Amendment 02: 08 Apr 2022 
This amendment is considered to be substantial based on the criteria set forth in Article 
10(a) of Directive 2001/20/EC of the European Parliament and the Council of the 
European Union. 
Overall Rationale for the Amendment:  
Amendment 02 is a global amendment to include details about 
 
 
 and the use of blinded interim data to complete a psychometric analysis 
of the Asthma Daily/Nightly Symptom Diary (ADSD/ANSD) and 
. 
Additional changes include repeated spirometry assessment and/or additional lab test if 
randomisation criteria are not met during screening, change in the ratio of medium/high 
ICS dose, allowance/permittance of authorized COVID-19 treatments, Global Initiative 
for Asthma (GINA) inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) doses update, and QT prolongation 
clarifications. Added note for exclusion of adolescents in Germany, United Kingdom 
(UK), Russia. Text added related to special procedure for the urinalysis in China sites.

PROTOCOL SUMMARY 
1.1. 
Synopsis 
Protocol Title: A 52-week, randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group, 
multi-centre study of the efficacy and safety of GSK3511294 adjunctive therapy in adult 
and adolescent participants with severe uncontrolled asthma with an eosinophilic 
phenotype  
Brief Title: Placebo-controlled efficacy and safety study of GSK3511294 (depemokimab) 
in participants with severe asthma with an eosinophilic phenotype 
Rationale: 
GSK3511294 is being developed as a long-acting (LA) subcutaneous (SC) injectable anti-
interleukin-5 (anti-IL-5) therapy and is expected to deliver an efficacy and safety profile 
similar to current anti-IL-5 therapies with a reduced dosing frequency (once every 26 
weeks). The aim of this study is to investigate the efficacy and safety, over a 52-week 
treatment period, of GSK3511294 100 mg SC given once every 26 weeks as adjunctive 
therapy in participants with uncontrolled severe asthma with an eosinophilic phenotype. 
Objectives and Endpoints:  
Objectives 
Endpoints 
Primary 
 
• To evaluate the efficacy of GSK3511294 
100 mg (SC) every 26 weeks versus 
placebo in participants with severe 
uncontrolled asthma with an eosinophilic 
phenotype on top of existing asthma 
therapy 
• Annualised rate of clinically significant 
exacerbationsa over 52 weeks 
Secondary 
 
• To evaluate GSK3511294 100 mg (SC) 
every 26 weeks versus placebo on health-
related quality of life (HRQoL) and 
additional efficacy assessments on top of 
existing asthma therapy 
• Change from baseline in St. George's 
Respiratory Questionnaire (SGRQ) total 
score at Week 52  
• Change from baseline in Asthma Control 
Questionnaire-5 (ACQ-5) score at Week 52 
• Change from baseline in pre-bronchodilator 
forced expiratory volume in one second 
(FEV1) at Week 52 
• Annualised rate of exacerbations requiring 
hospitalisation and/or Emergency 
Department (ED) visit over 52 weeks 
a. Clinically significant exacerbations will be defined as worsening of asthma requiring the use 
of systemic corticosteroids (IM, IV or oral) and/or hospitalisation and/or ED visit (see Section 
8.2.2). For all participants, IV or oral steroids (e.g., prednisone) for at least 3 days or a single 
IM CS dose is required. For participants on maintenance systemic CSs, at least double the 
existing maintenance dose for at least 3 days is required.

Overall Design: 
This study employs a multi-centre, randomised, placebo-controlled, double-blind, parallel 
group design to assess the efficacy and safety of GSK3511294 in participants with severe 
uncontrolled asthma with an eosinophilic phenotype despite standard of care (SoC) 
treatment with medium to high dose inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) plus at least one 
additional controller. All participants will receive study intervention as an adjunct therapy 
while remaining on their existing asthma therapy throughout the study. 
Brief Summary: 
The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy and safety of GSK3511294 as an 
adjunctive therapy in participants with severe uncontrolled asthma with an eosinophilic 
phenotype. During the 52-week treatment period, participants will receive two doses (at 
Week 0 and Week 26) of add-on study intervention (GSK3511294 100 mg or matching 
placebo) by SC injection, while remaining on their existing maintenance asthma therapy 
(that excludes biologics) throughout the study. Assessments will include the annualised 
rate of clinically significant exacerbations and measures of lung function, asthma control, 
and safety. 
Number of Participants: 
Approximately 540 participants with severe uncontrolled asthma with an eosinophilic 
phenotype will be screened to ensure the randomisation of 375 participants in a 2:1 ratio 
to GSK3511294 (n=250) and matching placebo (n=125).  
Intervention Groups and Duration: 
The study will consist of a pre-screen period (0-2 weeks), a run-in period (1-6 weeks), and 
a study intervention period (52 weeks). After the run-in period, participants will be 
randomised in a 2:1 ratio using an interactive response technology (IRT) system in a 
blinded manner to receive either GSK3511294 100 mg or placebo by SC injection. 
Randomisation will be stratified based on baseline ICS dose (medium or high dose). Two 
doses of study intervention will be administered in the clinic: the first at randomisation 
Visit 2 (Week 0) and the second at Visit 10 (Week 26). Participants will be assessed at 
each scheduled visit (a total of 17 study visits) during the 52-week treatment phase. Study 
visits may be conducted remotely (by a home healthcare professional) or virtually, 
however, in-person clinic visits are required for the following: pre-screening Visit 0, 
screening Visit 1, randomisation Visit 2, Visit 3, Visit 10, Visit 11 Exit Visit 17, and WS 
Visit (if applicable).  
Participants who receive both doses of study intervention and complete the Exit Visit will 
be eligible to participate in an open-label extension (OLE) study (Study 212895), during 
which they will receive two doses of open-label GSK3511294 100 mg SC over another 52 
weeks. Participants who do not enter the OLE study will have a follow-up visit/call at 
Week 56.

INTRODUCTION 
2.1. 
Study Rationale  
Anti-IL-5 therapies have an established efficacy and long-term safety profile and are a 
cornerstone of severe asthma management for patients with an eosinophilic phenotype 
[GINA, 2020]. Three antagonists of IL-5 (mepolizumab and reslizumab) or its receptor 
(IL-5R) (benralizumab) are approved for severe asthma with an eosinophilic phenotype, 
as an add-on treatment administered every 4 to 8 weeks.  
GSK3511294 (depemokimab) is being developed as a LA SC injectable anti-IL-5 therapy 
and is anticipated to deliver an efficacy and safety profile similar to current anti-IL-5 
therapies with a reduced dosing frequency (once every 26 weeks). The aim of this study 
is to investigate the efficacy and safety, over a 52-week treatment period, of 
GSK3511294 100 mg SC given once every 26 weeks as adjunctive therapy to 
participants with uncontrolled severe asthma with an eosinophilic phenotype. 
2.2. 
Background 
Persistent eosinophil inflammation is a feature of more than 50% of patients with severe 
asthma [Chung, 2014]. Several monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) targeting eosinophil 
inflammation have received marketing authorisation for asthma with an eosinophilic 
phenotype, including 3 targeting either interleukin-5 (IL-5) or its receptor (IL-5R): 
mepolizumab (Nucala), reslizumab (Cinqair/Cinqaero), and benralizumab (Fasenra). All 
three, by utilising blood eosinophils as a biomarker to predict patients likely to respond to 
therapy, have been shown to reduce asthma exacerbations, and improve lung function and 
health-related quality of life (HRQoL), in patients with asthma with an eosinophilic 
phenotype [Haldar, 2009; Castro, 2011; Pavord, 2012; Bel, 2014; Ortega, 2014; Castro, 
2015; Bleecker, 2016; FitzGerald, 2016; Chupp, 2017].  
Evidence supporting the tolerability of targeting IL-5/5R is provided by long-term 
extension studies for mepolizumab [Lugogo, 2016; Khatri, 2019; Khurana, 2019], 
reslizumab [Murphy, 2017], and benralizumab [Busse, 2019] as well as efficacy data in 
real-world evidence settings for mepolizumab [Harrison, 2020; Bagnasco, 2019; Pertzov, 
2019; Schleich, 2020]. Clinical trial data over more than 10 years combined with real-
world evidence, have demonstrated that treatments targeting the IL-5 pathway are both 
highly effective and well-tolerated. Based on this established efficacy and safety, anti-IL-
5/5R therapies are now a cornerstone of severe asthma management and are endorsed by 
international guidelines for appropriate patients that continue to exacerbate despite 
optimised care with Step 4 or Step 5 treatment (medium and high dose ICS) [GINA, 
2020]. 
GSK3511294 is a humanised, affinity matured mAb that blocks human IL-5 binding to 
its receptor and belongs to the established class of anti-IL-5 therapies for severe asthma 
management. 
 
 
. The resulting 
antibody has increased affinity and half-life. Evidence to date indicate that these amino 
acid changes extend the pharmacokinetics (PK) and pharmacology of GSK3511294 to

enable less frequent dosing with an anticipated similar efficacy and safety profile relative 
to mepolizumab (administered chronically).  
Long-acting alternatives that can be administered on a less frequent basis are recognised 
as successful approaches for chronic indications. As a LA anti-IL-5 therapy, 
GSK3511294 is anticipated to have an efficacy and safety profile that is similar to those 
of the currently-approved therapies in its class, but with a single administration every 
26 weeks, as opposed to the current regimen of every 4 weeks for mepolizumab and 
reslizumab, or every 8 weeks for benralizumab (every 4 weeks for the first 3 doses).  
A detailed description of the chemistry, pharmacology, and safety of GSK3511294 is 
provided in the current Investigator’s Brochure (IB) [GlaxoSmithKline Document 
Number 2016N295843_03 or later].

Risk Assessment 
Potential Risk of Clinical Significance 
Summary of Data/Rationale for Risk 
Mitigation Strategy 
Study Intervention GSK3511294 
• Allergic reactions including anaphylaxis. 
• Allergic reactions with the most severe form 
being anaphylaxis (see Appendix 8), are 
potential risks associated with mAbs. 
• No allergic reactions or anaphylaxis have 
been reported with GSK3511294 in FTIH 
study 205722 in participants with mild to 
moderate asthma. One participant reported 
an event under Hypersensitivity SMQ with 
preferred term of rash verbatim “localised 
rash both bends of arms”, 82 days post 30 
mg SC dose of GSK3511294. The event 
was non-serious, of mild intensity, resolved 
within 10 days and was considered 
unrelated to the study intervention by the 
investigator. 
 
• Daily monitoring of serious adverse events 
(SAEs) by Medical Monitor/SAE 
coordinator; regular systematic review of 
adverse event (AE)/SAE data from ongoing 
studies by a GSK safety review team. 
• Use of Joint NIAID/FAAN 2nd 
Symposium on Anaphylaxis to collect data 
on reports of anaphylaxis (see Appendix 8). 
• Participants will be monitored in clinic for 
immediate hypersensitivity and any other 
untoward effects for a minimum of 2 hours 
post-injection (both at randomisation and at 
Week 26). In the event of an acute severe 
reaction (e.g., anaphylaxis) following 
administration of study intervention, there 
are personnel/staff onsite at the treatment 
facility who are appropriately trained in 
basic life support to manage the participant 
including administration of medications 
(e.g., epinephrine), and have access to a 
system that can promptly transport the 
participant to another facility for additional 
care if appropriate. 
• An independent data monitoring committee 
(IDMC) will review unblinded safety data 
at regular intervals.

Potential Risk of Clinical Significance 
Summary of Data/Rationale for Risk 
Mitigation Strategy 
• Participants with severe allergic 
reaction/anaphylaxis with no alternative 
explanation after the first dose will not 
receive another dose. 
• Type III Hypersensitivity (Immune complex 
disease/vasculitis) 
• Adverse effects of vascular inflammation 
consistent with immune complex disease 
were observed in 1 female monkey in the 
1-month toxicity study after administration 
of 10 mg/kg. A further monkey had a 
minimal focal inflammation after 
administration of 100 mg/kg. Immune 
complex disease was not observed in the 
6-month repeat dose (2 doses) study at the 
same doses. It is unknown if this will 
translate to humans as preclinical models 
are not necessarily predictive of clinical 
findings in humans. 
• No AEs of Type III hypersensitivity have 
been reported with GSK3511294 in FTIH 
study 205722 in participants with mild to 
moderate asthma (36 participants received 
GSK3511294; 12 participants received 
placebo). 
• Participants with current diagnosis of 
vasculitis will be excluded. Participants 
with high clinical suspicion of vasculitis at 
screening will be evaluated and excluded 
from enrolment if diagnosed (Section 5.2). 
• Daily monitoring of SAEs will be done by 
Medical Monitor/SAE coordinator; regular 
systematic review of adverse event 
(AE)/SAE data from ongoing studies will be 
performed by a GSK safety review team. 
• IDMC will review unblinded safety data at 
regular intervals; any events suggestive of 
immune complex disease will be reviewed 
by a rheumatologist (member of the IDMC).   
• Protocol guidance on early identification of 
vasculitis events is provided (see 
Section 7.5). 
• Participants with confirmed vasculitis or 
suspected vasculitis with no alternative 
explanation after the first dose will not 
receive another dose of study intervention 
(see Section 7.1).

