310 in Subjects With Moderate to Severe Asthma

This study is a multi-center, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled Phase Ⅱ/Ⅲ clinical study to evaluate the efficacy, safety, PK characteristics, PD effects and immunogenicity of CM310 in subjects with moderate to severe asthma.

The study consists of three periods, including an up to 4-week screening period, a 52-week randomized treatment period, and a 4-week safety follow-up period.

7. Underwent bronchial thermoplasty within 12 months before informed consent.
8. Current smokers or former smokers who quit smoking less than 6 months or former smokers who quit smoking more than 6 months with a smoking history of more than 10 pack-years.

11. Previous history of known or suspected immunosuppression, including a history of invasive opportunistic infection, even if the infection has resolved; Or the presence of unusual frequent, recurrent, or prolonged infections.
12. History of malignancy: subjects with basal cell carcinoma, localized squamous cell carcinoma of the skin, or carcinoma in situ of the cervix are eligible to enter the study if they have completed curative treatment for at least 12 months before signing the informed consent. Subjects with other malignancies are allowed to enter the study if they have completed curative treatment for at least 5 years before signing the informed consent.
13. The presence of any severe and/or uncontrolled medical condition that in the judgment of the investigator may affect the evaluation of the drug, including but not limited to: severe neurological disease, history of severe mental disorder, major cardiovascular disease, diabetes mellitus poorly controlled by intensive treatment, QTcF interval prolongation, or persistent arrhythmia.