Potential Risk of Clinical Significance 
Summary of Data/Rationale for Risk 
Mitigation Strategy 
• Immunogenicity, anti-drug antibodies 
(ADAs) 
• Biopharmaceutical products may elicit 
ADAs and neutralising antibodies (NAb), 
which have the potential to modulate PK or 
pharmacodynamics (PD), or to produce 
adverse reactions.  
• In FTIH study 205722, none of the 
participants tested positive for ADA at 
baseline. Overall, 9 participants (25%) had 
confirmed positive results for ADA at any 
time post-baseline, primarily in the 
GSK3511294 30 mg dose group (5 
participants), which was also the group with 
the highest total serum IL-5 concentrations. 
This apparent correlation warrants further 
investigation. There were no major 
differences observed in the GSK3511294 
plasma concentration profiles and blood 
eosinophil count-time profiles as well as AE 
reporting between ADA-positive and ADA-
negative participants. Neutralising 
antibodies were not tested in this study.  
• Blood samples will be collected for 
detection of both ADA and NAb (see 
Section 8.8). 
• Local injection site reactions 
• A potential risk of any drug delivered via 
injection. 
• No injection site reactions were noted in the 
preclinical studies. 
• In the GSK3511294 FTIH study 205722, 
injection site reactions were reported by one 
(3%) participant who received 
• Daily monitoring of SAEs by Medical 
Monitor/SAE coordinator; regular 
systematic review of AE/SAE data from 
ongoing studies by GSK study team and/or 
GSK safety review team. 
• The IDMC will review unblinded safety 
data at regular intervals.

GSK3511294 and one (8%) participant who 
received placebo. 
• QTc prolongation 
• Four monkeys in the 6-month repeat dose 
monkey study administered 100 mg/kg 
every 3 months (2 doses) were observed to 
have QTc prolongation (mean change of 18 
msec relative to vehicle control value) 
during Week 14. 
• 
In the GSK3511294 FTIH study (205722), 
no treatment effect for ECG parameters 
including corrected QT interval (QTcF) 
was observed across the GSK3511294 
treatment groups (n=36). No participants 
met QTcF protocol specified criteria (QTcF 
>500 msec or increase from baseline >60 
msec, or uncorrected QT >600 msec) that 
would require additional monitoring. 
• Analysis of the relationship between 
GSK3511294 plasma concentrations and 
change from baseline QTcF data collected 
in FTIH 205722 study did not reveal any 
clinically or statistically significant trends of 
concern with increasing GSK3511294 dose 
up to 300 mg. The predicted increase in 
mean QTcF change from baseline with 
GSK3511294 plasma concentrations point 
estimates remained below 10 msec [FDA, 
2005] up to concentrations of 100 ug/mL, 
with a 95% lower CI consistent with zero 
change from baseline (i.e. the 95% lower 
• ECGs will be performed according to 
timepoints specified in the SoA 
(Section 1.3) and the assessment will be 
done as specified in Section 8.3.3. 
• Participants with QTc prolongation on 
screening will be excluded (criterion 15, 
Section 5.2). 
• Participants with a pre-existing clinically 
significant cardiac medical condition are 
excluded (criterion 7, Section 5.2). 
• Participants who meet QT stopping criteria 
as specified in Section 7.1.2 will not receive 
another dose of study intervention. 
• The IDMC will review unblinded safety 
data at regular intervals.

bound of the CI is below zero) [GSK 
Document Number: 2020N457410_00]. 
• Risk of GSK3511294 affecting an unborn 
baby. 
• Reproductive studies have not been 
conducted with GSK3511294; however, in 
the 6-month repeat dose monkey study no 
changes were observed in reproductive 
organs. Seminiferous tubules were 
evaluated with respect to their stage in the 
spermatogenic cycle and the integrity of the 
various cell types present within the 
different stages in sexually mature males. 
No cell or stage specific abnormalities were 
noted.   
• In addition, there is a low reproductive risk 
associated with the IL-5 target mechanism 
(as shown in pre-clinical reproductive 
toxicology studies of mepolizumab and  
reslizumab), a low genotoxic concern for 
mAbs in general, and a low transfer of 
mAbs into semen due to the inability of 
large molecular weight proteins such as 
GSK3511294 to access pivotal cells in the 
testes [Setchell, 1975; Pollanen, 1995; 
Pollanen, 1989; Setchell, 2001; Sohn, 
2016], the risk of adverse effects on 
spermatogenesis is considered minimal. 
Therefore, male participants are not required 
to use contraception. 
• Participants who are pregnant, 
breastfeeding, or plan to become pregnant at 
Screening are excluded (criterion 19, 
Section 5.2). Participants who become 
pregnant during the study will not receive 
another dose of study intervention (see 
Section 7.1).  
• All female participants will be assessed at 
screening to determine childbearing status. 
Female participants of childbearing 
potential must be using a highly effective 
contraceptive method from at least 14 days 
prior to first dose and until 30 weeks after 
the last administered dose as described in 
Section 10.4.2.

2.3.2. 
Benefit Assessment 
Current clinical data from approved anti-IL-5/5R mAbs (mepolizumab, reslizumab, and 
benralizumab) demonstrate clinical utility in the treatment of conditions associated with 
elevated eosinophil levels, such as severe asthma with an eosinophilic phenotype. 
Mepolizumab 100 mg SC (every 4 weeks) is approved as an add-on maintenance 
treatment for severe asthma with an eosinophilic phenotype. The safety profile of 
mepolizumab is favourable. 
As a LA anti-IL-5 mAb, GSK3511294 is anticipated to provide the same clinical benefit 
with a similar safety profile compared with mepolizumab and others in its class and with 
the added benefit of an extended duration of action requiring less frequent SC dosing 
(once every 6 months). As such, GSK3511294 may offer the convenience of an improved 
dosing schedule.  
2.3.3. 
Overall Benefit: Risk Conclusion 
Taking into account the measures being implemented to minimise risk to participants in 
this study, the potential risks of participating in this study are justified by the anticipated 
benefits that may be afforded to participants with severe uncontrolled asthma with an 
eosinophilic phenotype; therefore, the Sponsor considers that the investigation of the 
efficacy, and safety of GSK3511294 is justified in this study with a positive benefit: risk 
ratio.

STUDY DESIGN 
4.1. 
Overall Design 
This study employs a multi-centre, randomised, placebo-controlled, double-blind, parallel 
group design. The study will recruit adults and adolescents (12 years) with a confirmed 
diagnosis of severe asthma with an eosinophilic phenotype and who are on a regimen of 
medium to high dose ICS (440 mcg fluticasone propionate [FP] hydrofluoroalkane 
product [HFA] daily, or clinically comparable [GINA, 2020; see Appendix 10]) plus at 
least one additional controller medication, with evidence of bronchodilator reversibility 
or airway hyperresponsiveness as measured by methacholine/histamine challenge. 
Eligible participants must have uncontrolled asthma with a history of repeat 
exacerbations (2 exacerbations in the previous 12 months) while on their existing 
maintenance asthma therapy that excludes any biologics. Participants will be required to 
have a blood eosinophil count of 150 cells/µL at screening or 300 cells/µL 
documented in the 12 months prior to screening. Participants who have received any anti-
IL-5/5R mAb therapy within the last 12 months will be excluded from this study. 
Participants will attend a Pre-screen Visit (Visit 0) to sign consent and a Screening Visit 
(Visit 1; may be done on the same day as Visit 0) for eligibility assessments (see Section 
8.1). At the conclusion of the run-in period (Visit 2), participants who meet the pre-
defined criteria (see Section 5.1 and Section 5.3) will be randomised in a 2:1 ratio to 
receive either GSK3511294 100 mg or placebo, administered SC (at Week 0 and Week 
26) in the clinic via a pre-filled safety syringe (PFS) as an adjunct therapy. 
Randomisation will be stratified based on baseline ICS dose (aiming to up to 50% 
approximately of participants on medium ICS dose; see Appendix 10). Participants will 
remain on their existing stable maintenance asthma therapy throughout the study (See 
Section 6.9 for details on concomitant medications). See Section 4.1.1 for additional 
details on the study phases, duration, and treatment arms. 
The primary outcome measure will be the annualised rate of clinically significant 
exacerbations (i.e. exacerbations requiring systemic CSs and/or hospitalisation and/or ED 
visit [see Section 8.2.2]) measured over the 52-week treatment period. Additional 
efficacy assessments will include lung function (pre- and post-bronchodilator FEV1), 
asthma control (ACQ-5), HRQoL measured with SGRQ, 
 
 
 daytime and night-time asthma symptoms

Run-in 
1-6 weeks 
Participants who meet all the eligibility criteria at 
Screening (Visit 1) will enter the run-in period for a 
minimum of 1 week and a maximum of 6 weeks. 
The run-in is intended to assess the participant’s 
compliance with study-related procedures and 
continued eligibility for the study as well as to collect 
baseline eDiary data. 
Participants who experience an asthma exacerbation 
during the run-in period should receive treatment for 
their exacerbation and remain in the run-in period until 
the investigator considers that the participant has 
returned to their baseline asthma status for at least one 
week.  
The participants that are not eligible to continue in the 
study at the end of the run-in period will be deemed 
run-in failures, but may be rescreened after 
consultation with the Medical Monitor (Section 5.5).

4.2. 
Scientific Rationale for Study Design 
Population: This study is designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of GSK3511294 
100 mg SC as an adjunct therapy in participants with severe uncontrolled asthma with an 
eosinophilic phenotype. Participants should have uncontrolled asthma, as evidenced by 
repeat exacerbations, despite treatment with optimised background therapy consisting of 
maintenance ICS treatment and at least one additional controller. Participants are also 
required to have the requisite elevated blood eosinophil count (see randomisation 
criterion 1, Section 5.3) that is indicative of asthma with an eosinophilic phenotype. This 
population has been shown to benefit from add-on anti-IL-5 therapies such as 
mepolizumab [Pavord, 2012, Ortega, 2014; Chupp, 2017] and is therefore anticipated to 
benefit from GSK3511294.  
Blood eosinophil count screening: A Screening blood eosinophil count threshold of 
150 cells/μL at Screening Visit 1 or 300 cells/µL in the previous 12 months has been 
selected as a criterion to identify participants likely to respond to treatment with anti-IL-5 
therapy, consistent with findings from previous trials with mepolizumab. 
Primary efficacy endpoint: A primary efficacy endpoint of annualised rate of clinically 
significant exacerbations has been selected as a robust and clinically relevant measure of 
the direct benefit of GSK3511294 to a population with severe uncontrolled asthma with 
an eosinophilic phenotype. In the current study, the definition of clinically significant 
exacerbations (see Section 8.2.2), i.e. exacerbations treated with systemic CSs 
(intramuscular [IM], intravenous [IV], or oral) for 3 or more days and/or hospitalisation 
and/or ED visit, is consistent with previous trials with mepolizumab [Pavord, 2012; 
Ortega, 2014] and reslizumab [Castro, 2015]. 
Placebo-control design: An established randomised, double-blind and parallel-group 
study design will allow for a robust determination of participant response to 
GSK3511294 as an adjunct therapy to their maintenance asthma therapy. As such, the 
comparator arm in this study will be placebo plus continued maintenance asthma 
treatment. A 2:1 randomisation will be used in order to limit the number of participants 
randomised to placebo treatment and to provide more safety information on 
GSK3511294. All participants will continue to receive their optimised and stable 
maintenance asthma therapy throughout the entire duration of the study regardless of 
intervention arm assignment. The stable maintenance asthma therapy (per the inclusion 
criteria) will consist of medium to high dose ICS (440 mcg FP HFA daily, or clinically 
comparable [GINA, 2020; see Appendix 10]) with at least one additional controller 
medication e.g., long-acting beta-2-agonist (LABA), with or without maintenance oral 
corticosteroids (OCS). Participants who are treated with medium dose ICS will also need 
to be treated with LABA to qualify for inclusion. 
Study Duration: A 52-week treatment period should allow sufficient time to assess 
whether GSK3511294 100 mg SC, administered as two repeat doses 26 weeks apart (at 
Week 0 [randomisation] and at Week 26), can reduce the annualised rate of clinically 
significant exacerbations to a similar extent to that observed with other anti-IL-5 mAbs. 
The study will also provide 12-month safety data with repeat dosing.

Run-in Period: The one-week (maximum 6 weeks) Run-in period allows for the 
assessment of participant understanding and compliance with the daily eDiary, to 
establish Baseline symptoms, and to allow adequate time for receipt of results from 
assessments collected at Screening Visit 1.  
Open-label extension study: Following study completion, all eligible participants will 
have the option to participate in the OLE study to provide additional safety data (see 
Section 6.7). 
Data collection after discontinuation from study intervention: The protocol objective 
is to collect data over the full study period, whether participants continue on study 
intervention or in the case of premature discontinuation from study intervention. 
However, the decision to continue in the study after premature discontinuation from 
study intervention remains the prerogative of the participant. Participants who agree to 
continue in the study after premature discontinuation from study intervention (for any 
reason) will continue to be contacted by the study site, either through in clinic visits or by 
phone as agreed with the participant, on a monthly basis (aligned to their study schedule) 
until the end of their planned 52-week participation and follow up contact 4 weeks later, 
to enable capture of post-intervention information. 
4.2.1. 
Participant Input into Design 
Participant involvement in the study design was obtained from 10 patients (6 in Italy, 1 in 
UK, and 3 in US [1 adolescent]) using 2 online qualitative surveys containing 
17 questions over a period of 2 weeks. Based on the participant feedback, the following 
design elements will be implemented: 
• Reduced number of laboratory samples and patient-reported outcomes (PRO) 
assessments  
• A hybrid trial model, allowing for home visits and virtual/telemedicine visits at 
key assessments which will reduce the burden of onsite visits and offer some 
flexibility in visit timing for the participant’s schedule 
4.3. 
Justification for Dose 
The dose rationale for this study is supported by the FTIH Study 205722 
[GlaxoSmithKline Document Number 2019N411063_00] that investigated single SC 
doses of GSK3511294 ranging from 2 mg to 300 mg.

Pre-screen/Screen/Run-in Failures 
Pre-screen/screen/run-in failures are defined as participants who consent to participate in 
the clinical study but are not subsequently randomised. A minimal set of screen failure 
information is required to ensure transparent reporting of screen failure participants to 
meet the Consolidated Standards of Reporting Trials (CONSORT) publishing 
requirements and to respond to queries from regulatory authorities. Minimal information 
includes demography, screen failure details, eligibility criteria, any protocol deviations 
and any SAEs. 
For the purposes of this study, pre-screen/screen/run-in failures will be defined as 
follows: 
Pre-screen Failures 
Screen Failures 
Run-in Failures 
Participants who are assigned 
a study number at the time of 
signing the informed consent 
(pre-screen visit) but do not 
progress to the screening 
visit. 
Participants who complete at 
least one additional Visit 1 
(Screening) procedure but do 
not enter the run-in period. 
Participants who enter the 
run-in period but are not 
subsequently randomised. 
Re-screening of participants will be permitted; however, advance written approval to 
proceed with re-screening a participant must be obtained from the Medical Monitor. 
Re-screened participants should be assigned a new participant number for every 
screening/rescreening event. 
5.6. 
Criteria for Temporarily Delaying Randomisation 
Participants who experience a clinically significant asthma exacerbation during the run-in 
period should receive treatment for their exacerbation, have their randomisation visit 
delayed and remain in the run-in period (up to 6 weeks) until the investigator considers 
the participant to have returned to their baseline asthma status for at least 7 days.  
A clinically significant exacerbation is defined as worsening of asthma requiring the use 
of systemic CS and/or hospitalisation and/or ED visit (Section 8.2.2). 
A participant who is not eligible to continue in the study at the end of the run-in period, 
should be considered a run-in failure but may be rescreened after consultation with the 
Medical Monitor (Section 5.5).

• The investigator, institution, or the head of the medical institution (where applicable) 
is responsible for study intervention accountability, reconciliation, and record 
maintenance (i.e., receipt, reconciliation, and final disposition records). 
• Further guidance and information for the final disposition of unused study 
intervention are provided in the SRM.  
• Under normal conditions of handling and administration, study intervention is not 
expected to pose significant safety risks to site staff. Take adequate precautions to 
avoid direct eye or skin contact and the generation of aerosols or mists. In the case of 
unintentional occupational exposure notify the monitor, Medical Monitor and/or GSK 
study contact. 
• A Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS)/equivalent document describing occupational 
hazards and recommended handling precautions either will be provided to the 
investigator, where this is required by local laws, or is available upon request from 
GSK.

Measures to Minimise Bias: Randomisation and Blinding 
6.4.1. 
Treatment Assignment 
• Eligible participants will be centrally randomised using an IRT system.  
• 
 
 Separate randomisation schedules will be created for each 
country. Participants will be assigned to study intervention in accordance with the 
randomisation schedule. Once a randomisation number has been assigned to a 
participant, it cannot be reassigned to any other participant in the study.  
• Randomisation will be stratified according to the participant’s baseline ICS dose 
(aiming to up to 50% approximately of participants on medium ICS dose; see 
Appendix 10). 
• At Visit 2 (Week 0), those participants who meet the randomisation criteria will be 
randomised in a 2:1 ratio to receive one of the following study treatments in addition 
to their stable maintenance asthma treatment: 
o GSK3511294 100 mg SC 
o Placebo SC 
• Study intervention will be administered in the clinic at Visit 2 (Week 0) and Visit 10 
(Week 26) as per the SoA (Section 1.3).  
6.4.2. 
Blinding 
• The IRT system will be programmed with blind-breaking instructions. In case of an 
emergency, the investigator has the sole responsibility for determining if unblinding 
of a participant’s intervention assignment is warranted. Participant safety must always 
be the first consideration in making such a determination. If the investigator decides 
that unblinding is warranted, the investigator should make every effort to contact 
GSK prior to unblinding a participant’s intervention assignment unless this could

delay emergency intervention of the participant. If a participant’s intervention 
assignment is unblinded, GSK must be notified within 24 hours after breaking the 
blind. The date and reason that the blind was broken must be recorded in the source 
documentation and case report form (CRF), as applicable. 
• Investigators will remain blinded to each participant’s assigned study intervention 
throughout the course of the study. 
 
. 
• If a participant’s intervention code is unblinded by the investigator or treating 
physician, that participant will continue with all study visits but will not receive the 
second dose of study intervention at Week 26. The primary reason for the event or 
condition which led to the unblinding will be recorded in the CRF (see Section 7.1).  
• 
 
 
.  
• GSK’s Global Clinical Safety and Pharmacovigilance (GCSP) staff may unblind the 
intervention assignment for any participant with an SAE. If the SAE requires that an 
expedited regulatory report be sent to one or more regulatory agencies, a copy of the 
report, identifying the participant’s intervention assignment, may be sent to 
investigators in accordance with local regulations and/or GSK policy. 
6.5. 
Study Intervention Compliance 
Both doses of GSK3511294 or placebo will be administered under medical supervision 
via SC injection to participants by the investigator or designee at the study site. Dose 
administration details (date and time) will be recorded in the source documents and 
reported in the CRF. 
Participants will be monitored in clinic for a minimum of 2 hours post-dose to monitor 
for immediate hypersensitivity and any other untoward effects. In the event of an acute 
severe reaction (e.g., anaphylaxis) following administration of GSK3511294, there are 
personnel/staff onsite at the treatment facility who are appropriately trained in basic life 
support to manage the participant including administration of medications (e.g., 
epinephrine), and have access to a system that can promptly transport the participant to 
another facility for additional care if appropriate.

Continued Access to Study Intervention after the End of the Study 
The investigator is responsible for ensuring that consideration has been given to the post-
study care of the participant’s medical condition whether or not GSK is providing 
specific post-study treatment. 
At the end of the study, participants will be eligible to screen to enter the OLE Study 
212895 and have continued access to open-label GSK3511294 if he/she: 
• has received both doses of study intervention (at Week 0 and Week 26), AND 
• completed the scheduled Exit Visit at Week 52, AND 
• did not meet any of the study intervention discontinuation conditions (Section 7.1) 
during the study. 
For participants who enrol into the 12-month OLE study, the Day 1 visit of the OLE 
study can occur on the same day as the Exit Visit of the current study. Specific details on 
the OLE study will be documented separately. 
Participants who do not enter the OLE study will complete a follow-up visit/call and be 
prescribed alternative asthma therapy if needed and as determined by the study 
investigator.  
6.8. 
Treatment of Overdose 
The dose of GSK3511294 that is considered to be an overdose has not been defined. 
There are no known antidotes and there is no specific treatment for a suspected overdose. 
In FTIH study 205722 (refer to the current IB [GlaxoSmithKline Document Number 
2016N295843_03 or later]),  single SC doses of GSK3511294 up to 300 mg were well 
tolerated by adult participants with mild/moderate asthma (6 participants received a 
300 mg SC dose). 
 (see Section 6.1). 
In the event of an overdose, the investigator should: 
• Contact the Medical Monitor immediately. 
• Treat the participant with active supportive care as dictated by the participant’s 
clinical status in the knowledge of the long half-life (approximately 41 days) of 
GSK3511294.  
• Closely monitor the participant for AE/SAE and laboratory abnormalities for 
30 weeks following the last administered dose. 
• Document the quantity of the excess dose as well as the duration of the 
overdosing in the CRF. 
Decisions regarding discontinuation or delay of another dose of study intervention will be 
made by the investigator in consultation with the Medical Monitor based on the clinical 
evaluation of the participant.

Concomitant Therapy 
At pre-screening and/or screening, information on the participant’s baseline maintenance 
asthma therapy will be collected and recorded in the eCRF.  
Any medication or vaccine (including over-the-counter or prescription medicines, 
vitamins, and/or herbal supplements) that the participant is receiving at the time of 
enrolment or receives during the study must be recorded in the eCRF along with: 
• reason for use 
• dates of administration including start and end dates 
• dosage information including dose and frequency (any dose changes are to be 
recorded for OCS) 
The Medical Monitor should be contacted if there are any questions regarding 
concomitant or prior therapy. 
6.9.1. 
Permitted Medications and Non-Drug Therapies 
Throughout the study, participants are to be maintained on their baseline maintenance 
asthma treatment consisting of ICS plus at least one other controller, e.g. LABA, LAMA, 
with or without maintenance OCS (see inclusion criteria 4 and 5, Section 5.1). It is 
recognised that in a year-long study, changes may need to be individualised if clinically 
crucial for a participant. The investigator is encouraged to discuss any cases with the 
Medical Monitor before initiating changes to a participant’s maintenance asthma 
medication. 
Additional asthma medications such as theophyllines and anti-leukotrienes will be 
permitted as maintenance provided that they have been taken regularly in the 3 months 
prior to screening (Visit 1). If uncertain whether a medication is permitted, please 
confirm with the Medical Monitor.  
Albuterol/salbutamol is permitted throughout the study but should be withheld in the 
6-hour period prior to spirometry assessments, if possible. Study-provided 
albuterol/salbutamol should not be recorded in the eCRF, only in the eDiary.  
LABAs, LAMAs, and fixed dose combinations of ICS/LABA or ICS/LABA/LAMA 
should be withheld for 12 hours prior to spirometry, if possible.  
Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) or Bilevel Positive Airway Pressure 
(BiPAP) for the treatment of obstructive sleep apnoea is permitted, if initiated prior to the 
Screening Visit (Visit 1). This treatment must be captured in the eCRF. 
Allergen-specific immunotherapy is permitted provided that it has been taken regularly in 
the 6 months prior to screening (Visit 1).  
Participants can be vaccinated against SARS-CoV-2 infection using authorized COVID-
19 vaccines in line with local/national guidelines for COVID-19 vaccines. Experimental 
COVID-19 vaccines are not permitted.

COVID-19 vaccine administration and the administration of the study intervention should 
be separated by 14 days if possible, in order to be able to properly assess study injection 
site/treatment reactions. 
Participants can be treated for SARS-CoV-2 infection using authorized COVID-19 
treatments (including monoclonal antibodies) in line with local/national guidelines.  
Experimental COVID-19 treatments are not permitted.

Additionally, Bronchial Thermoplasty and Radiotherapy are excluded for 12 months 
prior to Visit 1 and throughout the study. CPAP, BiPAP, and oxygen therapy should not 
be initiated during the run-in period. 
6.9.3. 
Rescue Medicine 
Trade label albuterol/salbutamol metered dose inhalers (MDIs) will be provided as rescue 
medication throughout the study. Albuterol/salbutamol will be sourced for all centres. 
Use of low dose ICS-formoterol as rescue medication is not allowed during the study. 
Participants will be dispensed an MDI at Screening Visit 1 to be used primarily to treat 
asthma symptoms on an as needed basis and also during the reversibility assessments (see 
Section 8.2.3.1). The MDI should be replaced as needed.  
Although the use of rescue medications is allowable (at any time during the study), the 
use of rescue medications should be withheld, if possible, for at least 6 hours prior to the 
spirometry assessments. Rescue medication usage will be recorded in the eDiary.

DISCONTINUATION OF STUDY INTERVENTION AND 
PARTICIPANT DISCONTINUATION/WITHDRAWAL 
7.1. 
Discontinuation of Study Intervention 
No further doses of study intervention will be administered to participants who meet any 
of the following permanent treatment discontinuation conditions at any time during the 
study treatment period: 
• Liver Chemistry: Meets any of the protocol-defined liver chemistry stopping 
criteria (see Section 7.1.1) 
• ECG: Meets any of the protocol-defined QTc stopping criteria (see Section 7.1.2) 
• Pregnancy: Positive pregnancy test (see Section 8.4.5) 
• Severe allergic reaction/anaphylaxis: Participants with severe allergic 
reaction/anaphylaxis with no clear alternative cause (see Appendix 8) 
• Vasculitis: Participants with confirmed vasculitis or suspected vasculitis with no 
alternative explanation (see Section 7.5). 
• Study treatment unblinded: Unblinding of the study treatment assigned to a 
participant (see Section 6.4.2). 
If a participant meets any of the treatment discontinuation conditions or chooses (for any 
reason) not to receive another dose of study intervention before the end of the protocol 
specified randomised intervention period:  
• The investigator will make every effort to encourage the participant to remain in 
the study and to continue with all remaining study visits, including the Exit and 
Follow-up Visits.  
• The primary reason for discontinuation of study intervention (e.g., AE, lack of 
efficacy, protocol deviation, investigator discretion, consent withdrawn etc.) must 
be recorded in the eCRF.  
• Participants will be provided with the option to continue their scheduled visits 
in-clinic, at home, or by phone. The required study assessments will depend on 
whether the participant is attending the visit in-clinic, at home, or by phone. At a 
minimum, an assessment of exacerbations, AEs, SAEs, and concomitant 
medications will be completed.  
• If for any reason, the participant later chooses to withdraw from the study, a 
Withdraw from Study Visit (see Section 7.2) should be conducted according to 
the SoA (Section 1.3).

7.1.1. 
Liver Chemistry Stopping Criteria 
Liver chemistry stopping criteria, and increased monitoring criteria have been 
designed to assure participant safety and evaluate liver event aetiology. 
Discontinuation of study intervention for abnormal liver tests is required when: 
• a participant meets one of the conditions outlined in the algorithm or  
• in the presence of abnormal liver chemistry not meeting protocol-specified 
stopping rules, the investigator believes that it is in the best interest of the 
participant.  
Liver Chemistry Stopping Criteria Algorithm 
 
Abbreviations: ALT = alanine transaminase; INR = international normalised ratio; SAE = 
serious adverse event; ULN = upper limit of normal, Tbili = Total bilirubin

Study intervention restart or rechallenge after liver chemistry stopping criteria are met by 
a participant in this study will not be permitted.  
7.1.2. 
QTc Stopping Criteria 
Details on performing ECG assessments can be found in Section 8.3.3.  
The QT interval corrected using Fridericia’s formula (QTcF) must be used for each 
individual participant to determine eligibility for and discontinuation from the study 
intervention. This formula may not be changed or substituted once the participant has 
been enrolled. 


TMF-14449557

For this study, the following QTc stopping criteria will apply: 
• QTcF >500 msec OR uncorrected QT >600 msec  
• Change from baseline of QTcF >60 msec 
For participants with underlying bundle branch block, follow the discontinuation criteria 
listed below: 
Baseline QTcF with Bundle Branch 
Block 
Discontinuation QTcF with Bundle 
Branch Block 
<450 msec 
>500 msec 
450 – 480 msec 
≥530 msec 
The QTcF value from the 12-lead ECG central over-read at randomisation Visit 2 should 
be used as baseline QTcF value for any changes from baseline calculations during the 
study. After randomisation 12-lead ECG central over-read values should be used to 
assess QTc stopping criteria, with the exception of Visit 10 (Week 26) where 12-lead 
ECG machine read values should be used. 
7.1.3. 
Temporary Discontinuation 
For this study, a temporary discontinuation refers to a delayed administration of the 
second dose of study intervention at Week 26.  
If a participant becomes infected (parasitic infection) during the study intervention period 
before receiving the second dose of study intervention and does not respond to anti-
helminth treatment, a delayed administration of the study intervention may be considered 
in consultation with the GSK Medical Monitor.  
7.2. 
Participant Discontinuation/Withdrawal from the Study 
• Participants are strongly encouraged to remain in the study for the entire duration but 
may prematurely withdraw from the study at any time at his/her own request, at the 
request of their legally authorised representative (LAR), or may be withdrawn at any 
time at the discretion of the investigator for safety, behavioural, or compliance 
reasons. This is expected to be uncommon. 
• Participants who prematurely withdraw from the study should attend: 
o a Withdraw from Study (WS) Visit, 26 weeks after the last administered dose of 
study intervention (at Week 26 or Week 52) AND 
o a Follow-up visit/call, 30 weeks after the last administered dose of study 
intervention for AE/SAE and pregnancy assessments.  
Note: this includes any participants who initially discontinue study intervention and 
remain in the study (Section 7.1) but later decide to withdraw from the study.

• If the participant withdraws consent for disclosure of future information, the Sponsor 
may retain and continue to use any data collected before such a withdrawal of 
consent. 
• If a participant withdraws from the study, he/she may request destruction of any 
samples taken and not tested, and the investigator must document this in the site study 
records. 
7.3. 
Lost to Follow-Up 
A participant will be considered lost to follow-up if he/she repeatedly fails to return for 
scheduled visits (or scheduled phone calls, if applicable) and is unable to be contacted by 
the study site.  
The following actions must be taken if a participant fails to return to the clinic for a 
required study visit: 
• The site must attempt to contact the participant and reschedule the missed visit as 
soon as possible and counsel the participant on the importance of maintaining the 
assigned visit schedule and ascertain whether or not the participant wishes to 
and/or should continue in the study. 
• Before a participant is deemed lost to follow-up, the investigator or designee must 
make every effort to regain contact with the participant (where possible, 
3 telephone calls and, if necessary, a certified letter to the participant’s last known 
mailing address or local equivalent methods). These contact attempts should be 
documented in the participant’s medical record. 
• Should the participant continue to be unreachable, he/she will be considered to 
have withdrawn from the study. A final attempt will be made to contact the 
participant for a safety follow-up 30 weeks after the last administered dose of 
study intervention. 
Discontinuation of specific sites or of the study as a whole are handled as part of 
Appendix 1. 
7.4. 
Reasons for Study Intervention Discontinuation and/or Study 
Withdrawal 
The primary reason for study intervention discontinuation and/or study withdrawal will 
be recorded in the eCRF. When a participant withdraws consent, the investigator must 
document the reason (if specified by the participant) in the eCRF.  
7.5. 
Criteria for Follow-up of Potential Type III Hypersensitivity (Immune 
Complex Disease /Vasculitis) 
Owing to the adverse findings of arterial inflammation that were observed in the 
1-month, but not 6-month, nonclinical toxicology studies, events potentially representing 
type III hypersensitivity/immune complex disease/vasculitis should be promptly reported 
to GSK, and consultation with the Medical Monitor is encouraged. Treatment for the 
event will be given as medically required.

Symptoms potentially suggestive of vasculitis include but are not limited to: 
• 
persistent* fever (*where persistent is considered to be a duration of 2 days) 
• 
persistent* muscle and joint pain   
• 
persistent* rash  
• 
persistent* fatigue  
• 
symptoms of peripheral neuropathy, like numbness or weakness  
• 
laboratory abnormalities, e.g., decreased platelets, elevated creatinine, decrease 
in complement C3/C4, abnormal urinary albumin/creatinine ratio 
Participants who experience any of the above events should be monitored until the event 
resolves and/or a diagnosis is established.  
The symptoms and clinical features are often non-specific and heterogenous with respect 
to the time course over which they develop, organ involvement and the constellation of 
symptoms and severity. Early recognition of potential events of vasculitis is important to 
timely diagnosis and subsequent treatment.  
The precise management will depend on the clinical evaluation at the time of presentation 
and ongoing assessment including consideration of relevant differential diagnoses. Given 
that there is often a differential for presenting symptoms such as infection, and indeed 
such factors may also precipitate immune related AEs, these factors (infectious, 
neoplastic, metabolic, toxic) should be given due consideration and ruled out.  
Serological, immunological, and histological (biopsy) data should be considered to 
support the diagnosis and consultation with the GSK Medical Monitor, and an 
appropriate medical specialist should be considered when investigating a possible 
immune related AE. 
If clinically indicated, the participant may be referred to a specialist for further 
management, which may include organ biopsy.

STUDY ASSESSMENTS AND PROCEDURES 
• Study procedures and their timing are summarised in the SoA (Section 1.3).  
• As detailed in the SoA (Section 1.3), participants who are not entering the OLE study 
212895 should make every effort to complete the Week 56 follow-up visit/call on the 
scheduled day. The visit may be completed within 7 days of the scheduled time-point. 
• Every effort should be made to reduce missing data throughout the study. 
• Protocol waivers or exemptions are not allowed. 
• Immediate safety concerns should be discussed with the Medical Monitor 
immediately upon occurrence or awareness to determine if the participant should 
continue to receive the second scheduled dose of study intervention, if applicable.  
• Adherence to the study design requirements, including those specified in the SoA, is 
essential and required for study conduct. 
• All screening evaluations must be completed and reviewed to confirm that potential 
participants meet all eligibility criteria. The investigator will maintain a screening log 
to record details of all participants screened and to confirm eligibility or record 
reasons for screening failure, as applicable.  
• Procedures conducted as part of the participant’s routine clinical management (e.g., 
blood count) and obtained before signing of ICF may be utilised for screening or 
baseline purposes provided the procedure met the protocol-specified criteria and was 
performed within the time frame defined in the SoA. 
• 
 
 
 
 
• Repeat or unscheduled samples may be taken for safety reasons or for technical issues 
with the samples. 
• Participants should be provided a quiet space in which to complete patient-reported 
outcomes (PRO), prior to other assessments and procedures. Site staff can provide 
limited advice if required, however participants should not be guided or directed in 
answering questions. Family or friends should not influence the answers. Site staff 
should encourage participants to complete all questions.

Critical Assessments performed at Screening (Visit 1) 
The following critical assessments will be conducted at Screening Visit 1: 
• Review inclusion/exclusion criteria (see Section 5.1 and Section 5.2) 
• Review therapy history and concomitant medications including maintenance 
asthma medications from the year prior to Screening Visit 1, all medications 
within the 3 months prior to Screening Visit 1 and all current medications. 
• Medical history including: 
o Asthma including current treatment, duration of asthma, courses of rescue 
CSs, history of previous intubations, asthma exacerbation history in previous 
year, asthma triggers  
o Cardiovascular (CV) medical history/risk factors (as detailed in the eCRF) 
o Vasculitis, allergies and anaphylaxis history 
o Smoking history and current status 
o Historical blood eosinophil count - participants without a documented blood 
eosinophil count ≥300 cells/µL in the 12 months prior to Screening Visit 1 
must show a blood eosinophil count ≥150 cells/µL, based on the sample 
collected at Visit 1 (see randomisation criterion 1, Section 5.3.1). If the 
Screening Visit test result does not meet the blood eosinophil count eligibility 
criteria, the laboratory assessment may be repeated, at the discretion of the 
investigator, if it is judged to be likely in the eligible range for study inclusion 
within the run-in period prior to Visit 2.  
• Spirometry including bronchodilator responsiveness testing using the Maximum 
Bronchodilator Procedure (see Section 8.2.3). If a patient fails the protocol-
specified reversibility criterion or FEV1 inclusion criteria, spirometry retest is 
allowed during the run-in period.

Asthma Exacerbations 
Clinically significant exacerbations of asthma are defined by: 
Worsening of asthma which requires use of systemic CSs1 and/or hospitalisation and/or 
Emergency Department (ED) visit.  
1For all participants, IV or oral steroids (e.g., prednisone) for at least 3 days or a single 
IM CS dose is required. For participants on maintenance systemic CSs, at least double the 
existing maintenance dose for at least 3 days is required.  
Exacerbations separated by less than 7 days will be treated as a continuation of the same 
exacerbation.

Details of each asthma exacerbation, including medications used to treat exacerbations 
should be recorded in the eCRF. 
Asthma exacerbations should not be recorded as an AE unless they meet the definition of 
a SAE. 
The time period for collection of exacerbation information in the eCRF will be from the 
start of study intervention until the Exit Visit or Follow-up Visit if applicable. 
8.2.3. 
Pulmonary Function Testing/ Spirometry  
Spirometry lung function assessments will be performed for all participants at specified 
visits to assess FEV1. At least 3 valid spirometry efforts should be attempted (with no 
more than 8 attempts) using the ATS guidelines [Miller, 2005]. Spirometry includes 
FEV1, percent predicted FEV1, Forced Vital Capacity (FVC) and FEV1/FVC. Spirometry 
assessments will be performed at screening (Visit 1), randomisation (Visit 2), and at 
scheduled in-clinic visits according to the SoA (Section 1.3). At each visit, spirometry 
should be performed at the same time of day (1 hour) as the assessment performed at 
Visit 2 (the baseline assessment). Participants should try to withhold short-acting beta-2-
agonists (SABAs) for 6 hours and LAMAs/LABAs for 12 hours prior to the clinic 
visit, if possible.  
Spirometry should not be conducted for participants with confirmed/suspected 
COVID-19.  
8.2.3.1. 
Reversibility using the Maximum Post-Bronchodilator Method 
Pre-bronchodilator measurements will be taken at the clinic visits specified in the SoA 
(Section 1.3): at screening, randomisation, Week 26 Visit, and Exit Visit (or EW Visit). 
In addition, post-bronchodilator values will be recorded following reversibility testing 
using the Maximum Post-Bronchodilator Method. Participants’ reversibility will be 
assessed at Visit 1 (Screening). For participants unable to achieve 12% reversibility and 
200 mL change at Visit 1, reversibility can be repeated at Visit 2 to confirm eligibility for 
the study (see randomisation criterion 2, Section 5.3.1). The procedures involved in the 
Maximum Post-Bronchodilator Method are those generated by the Pulmonary Physiology 
Subcommittee [Tepper, 2012]. Additional details on the reversibility testing procedures 
using the Maximum Post-Bronchodilator Method can be found in the spirometry section 
of the SRM.

St. George’s Respiratory Questionnaire (SGRQ) 
The SGRQ is a well-established instrument, comprising 50 items  designed to measure 
Quality of Life in participants with diseases of airway obstruction [Jones, 1992]. The 
questionnaire will be administered as per guidance from the measure developers and 
completed electronically according to the SoA (Section 1.3).

Asthma Control Questionnaire-5 (ACQ-5) 
The ACQ-5 is a five-item questionnaire, which has been developed as a measure of 
participants’ asthma control that can be quickly and easily completed [Juniper, 2005]. 
The questions are designed to be self-completed by the participant. The five questions 
enquire about the frequency and/or severity of symptoms (nocturnal awakening on 
waking in the morning, activity limitation, and shortness of breath, wheeze) over the 
previous week. The response options for all these questions consist of a zero (no 
impairment/limitation) to six (total impairment/ limitation) scale. This will be completed 
electronically according to the SoA (Section 1.3).

Asthma Daily Symptom Diary/Asthma Nightly Symptom Diary 
(ADSD/ANSD) 
The ADSD/ANSD is a 6-item self-administered patient-reported diary developed by the 
PRO Consortium’s Asthma Working Group (in accordance with the Food and Drug 
Administration’s PRO Guidance) to facilitate comprehensive and reliable assessment of 
asthma symptoms from a patient’s perspective [Gater, 2016]. 
The ADSD/ANSD is intended for use by adults and adolescents (aged 12 years and older) 
who are diagnosed with asthma to rate the severity of their symptoms in the three core 
categories: breathing symptoms (wheezing, shortness of breath), chest symptoms (chest 
tightness, chest pain) and cough.  
The ADSD/ANSD must be completed twice daily by the participant: 
• ADSD is to be completed before going to bed and refers to asthma symptoms 
during the day. 
• ANSD is to be completed upon waking and refers to asthma symptoms during the 
previous night.   
Participants are required to rate the six symptoms at their worst during the respective 
timeframes using an 11-point numeric rating scale (NRS) ranging from 0 (‘None’) to 10 
(‘As bad as you can imagine’). Responses will be captured electronically.  
The ADSD/ANSD questionnaire should only be administered to participants for whom 
an appropriate translation is available. Further details are contained in the SRM.

Safety Assessments 
Planned time points for all safety assessments are provided in the SoA (Section 1.3) – 
where possible, these should be aligned with standard of care.  
8.3.1. 
Physical Examinations 
• A complete physical examination will include, at a minimum, assessments of the 
Skin, Eyes, CV, Respiratory, Gastrointestinal and Neurological systems. Height 
(screening only) and weight will also be measured and recorded. 
• Investigators should pay special attention to clinical signs related to previous 
serious illnesses.  
8.3.2. 
Vital Signs  
• Temperature, pulse rate, and blood pressure will be assessed.  
• Blood pressure and pulse measurements will be assessed in the resting state with a 
completely automated device. Manual techniques will be used only if an 
automated device is not available.  
CCI

• Blood pressure and pulse measurements should be preceded by at least 5 minutes 
of rest for the participant in a quiet setting without distractions (e.g., television, 
cell phones) and should be taken before blood collection for laboratory tests. 
8.3.3. 
Electrocardiograms (ECGs) 
• Twelve-lead ECGs will be obtained at the time points specified in the SoA (see 
Section 1.3) using an ECG machine, provided by GSK via a designated central 
laboratory, that automatically calculates the heart rate and measures PR, QRS, 
QT, and QTc intervals.  
• The QTcF formula must be used for each individual participant to determine 
eligibility. This formula may not be changed or substituted once the participant 
has been enrolled. Refer to Section 7.1.2 for the QTcF formula. 
• If an ECG demonstrates a prolonged QT interval, obtain two more ECGs over a 
brief period, and then use the averaged QTcF values of the three ECGs to 
determine whether the participant should be screened/ randomised/ discontinued 
from the study intervention (but not from the study). Refer to Section 5.2 and 
Section 5.3.2 for exclusion/randomisation exclusion criteria related to ECG 
assessment and Section 7.1.2 for QTc withdrawal criteria and additional QTc 
readings that may be necessary. 
• ECG measurements will be made after the participant has rested in the supine 
position for 5 minutes. The ECG should be obtained after the vital signs 
assessments but before lung function testing followed by other study procedures. 
Collection shortly after a meal or during sleep should be avoided since QT 
prolongation can occur at these times. 
• Paper ECG traces will be recorded at a standard paper speed of 25 mm/sec and 
gain of 10 mm/mV, with a lead II rhythm strip. There will be electronic capture 
and storage of the data by a validated method. 
• Paper ECG traces are required to be maintained at the site with other source 
documents. 
8.3.4. 
Clinical Safety Laboratory Assessments 
• See Appendix 2 for the list of clinical laboratory tests to be performed and refer to 
the SoA (Section 1.3) for the timing and frequency.  
• The investigator must review the laboratory report, document this review, and 
record any clinically significant changes occurring during the study as an AE. The 
laboratory reports must be filed with the source documents.  
• Abnormal laboratory findings associated with the underlying disease are not 
considered clinically significant, unless judged by the investigator to be more 
severe than expected for the participant's condition. 
• All laboratory tests with values considered clinically significantly abnormal 
during participation in the study until the Exit Visit (or Follow-up visit/call if 
applicable) should be repeated until the values return to normal or baseline or are 


TMF-14449557 
CONFIDENTIAL  
206713  
Protocol Amd 02  
71 
no longer considered significantly abnormal by the investigator or Medical 
Monitor. If clinically significant values do not return to normal/baseline within a 
period of time judged reasonable by the investigator, the aetiology should be 
identified, and the Sponsor notified. 
• If laboratory values from non-protocol specified laboratory tests performed at the 
institution’s local laboratory require a change in participant management or are 
considered clinically significant by the investigator (e.g., SAE or AE), then the 
results must be recorded. 
• All protocol-required laboratory assessments, as defined in Section 10.2, must be 
conducted in accordance with the laboratory manual and the SoA (Section 1.3). 
• 
 
 
 
 
8.3.5. 
Pregnancy Testing 
• Refer to Section 5.1 Inclusion Criteria for pregnancy testing entry criteria. 
• A serum pregnancy test should be conducted for all WOCBP at the screening visit 
(Visit 1) and the Exit visit. In addition, a urine pregnancy test should be 
performed for all WOCBP prior to randomisation (Visit 2), on a monthly basis at 
the specified scheduled study visit, and at the Follow-up Visit/call (if applicable) 
as per the SoA (Section 1.3). 
• A final urine pregnancy test should be conducted for all WOCBP, 30 weeks after 
the last administered dose of study intervention:  
o Participants who enter the OLE study will have a urine pregnancy test 
prior to receiving the first dose of open-label GSK3511294. 
o Participants who do not enter the OLE study should have a urine 
pregnancy test at the Follow-up Visit/call (Week 56). A self-reported 
home urine pregnancy test result is acceptable if the follow-up is 
conducted as a phone call visit.  
o Participants who withdraw early from the study should have a urine 
pregnancy test, 4 weeks after the WS Visit (see Section 7.2). 
• Additional serum or urine pregnancy tests may be performed, as determined 
necessary by the investigator or required by local regulation, to establish the 
absence of pregnancy at any time during the participant’s participation in the 
study.

Adverse Events (AEs), Serious Adverse Events (SAEs) and Other 
Safety Reporting 
The definitions of adverse events (AE) or serious adverse events (SAEs) can be found in 
Section 10.3. Asthma exacerbations should not be recorded in the AE section of the 
eCRF unless they meet the definition of a SAE.  
The definitions of device-related safety events, (adverse device effects [ADEs] and 
serious adverse device effects [SADEs]), can be found in Section 10.7. Device 
deficiencies are covered in Section 10.7. 
AEs will be reported by the participant (or, when appropriate, by a caregiver, surrogate, 
or the participant's legally authorised representative). 
The investigator and any qualified designees are responsible for detecting, documenting, 
and reporting events that meet the definition of an AE or SAE and remain responsible for 
following up all AEs that are serious, considered related to the study intervention or the 
study, or that caused the participant to discontinue the study (see Section 7).  
The method of recording, evaluating, and assessing causality of AEs and SAEs and the 
procedures for completing and transmitting SAE reports are provided in Section 10.3. 
8.4.1. 
Time Period and Frequency for Collecting AE and SAE 
Information 
• All SAEs will be collected from the start of intervention (Visit 2) until the Exit Visit 
or follow-up visit/call (if applicable) at the time points specified in the SoA 
(Section 1.3). However, any SAEs assessed as related to study participation (e.g., 
study intervention, protocol-mandated procedures, invasive tests, or change in 
existing therapy) or related to a GSK product will be recorded from the time a 
participant consents to participate in the study.  
• All AEs will be collected from the start of intervention until the Exit Visit or the 
follow-up visit/call (if applicable) at the time points specified in the SoA 
(Section 1.3). 
• Medical occurrences that begin before the start of study intervention but after 
obtaining informed consent will be recorded as Medical History/Current Medical 
Conditions (in the eCRF) not as AEs. 
• All SAEs will be recorded and reported to the Sponsor or designee immediately and 
under no circumstance should this exceed 24 hours, as indicated in Appendix 3. The 
investigator will submit any updated SAE data to GSK within 24 hours of it being 
available. 
• Investigators are not obligated to actively seek information on AEs or SAEs after the 
conclusion of the study participation. However, if the investigator learns of any SAE, 
including a death, at any time after a participant has been discharged from the study, 
and he/she considers the event to be reasonably related to the study intervention or 
study participation, the investigator must promptly notify GSK.

8.4.2. 
Method of Detecting AEs and SAEs 
Care will be taken not to introduce bias when detecting AE and/or SAE. Open-ended and 
non-leading verbal questioning of the participant is the preferred method to inquire about 
AE occurrence.  
8.4.3. 
Follow-up of AEs and SAEs 
After the initial AE/SAE report, the investigator is required to proactively follow each 
participant at subsequent visits/contacts. All SAEs and non-serious AEs of special 
interest (as defined in Section 8.4.7), will be followed until the event is resolved, 
stabilised, otherwise explained, or the participant is lost to follow-up (as defined in 
Section 7.3). Further information on follow-up procedures is given in Appendix 3. 
8.4.4. 
Regulatory Reporting Requirements for SAEs 
• Prompt notification by the investigator to GSK of an SAE is essential so that legal 
obligations and ethical responsibilities towards the safety of participants and the 
safety of a study intervention under clinical investigation are met.  
• GSK has a legal responsibility to notify both the local regulatory authority and other 
regulatory agencies about the safety of a study intervention under clinical 
investigation. The Sponsor will comply with country-specific regulatory requirements 
relating to safety reporting to the regulatory authority, Institutional Review Boards 
(IRB)/Independent Ethics Committees (IEC), and investigators. 
• An investigator who receives an investigator safety report describing an SAE or other 
specific safety information (e.g., summary or listing of SAEs) from GSK will review 
and then file it along with the IB and will notify the IRB/IEC, if appropriate 
according to local requirements. 
• Investigator safety reports must be prepared for suspected unexpected serious adverse 
reactions (SUSAR) according to local regulatory requirements and GSK policy and 
forwarded to investigators as necessary. 
8.4.5. 
Pregnancy 
• Any female participant who becomes pregnant while participating in the study will 
not receive another dose of study intervention. 
• Details of all pregnancies in female participants will be collected from the start of 
study intervention and until 30 weeks after the last administered dose of study 
intervention.  
• If a pregnancy is reported, the investigator will record pregnancy information on the 
appropriate form and submit it to GSK within 24 hours of learning of the female 
participant pregnancy. While pregnancy itself is not considered to be an AE or SAE, 
any pregnancy complication or elective termination of a pregnancy for medical 
reasons will be reported as an AE or SAE. 


TMF-14449557 
CONFIDENTIAL  
206713  
Protocol Amd 02  
74 
• Abnormal pregnancy outcomes (e.g., spontaneous abortion, foetal death, stillbirth, 
congenital anomalies, ectopic pregnancy) are considered SAEs and will be reported 
as such. 
• The participant will be followed to determine the outcome of the pregnancy. The 
investigator will collect follow-up information on the participant and the neonate, and 
the information will be forwarded to the Sponsor. 
• Any post-study pregnancy-related SAE considered reasonably related to the study 
intervention by the investigator will be reported to the Sponsor as described in 
Section 8.4.4. While the investigator is not obligated to actively seek this information 
in former study participants, he or she may learn of an SAE through spontaneous 
reporting. 
8.4.6. 
Cardiovascular and Death Events 
For any CV events detailed in Appendix 3 and all deaths, whether or not they are 
considered SAEs, specific CV and Death sections of the CRF will be required to be 
completed. These sections include questions regarding CV (including sudden cardiac 
death) and non-CV death.  
The CV CRF pages are presented as queries in response to reporting of certain CV 
MedDRA terms. The CV information should be recorded in the specific CV section of 
the CRF within one week of receipt of a CV Event data query prompting its completion.   
The Death CRF page is provided immediately after the occurrence or outcome of death is 
reported. Initial and follow-up reports regarding death must be completed within one 
week of when the death is reported. 
8.4.7. 
Adverse Events of Special Interest  
Adverse events of special interest (AESI) include: 
• Allergic reactions including anaphylaxis 
Note:  these events will be assessed by the investigator as to whether they meet the 
diagnostic criteria for anaphylaxis as outlined by the 2006 Joint NIAID/FAAN 
Second Symposium on Anaphylaxis [Sampson, 2006] (Appendix 8). 
• Type III hypersensitivity (immune complex disease/vasculitis) reactions 
• Local injection site reactions 
• QTc prolongation

STATISTICAL CONSIDERATIONS 
9.1. 
Statistical Hypotheses 
The primary study objective is to test for the superiority of GSK3511294 100 mg SC 
+ SoC following two doses (at Week 0 and at Week 26) compared with placebo + SoC, 
assessed by the annualised rate of clinically significant exacerbations measured over the 
study intervention period of 52 weeks. 
The study will test at a 5% two-sided significance level the null hypothesis that there is 
no difference in annualised exacerbation rate between GSK3511294 and placebo. 
9.2. 
Sample Size Determination 
Approximately
 participants with severe uncontrolled asthma with an eosinophilic 
phenotype will be screened to ensure the randomisation of 
 participants in a 
ratio 
to GSK3511294 
 and matching placebo 
  
9.2.1. 
Sample Size Assumptions 
A sample size of 
participants 
 GSK3511294 to placebo allocation ratio) is based 
on sufficient power to conclude superiority on primary and key secondary endpoints. 
There is a possibility that greater than 
 participants will be randomised in the study 
due to local country requests or requirements, for example, the local competent authority 
specifying a minimum number to be enrolled. 
9.2.1.1. 
Primary Endpoint 
The assumed true annualised rate of exacerbations in the placebo arm is 1.18. Based on 
an assumed true treatment difference of a 
reduction in annualised exacerbation rate 
between GSK3511294 + SoC and placebo + SoC, a sample size of 
 randomised 
participants (
 to GSK3511294, 
to placebo) will provide 99% power for the 
primary endpoint at a 5% two-sided significance level [PASS, 2020]. 
The assumptions for the placebo rate and treatment effect are median values from an 
elicitation exercise which used Phase 3 anti-IL-5/5R historical data (~50% reduction in 
exacerbations) and expert opinion. The sample size is based also on an assumption of 
 
for the dispersion parameter which was observed in two mepolizumab studies [Pavord, 
2012; Ortega, 2014]. It was assumed that
 of participant-years data will be missing 
due to study withdrawal, which is also consistent with mepolizumab studies. 
Based on the assumptions above, the minimum observed treatment difference estimated 
to result in significance at the 5% two-sided significance level is a 
 reduction in 
exacerbations for GSK3511294 + SoC compared with placebo + SoC (rate ratio of 0.73).

Sample Size Sensitivity 
The sample size and power calculations are based on assumptions about the true values 
for parameters. The power of the study is dependent on changes in these assumptions, in 
particular the assumed annualised exacerbation rates. Table 4 illustrates how changes in 
assumptions for two parameters (placebo + SoC annualised exacerbation rate and 
treatment effect) affect the power.

The SAP will be finalised prior to un-blinding and it will include a more technical and 
detailed description of the statistical analyses described in this section.  
This section is a summary of the planned statistical analyses of the most important 
endpoints including primary and key secondary endpoints. 
9.4.1. 
General Considerations 
The study will test at a 5% two-sided significance level the null hypothesis that there is 
no difference in annualised exacerbation rate between GSK3511294 + SoC and placebo 
+ SoC. 
Population 
Description 
Screened 
All participants who sign the ICF. 
Enrolled 
All participants who entered the study. 
 
Note screening failures (who never passed screening even if 
rescreened) and participants screened but never enrolled into the 
study (Met eligibility but not needed) are excluded from the 
Enrolled analysis set as they did not enter the study. 
 
Randomised 
All participants who were randomly assigned to study 
intervention in the study. 
Full Analysis Set (FAS) 
All randomised participants who receive at least one dose of 
study intervention. Participants will be analysed according to the 
intervention they are allocated at randomisation. This population 
will serve as the primary population for analyses of efficacy 
endpoints. 
Safety 
All randomised participants who receive at least one dose of 
study intervention. Participants will be analysed according to the 
intervention they are allocated at randomisation, unless a 
participant receives a different intervention to the randomised 
intervention at all protocol-defined administrations, in which case 
the participant will be analysed according to the actual 
intervention they received. This population will serve as the 
primary population for analyses of safety endpoints.

SAEs, AESIs, laboratory data, vital signs, and ECGs will be included in data displays in 
the form of listings, frequency tables, summary statistics, graphs, and statistical analyses 
where appropriate.  
Adverse Events (AEs) will be coded using the standard Medical Dictionary for 
Regulatory Activities (MedDRA) and will be grouped by system organ class (SOC). AEs 
will be summarised by frequency and percentage of participants, by SOC and preferred 
term within each treatment group. Separate summaries will be presented for all AEs, 
drug-related AEs, serious AEs (SAEs), AEs leading to permanent discontinuation of 
study intervention or withdrawal from study and for any AEs of special interest.

9.5. 
Multiple Testing Strategy 
The treatment comparison of interest for the primary and secondary endpoints is 
GSK3511294 100 mg SC + SoC vs placebo + SoC. A fixed sequence hierarchical testing 
procedure will be used to provide strong control of Type I error for multiplicity arising 
from the primary and multiple secondary endpoints. This will be carried out using a 
stepdown closed testing procedure where inference for an endpoint in the predefined 
hierarchy will be dependent on statistical significance having been achieved for the 
previous endpoints in the hierarchy. For example, for the primary endpoint, GSK3511294 
+ SoC will be compared to placebo + SoC at a two-sided 5% level. The next endpoint in 
the hierarchy (i.e. the first secondary endpoint) will be tested only if the test for the 
primary endpoint is significant at the two-sided 5% level. Testing will continue down the 
hierarchy for the remaining endpoints in an equivalent manner only if the previous 
endpoint in the hierarchy achieves statistical significance. 
The hierarchy of the primary and secondary endpoints to be tested is as follows: 
1. Annualised rate of clinically significant exacerbations over 52 weeks 
2. Change from baseline in SGRQ at Week 52 
3. Change from baseline in ACQ-5 at Week 52 
4. Change from baseline in clinic pre-bronchodilator FEV1 at Week 52 
5. Annualised rate of exacerbations requiring hospitalisation and/or ED visit over 
52 weeks

Study and Site Start and Closure 
First Act of Recruitment 
The study start date is the date on which the clinical study will be open for recruitment of 
participants. 
The first act of recruitment is the first site open and will be the study start date. 
Study/Site Termination 
GSK or designee reserves the right to close the study site or terminate the study at any 
time for any reason at the sole discretion of GSK. Study sites will be closed upon study 
completion. A study site is considered closed when all required documents and study 
supplies have been collected and a study-site closure visit has been performed. 
The investigator may initiate study-site closure at any time, provided there is reasonable 
cause and sufficient notice is given in advance of the intended termination. 
Reasons for the early closure of a study site by the Sponsor or investigator may include 
but are not limited to: 
For study termination: 
• Discontinuation of further study intervention development 
For site termination: 
• Failure of the investigator to comply with the protocol, the requirements of the 
IRB/IEC or local health authorities, the Sponsor's procedures, or GCP guidelines 
• Inadequate or no recruitment of participants (evaluated after a reasonable amount 
of time) by the investigator 
• If the study is prematurely terminated or suspended, the Sponsor shall promptly 
inform the investigators, the IECs/IRBs, the regulatory authorities, and any 
contract research organization(s) used in the study of the reason for termination or 
suspension, as specified by the applicable regulatory requirements. The 
investigator shall promptly inform the participant and should assure appropriate 
participant therapy and/or follow-up

10.2. Appendix 2: Clinical Laboratory Tests 
All protocol required laboratory assessments must be conducted in accordance with the 
Laboratory Manual and the SoA (Section 1.3).  
Local laboratory results may be required in the event that the central laboratory results 
are not available in time for either study intervention administration and/or response 
evaluation to be performed – for example: when results from screening Visit 1 should be 
available before dosing on Visit 2, or at any time when a participant is unwell and results 
are required urgently.  
If a local sample is required, it is important that the sample for central analysis is 
obtained at the same time. Additionally, if the local laboratory results are used to make 
either a study intervention decision or response evaluation, the results must be recorded 
in the CRF.  
 
 
 
Protocol-specific requirements for inclusion or exclusion of participants are detailed in 
Section 5 of the protocol. 
Additional tests may be performed at any time during the study as determined necessary 
by the investigator or required by local regulations. 
For China sites the urine specimen may be sent to the central laboratory for routine 
urinalysis instead of performing a local urine dipstick. Urinalysis should be performed at 
Visit 1 so that results are available before randomisation at Visit 2. Urine pregnancy test 
must still be performed at the site.

10.3. Appendix 3: AEs and SAEs: Definitions and Procedures for 
Recording, Evaluating, Follow-up, and Reporting 
10.3.1. 
Definition of AE 
AE Definition 
• An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical study participant, 
temporally associated with the use of a study intervention, whether or not 
considered related to the study intervention. 
NOTE: An AE can therefore be any unfavourable and unintended sign (including 
an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease (new or exacerbated) 
temporally associated with the use of a study intervention. 
 
Events Meeting the AE Definition 
• Any abnormal laboratory test results (haematology, clinical chemistry, or 
urinalysis) or other safety assessments (e.g., ECG, radiological scans, vital signs 
measurements), including those that worsen from baseline, considered clinically 
significant in the medical and scientific judgment of the investigator (i.e., not 
related to progression of underlying disease). 
• Exacerbation of a chronic or intermittent pre-existing condition including either an 
increase in frequency and/or intensity of the condition. 
• New conditions detected or diagnosed after study intervention administration even 
though it may have been present before the start of the study. 
• Signs, symptoms, or the clinical sequelae of a suspected intervention- intervention 
interaction. 
• Signs, symptoms, or the clinical sequelae of a suspected overdose of either study 
intervention or a concomitant medication. Overdose per se will not be reported as 
an AE/SAE unless it is an intentional overdose taken with possible suicidal/self-
harming intent. Such overdoses should be reported regardless of sequelae. 
• "Lack of efficacy" or "failure of expected pharmacological action" per se will not 
be reported as an AE or SAE. Such instances will be captured in the efficacy 
assessments. However, the signs, symptoms, and/or clinical sequelae resulting from 
lack of efficacy will be reported as AE or SAE if they fulfil the definition of an AE 
or SAE.  
 


TMF-14449557 
CONFIDENTIAL  
206713  
Protocol Amd 02  
94 
Events NOT Meeting the AE Definition  
• Any clinically significant abnormal laboratory findings or other abnormal safety 
assessments which are associated with the underlying disease, unless judged by the 
investigator to be more severe than expected for the participant’s condition. 
• The disease/disorder being studied or expected progression, signs, or symptoms of 
the disease/disorder being studied, unless more severe than expected for the 
participant’s condition. 
• Medical or surgical procedure (e.g., endoscopy, appendectomy): the condition that 
leads to the procedure is the AE. 
• Situations in which an untoward medical occurrence did not occur (social and/or 
convenience admission to a hospital). 
• Anticipated day-to-day fluctuations of pre-existing disease(s) or condition(s) 
present or detected at the start of the study that do not worsen. 
10.3.2. 
Definition of SAE 
If an event is not an AE per definition above, then it cannot be an SAE even if serious 
conditions are met (e.g., hospitalisation for signs/symptoms of the disease under study, 
death due to progression of disease, etc.).  
An SAE is defined as any untoward medical occurrence that, at any dose, meets one or 
more of the criteria listed: 
a. Results in death 
b. Is life-threatening 
The term 'life-threatening' in the definition of 'serious' refers to an event in which 
the participant was at risk of death at the time of the event. It does not refer to an 
event, which hypothetically might have caused death, if it were more severe. 
c. Requires inpatient hospitalisation or prolongation of existing hospitalisation 
• In general, hospitalisation signifies that the participant has been admitted (usually 
involving at least an overnight stay) at the hospital or emergency ward for 
observation and/or treatment that would not have been appropriate in the 
physician’s office or outpatient setting. Complications that occur during 
hospitalisation are AE. If a complication prolongs hospitalisation or fulfils any 
other serious criteria, the event is serious. When in doubt as to whether 
“hospitalisation” occurred or was necessary, the AE should be considered serious. 
• Hospitalisation for elective treatment of a pre-existing condition that did not 
worsen from baseline is not considered an AE. 


TMF-14449557 
CONFIDENTIAL  
206713  
Protocol Amd 02  
95 
An SAE is defined as any untoward medical occurrence that, at any dose, meets one or 
more of the criteria listed: 
d. Results in persistent or significant disability/incapacity 
• The term disability means a substantial disruption of a person’s ability to conduct 
normal life functions. 
• This definition is not intended to include experiences of relatively minor medical 
significance such as uncomplicated headache, nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, 
influenza, and accidental trauma (e.g. sprained ankle) which may interfere with or 
prevent everyday life functions but do not constitute a substantial disruption. 
e. Is a congenital anomaly/birth defect  
f. Other situations: 
• Possible Hy’s Law case: ALT≥3xULN AND total bilirubin ≥2xULN (>35% direct 
bilirubin) or international normalised ratio (INR) >1.5 must be reported as SAE 
• Medical or scientific judgment should be exercised by the investigator in deciding 
whether SAE reporting is appropriate in other situations such as significant medical 
events that may jeopardise the participant or may require medical or surgical 
intervention to prevent one of the other outcomes listed in the above definition. 
These events should usually be considered serious. 
o Examples of such events include invasive or malignant cancers, intensive 
treatment for allergic bronchospasm, blood dyscrasias, convulsions, or 
development of intervention dependency or intervention abuse.

Recording and Follow-Up of AE and SAE 
AE and SAE Recording 
• When an AE/SAE occurs, it is the responsibility of the investigator to review all 
documentation (e.g. hospital progress notes, laboratory, and diagnostics reports) 
related to the event. 
• The investigator will then record all relevant AE/SAE information. 
• It is not acceptable for the investigator to send photocopies of the participant’s 
medical records to GSK in lieu of completion of the GSK required form. 
• There may be instances when copies of medical records for certain cases are 
requested by GSK. In this case, all participant identifiers, with the exception of the 
participant number, will be redacted on the copies of the medical records before 
submission to GSK. 
• The investigator will attempt to establish a diagnosis of the event based on signs, 
symptoms, and/or other clinical information. Whenever possible, the diagnosis (not 
the individual signs/symptoms) will be documented as the AE/SAE. 
Assessment of Intensity 
The investigator will make an assessment of intensity for each AE and SAE reported 
during the study and assign it to 1 of the following categories:  
• Mild: An event that is easily tolerated by the participant, causing minimal 
discomfort and not interfering with everyday activities. 
• Moderate: An event that causes sufficient discomfort and interferes with normal 
everyday activities. 
• Severe: An event that prevents normal everyday activities. An AE that is assessed 
as severe should not be confused with an SAE. Severe is a category utilised for 
rating the intensity of an event; and both AE and SAE can be assessed as severe. 
• An event is defined as ‘serious’ when it meets at least 1 of the predefined outcomes 
as described in the definition of an SAE, NOT when it is rated as severe. 
 
Assessment of Causality 
The investigator is obligated to assess the relationship between study intervention and 
each occurrence of each AE/SAE. 
• A "reasonable possibility" of a relationship conveys that there are facts, evidence, 
and/or arguments to suggest a causal relationship, rather than a relationship cannot 
be ruled out. 
• The investigator will use clinical judgment to determine the relationship. 


TMF-14449557 
CONFIDENTIAL  
206713  
Protocol Amd 02  
97 
Assessment of Causality 
• Alternative causes, such as underlying diseases, concomitant therapy, and other 
risk factors, as well as the temporal relationship of the event to study intervention 
administration will be considered and investigated. 
• The investigator will also consult the IB and/or Product Information, for marketed 
products, in his/her assessment. 
• For each AE/SAE, the investigator must document in the medical notes that he/she 
has reviewed the AE/SAE and has provided an assessment of causality. 
• There may be situations in which an SAE has occurred and the investigator has 
minimal information to include in the initial report to GSK. However, it is very 
important that the investigator always make an assessment of causality for 
every event before the initial transmission of the SAE data to GSK. 
• The investigator may change his/her opinion of causality in light of follow-up 
information and send an SAE follow-up report with the updated causality 
assessment. 
• The causality assessment is one of the criteria used when determining regulatory 
reporting requirements. 
 
Follow-up of AE and SAE 
• The investigator is obligated to perform or arrange for the conduct of supplemental 
measurements and/or evaluations as medically indicated or as requested by GSK to 
elucidate the nature and/or causality of the AE or SAE as fully as possible. This 
may include additional laboratory tests or investigations, histopathological 
examinations, or consultation with other health care professionals. 
• If a participant dies during participation in the study or during a recognised follow-
up period, the investigator will provide GSK with a copy of any post-mortem 
findings including histopathology. 
• New or updated information will be recorded in the originally submitted 
documents. 
• The investigator will submit any updated SAE data to GSK within 24 hours of 
receipt of the information.

Reporting of SAE to GSK 
SAE Reporting to GSK via Electronic Data Collection Tool 
• The primary mechanism for reporting SAE to GSK will be the electronic data 
collection tool. 
• If the electronic system is unavailable, then the site will use the paper SAE data 
collection tool (see next section) to report the event within 24 hours and send/fax it 
to the Medical Monitor. 
• The site will enter the SAE data into the electronic system as soon as it becomes 
available. 
• After the study is completed at a given site, the electronic data collection tool will 
be taken off-line to prevent the entry of new data or changes to existing data. 
• If a site receives a report of a new SAE from a study participant or receives updated 
data on a previously reported SAE after the electronic data collection tool has been 
taken off-line, then the site can report this information on a paper SAE form (see 
next section) or to the Medical Monitor or the SAE coordinator by telephone. 
• Contacts for SAE reporting can be found in the SRM. 
 
SAE Reporting to GSK via Paper Data Collection Tool 
• Facsimile transmission of the SAE paper data collection tool is the preferred 
method to transmit this information to the Medical monitor or the SAE coordinator. 
• In rare circumstances and in the absence of facsimile equipment, notification by 
telephone is acceptable with a copy of the SAE data collection tool sent by 
overnight mail or courier service. 
• Initial notification via telephone does not replace the need for the investigator to 
complete and sign the SAE data collection tool within the designated reporting time 
frames. 
• Contacts for SAE reporting can be found in the SRM.

Definitions: 
Woman of Childbearing Potential (WOCBP) 
Women in the following categories are considered WOCBP (fertile): 
1. Following menarche 
2. From the time of menarche until becoming post-menopausal unless permanently 
sterile (see below) 
Notes: 
• A postmenopausal state is defined as no menses for 12 months without an alternative 
medical cause. 
o A high follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) level in the postmenopausal range 
may be used to confirm a postmenopausal state in women not using hormonal 
contraception or hormonal replacement therapy (HRT). However, in the absence 
of 12 months of amenorrhea, confirmation with more than one FSH measurement 
is required.  
o Females on HRT and whose menopausal status is in doubt will be required to use 
one of the non-oestrogen hormonal highly effective contraception methods if 
they wish to continue their HRT during the study. Otherwise, they must 
discontinue HRT to allow confirmation of postmenopausal status before study 
enrolment. 
• Permanent sterilisation methods (for the purpose of this study) include: 
o Documented hysterectomy 
o Documented bilateral salpingectomy 
o Documented bilateral oophorectomy 
For individuals with permanent infertility due to an alternate medical cause other than the 
above, (e.g., Mullerian agenesis, androgen insensitivity, gonadal dysgenesis), investigator 
discretion should be applied to determining study entry. 
 
Note: Documentation can come from the site personnel’s review of the participant’s 
medical records, medical examination, or medical history interview. 
 
If fertility is unclear (e.g., amenorrhea in adolescents or athletes) and a menstrual cycle 
cannot be confirmed before first dose of study intervention, additional evaluation should 
be considered.

Woman of Nonchildbearing Potential (WONCBP) 
Women in the following categories are considered WONCBP: 
1. Premenopausal female with permanent infertility due to one of the following (for the 
purpose of this study): 
a) Documented hysterectomy 
b) Documented bilateral salpingectomy 
c) Documented bilateral oophorectomy 
For individuals with permanent infertility due to an alternate medical cause other than 
the above, (e.g., Mullerian agenesis, androgen insensitivity, gonadal dysgenesis), 
investigator discretion should be applied to determining study entry. 
Note: Documentation can come from the site personnel’s review of the participant’s 
medical records, medical examination, or medical history interview. 
2. Postmenopausal female 
A postmenopausal state is defined as no menses for 12 months without an alternative 
medical cause. 
a) A high follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) level in the postmenopausal range may 
be used to confirm a postmenopausal state in women not using hormonal 
contraception or hormonal replacement therapy (HRT). However, in the absence 
of 12 months of amenorrhea, confirmation with more than one FSH measurement 
is required. 
b) Females on HRT and whose menopausal status is in doubt must discontinue HRT 
to allow confirmation of postmenopausal status before study enrolment.

Contraception Guidance: 
Female participants: 
CONTRACEPTIVESa ALLOWED DURING THE STUDY INCLUDE: 
Highly Effective Methodsb That Have Low User Dependency Failure rate of <1% per year 
when used consistently and correctly. 
• Implantable progestogen-only hormone contraception associated with inhibition of 
ovulationc 
• Intrauterine device (IUD) 
• Intrauterine hormone-releasing system (IUS)c 
• Bilateral tubal occlusion 
• Azoospermic partner (vasectomised or due to a medical cause) 
Azoospermia is a highly effective contraceptive method provided that the partner 
is the sole sexual partner of the woman of childbearing potential and the absence 
of sperm has been confirmed. If not, an additional highly effective method of

Protocol Amd 02  
101 
CONTRACEPTIVESa ALLOWED DURING THE STUDY INCLUDE: 
contraception should be used. Spermatogenesis cycle is approximately 90 days. 
Note: documentation of azoospermia for a male participant can come from the site 
personnel’s review of the participant’s medical records, medical examination, or 
medical history interview. 
Highly Effective Methodsb That Are User Dependent Failure rate of <1% per year when used 
consistently and correctly. 
• Combined (oestrogen- and progestogen-containing) hormonal contraception 
associated with inhibition of ovulationc 
• oral 
• intravaginal 
• transdermal 
• injectable 
• Progestogen-only hormone contraception associated with inhibition of ovulationc 
• oral 
• injectable 
• Sexual abstinence 
Sexual abstinence is considered a highly effective method only if defined as refraining from 
heterosexual intercourse during the entire period of risk associated with the study intervention. 
The reliability of sexual abstinence needs to be evaluated in relation to the duration of the study 
and the preferred and usual lifestyle of the participant. 
a. Contraceptive use by men or women should be consistent with local regulations regarding 
the use of contraceptive methods for those participating in clinical studies. 
b. Failure rate of <1% per year when used consistently and correctly. Typical use failure rates 
differ from those when used consistently and correctly. 
c. Male condoms must be used in addition to hormonal contraception. If locally required, in 
accordance with Clinical Trial Facilitation Group (CTFG) guidelines, acceptable 
contraceptive methods are limited to those which inhibit ovulation as the primary mode of 
action. 
Note: Periodic abstinence (calendar, sympto-thermal, post-ovulation methods), withdrawal 
(coitus interruptus), spermicides only, and lactational amenorrhea method (LAM) are not 
acceptable methods of contraception. Male condom and female condom should not be used 
together (due to risk of failure from friction) 
Male participants: As GSK3511294 is a mAb that is not anticipated to interact directly 
with deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) or other chromosomal material and minimal exposure 
through semen is expected, male participants will not be required to use contraception 
during the study.

10.5. Appendix 5: Genetics 
USE/ANALYSIS OF DNA 
China only: No genetic samples will be collected from participants in China. 
• Genetic variation may impact a participant’s response to study intervention, 
susceptibility, severity and progression of disease. Variable response to study 
intervention may be due to genetic determinants that impact drug absorption, 
distribution, metabolism, and excretion; mechanism of action of the drug; disease 
aetiology; and/or molecular subtype of the disease being treated. Therefore, where 
local regulations and IRB/IEC allow, a blood sample will be collected for DNA 
analysis 
• DNA samples will be used for research related to GSK3511294 or asthma with an 
eosinophilic phenotype and related diseases. They may also be used to develop 
tests/assays including diagnostic tests) related to GSK3511294 or study interventions 
of this drug class, and indication. Genetic research may consist of the analysis of one 
or more candidate genes or the analysis of genetic markers throughout the genome or 
analysis of the entire genome (as appropriate). 
• Additional analyses of DNA samples may be conducted if it is hypothesised that this 
may help further understand the clinical data.  
• The samples may be analysed as part of a multi-study assessment of genetic factors 
involved in the response to GSK3511294 or study interventions of this class. The 
results of genetic analyses may be reported in the clinical study report or in a separate 
study summary. 
• The Sponsor will store the DNA samples in a secure storage space with adequate 
measures to protect confidentiality.  
• The samples will be retained while research on GSK3511294 (or study interventions 
of this class) or asthma with an eosinophilic phenotype continues but no longer than 
15 years after the last participant last visit or other period as per local requirements.

blood sample will be sent to the central 
laboratory to maintain the blind while 
study is ongoing. Results will be provided 
only if unblinding of a participant’s 
treatment assignment is required. Also 
note that the mechanism of action of 
GSK3511294 leads to lowering of 
eosinophils. 
• Record the appearance or worsening of 
clinical symptoms of liver injury, or

the assessments listed above: 
• Anti-nuclear antibody, anti-smooth 
muscle antibody, Type 1 anti-liver kidney 
microsomal antibodies, and quantitative 
total immunoglobulin G (IgG) or gamma 
globulins. 
• Serum acetaminophen adduct assay 
should be conducted (where available) to 
assess potential acetaminophen 
contribution to liver injury unless 
acetaminophen use is very unlikely in the 
preceding week (e.g., where the 
participant has been resident in the 
clinical unit throughout)

Liver Chemistry Stopping Criteria  
• Liver biopsy may be considered and 
discussed with local specialist if 
available, for instance: 
o In patients when serology raises 
the possibility of autoimmune 
hepatitis (AIH) 
o In patients when suspected DILI 
progresses or fails to resolve on 
withdrawal of study intervention 
o In patients with acute or chronic 
atypical presentation:  
• If liver biopsy conducted complete liver 
biopsy form 
1. Serum bilirubin fractionation should be performed if testing is available. If serum bilirubin 
fractionation is not immediately available, discontinue study intervention for that participant if 
ALT ≥3xULN and total bilirubin ≥ 2xULN. Additionally, if serum bilirubin fractionation testing is 
unavailable, record presence of detectable urinary bilirubin on dipstick, indicating direct 
bilirubin elevations and suggesting liver injury.  
2. All events of ALT  3xULN and bilirubin  2xULN (>35% direct bilirubin) or ALT  3xULN and 
INR>1.5 which may indicate severe liver injury (possible ‘Hy’s Law’), must be reported to 
GSK as an SAE; the INR threshold value stated will not apply to participants receiving 
anticoagulants 
3. New or worsening symptoms believed to be related to liver injury (such as fatigue, nausea, 
vomiting, right upper quadrant pain or tenderness, or jaundice) or believed to be related to 
hypersensitivity (such as fever, rash or eosinophilia). 
4. Includes: hepatitis A Immunoglobulin M (IgM) antibody; HBsAg and HBcAb; hepatitis C RNA; 
cytomegalovirus IgM antibody; Epstein-Barr viral capsid antigen IgM antibody (or if 
unavailable, heterophile antibody or monospot testing); and hepatitis E IgM antibody. In those 
with underlying chronic hepatitis B at study entry (identified by positive hepatitis B surface 
antigen) quantitative hepatitis B DNA and hepatitis delta antibody.  If hepatitis delta antibody 
assay cannot be performed, it can be replaced with a polymerase chain reaction (PCR) of 
hepatitis D RNA virus (where needed) [Le Gal, 2005]. 
5. Record the date/time of the PK blood sample draw and the date/time of the last dose of study 
intervention prior to the PK blood sample draw on the CRF. If the date or time of the last dose 
is unclear, provide the participant’s best approximation. If the date/time of the last dose cannot 
be approximated OR a PK sample cannot be collected in the time period indicated above, do 
not obtain a PK sample. Instructions for sample handling and shipping are in the central 
laboratory manual.

Deficiencies: Definition and Procedures for Recording, Evaluating, Follow-
up, and Reporting in Medical Device Studies 
• The definitions and procedures detailed in this appendix are in accordance with 
ISO 14155 and European Medical Device Regulation (MDR) 2017/745 for 
clinical device research (if applicable).  
• Both the investigator and the Sponsor will comply with all local medical device 
reporting requirements for medical devices. 
• The detection and documentation procedures described in this protocol apply to 
all GSK medical devices provided for use in the study (see Section 6.1.1 for the 
list of GSK medical devices). 
10.7.1. 
Definition of Medical Device AE and ADE 
Medical Device AE and ADE Definition  
• 
An AE is any untoward medical occurrence, in a clinical study participant, users, 
or other persons, temporally associated with the use of study intervention whether 
or not considered related to the investigational medical device. An AE can 
therefore be any unfavourable and unintended sign (including an abnormal 
laboratory finding), symptom, or disease (new or exacerbated) temporally 
associated with the use of an investigational medical device. This definition 
includes events related to the investigational medical device or comparator and 
events related to the procedures involved. 
• 
An adverse device effect (ADE) is an AE related to the use of an investigational 
medical device. This definition includes any AE resulting from insufficient or 
inadequate instructions for use, deployment, implantation, installation, or 
operation, or any malfunction of the investigational medical device as well as any 
event resulting from use error or from intentional misuse of the investigational 
medical device.

10.7.2. 
Definition of Medical Device SAE, SADE and USADE 
A Medical Device SAE is any serious adverse event that: 
a. 
Led to death  
b. Led to serious deterioration in the health of the participant, that either resulted in: 
• 
A life-threatening illness or injury. The term ‘life-threatening' in the definition 
of ‘serious' refers to an event in which the participant was at risk of death at 
the time of the event. It does not refer to an event, which hypothetically might 
have caused death, if it were more severe. 
• 
A permanent impairment of a body structure or a body function. 
• 
Inpatient or prolonged hospitalisation. Planned hospitalisation for a pre-
existing condition, or a procedure required by the protocol, without serious 
deterioration in health, is not considered an SAE. 
• 
Medical or surgical intervention to prevent life-threatening illness or injury or 
permanent impairment to a body structure or a body function. 
c. 
Led to foetal distress, foetal death or a congenital abnormality or birth defect 
d. Is a suspected transmission of any infectious agent via a medicinal product 
SADE definition 
• A SADE is defined as an adverse device effect that has resulted in any of the 
consequences characteristic of a serious adverse event. 
• Any device deficiency that might have led to an SAE if appropriate action had not 
been taken, intervention had not occurred, or circumstances had been less fortunate. 
Unanticipated SADE (USADE) definition 
• 
An USADE (also identified as UADE in US Regulations 21 CFR 813.3), is a 
serious adverse device effect that by its nature, incidence, severity or outcome has 
not been identified in the current version of the risk analysis report (see Section 
2.3). 
10.7.3. 
Definition of Device Deficiency 
Device Deficiency Definition 
• 
A device deficiency is an inadequacy of a medical device with respect to its 
identity, quality, durability, reliability, safety, or performance. Device deficiencies 
include malfunctions, use errors, and information supplied by the manufacturer.

Recording and Follow-Up of AE and/or SAE and Device 
Deficiencies 
AE, SAE and Device Deficiency Recording 
• 
When an AE/SAE/device deficiency occurs, it is the responsibility of the 
investigator to review all documentation (e.g., hospital progress notes, laboratory 
reports, and diagnostics reports) related to the event. 
• 
The investigator will then record all relevant AE/SAE/device deficiency 
information in the participant’s medical records, in accordance with the 
investigator’s normal clinical practice, and on the appropriate form. 
• 
It is not acceptable for the investigator to send photocopies of the participant’s 
medical records to GSK in lieu of completion of the AE/SAE/device deficiency 
form. 
• 
There may be instances when copies of medical records for certain cases are 
requested by GSK. In this case, all participant identifiers, with the exception of the 
participant number, will be redacted on the copies of the medical records before 
submission to GSK. 
• 
The investigator will attempt to establish a diagnosis of the event based on signs, 
symptoms, and/or other clinical information. Whenever possible, the diagnosis 
(not the individual signs/symptoms) will be documented as the AE/SAE. 
• 
For device deficiencies, it is very important that the investigator describes any 
corrective or remedial actions taken to prevent recurrence of the deficiency. 
o A remedial action is any action other than routine maintenance or servicing of 
a medical device where such action is necessary to prevent recurrence of a 
device deficiency. This includes any amendment to the device design to 
prevent recurrence. 
Assessment of Intensity 
• The investigator will make an assessment of intensity for each AE/SAE/device 
deficiency reported during the study and assign it to one of the following 
categories:  
• Mild: An event that is easily tolerated by the participant, causing minimal 
discomfort and not interfering with everyday activities. 
• Moderate: An event that causes sufficient discomfort and interferes with normal 
everyday activities. 
• Severe: An event that prevents normal everyday activities. An AE that is assessed 
as severe should not be confused with an SAE. Severe is a category used for rating 
the intensity of an event; both AEs and SAEs can be assessed as severe. 
• An event is defined as ‘serious’ when it meets at least 1 of the predefined outcomes 
as described in the definition of an SAE, not when it is rated as severe.

Assessment of Causality 
• The investigator is obligated to assess the relationship between study intervention 
and each occurrence of each AE/SAE/device deficiency 
• A “reasonable possibility” of a relationship conveys that there are facts, evidence, 
and/or arguments to suggest a causal relationship, rather than a relationship cannot 
be ruled out. 
• The investigator will use clinical judgment to determine the relationship. 
• Alternative causes, such as underlying disease(s), concomitant therapy, and other 
risk factors, as well as the temporal relationship of the event to study intervention 
administration will be considered and investigated. 
• The investigator will also consult the IB in his/her assessment. 
• For each AE/SAE/device deficiency, the investigator must document in the 
medical notes that he/she has reviewed the AE/SAE/device deficiency and has 
provided an assessment of causality. 
• There may be situations in which an SAE has occurred and the investigator has 
minimal information to include in the initial report to GSK. However, it is very 
important that the investigator always make an assessment of causality for every 
event before the initial transmission of the SAE data to GSK. 
• The investigator may change his/her opinion of causality in light of follow-up 
information and send an SAE follow-up report with the updated causality 
assessment. 
• The causality assessment is one of the criteria used when determining regulatory 
reporting requirements. 
 
Follow-up of AE/SAE/device deficiency 
• The investigator is obligated to perform or arrange for the conduct of supplemental 
measurements and/or evaluations as medically indicated or as requested by GSK to 
elucidate the nature and/or causality of the AE/SAE/device deficiency as fully as 
possible. This may include additional laboratory tests or investigations, 
histopathological examinations, or consultation with other health care 
professionals. 
• New or updated information will be recorded in the originally completed CRF. 
• The investigator will submit any updated SAE data to GSK within 24 hours of 
receipt of the information.

Reporting of SAEs 
SAE Reporting to GSK via an Electronic Data Collection Tool 
• The primary mechanism for reporting an SAE to GSK will be the electronic data 
collection tool. 
• If the electronic system is unavailable, then the site will use the paper SAE data 
collection tool (see next table) in order to report the event within 24 hours. 
• The site will enter the SAE data into the electronic system as soon as it becomes 
available. 
• After the study is completed at a given site, the electronic data collection tool will 
be taken offline to prevent the entry of new data or changes to existing data. 
• If a site receives a report of a new SAE from a study participant or receives updated 
data on a previously reported SAE after the electronic data collection tool has been 
taken off-line, then the site can report this information on a paper SAE form (see 
next section) or to the Medical Monitor or the SAE coordinator by telephone. 
• Contacts for SAE reporting can be found in the SRM. 
 
SAE Reporting to GSK via Paper Data Collection Tool 
• Facsimile transmission of the SAE data collection tool is the preferred method to 
transmit this information to the Medical Monitor or the SAE coordinator. 
• In rare circumstances and in the absence of facsimile equipment, notification by 
telephone is acceptable with a copy of the SAE paper data collection tool sent by 
overnight mail or courier service. 
• Initial notification via telephone does not replace the need for the investigator to 
complete and sign the SAE paper data collection tool within the designated 
reporting time frames. 
• Contacts for SAE reporting can be found in the SRM.

Reporting of SADEs 
SADE Reporting to GSK  
NOTE: There are additional reporting obligations for medical device deficiencies 
that are potentially related to SAEs that must fulfil the legal responsibility to notify 
appropriate regulatory authorities and other entities about certain safety 
information relating to medical devices being used in clinical studies.  
• Any device deficiency that is associated with an SAE must be reported to GSK 
within 24 hours after the investigator determines that the event meets the definition 
of a device deficiency. 
• GSK will review all device deficiencies and determine and document in writing 
whether they could have led to an SAE. These device deficiencies will be reported 
to the regulatory authorities and IRBs/IECs as required by national regulations. 
• Contacts for SAE reporting can be found at the beginning of this protocol on the 
Sponsor/Medical Monitor Contact Information page.

Anaphylaxis Network (FAAN) Second Symposium on Anaphylaxis [Sampson, 2006].  
The criteria do not make a distinction based on underlying mechanism. These criteria are 
summarised as follows: 
1) Acute onset of an illness (minutes to several hours) with involvement of the skin, 
mucosal tissue, or both (e.g., generalised hives, pruritus or flushing, swollen lips-
tongue-uvula), and at least one of the following: 
a) Respiratory compromise (e.g., dyspnoea, wheeze-bronchospasm, stridor, reduced 
PEF, hypoxemia) 
b) Reduced blood pressure (BP) or associated symptoms of end-organ dysfunction 
(e.g., hypotonia [collapse], syncope, incontinence) 
2) Two or more of the following that occur rapidly after exposure to a likely allergen for 
that patient (minutes to several hours): 
a) Involvement of the skin-mucosal tissue (e.g., generalised hives, itch-flush, 
swollen lips-tongue-uvula) 
b) Respiratory compromise (e.g., dyspnoea, wheeze-bronchospasm, stridor, reduced 
PEF, hypoxemia) 
c) Reduced BP or associated symptoms (e.g., hypotonia [collapse], syncope, 
incontinence) 
d) Persistent gastrointestinal symptoms (e.g., crampy abdominal pain, vomiting) 
3) Reduced BP after exposure to known allergen for that patient (minutes to several 
hours): 
a) Adolescents (aged 12-17): low systolic BP (age specific) or greater than 30% 
decrease in systolic BP 
b) Adults: systolic BP of less than 90 mm Hg or greater than 30% decrease from that 
person’s baseline

10.11. Appendix 11: Recommended Measures Related to COVID-19 
Pandemic 
Overall Rationale for this Appendix: 
COVID-19 pandemic may impact the conduct of clinical studies. Challenges may arise 
from quarantines, site closures, travel limitations, interruptions to the supply chain for the 
study intervention or other considerations if site personnel or study participants become 
infected with COVID-19. These challenges may lead to difficulties in meeting protocol-
specified procedures, including administering or using the study intervention or adhering 
to protocol-mandated visits and laboratory/diagnostic testing.  
This protocol appendix outlines measures that may be applicable for any site impacted by 
the COVID-19 pandemic. The purpose of the appendix is to provide information on the 
measures to be taken to protect participants’ safety, welfare and rights, and promote data 
integrity. 
STUDY PROCEDURES DURING COVID-19 PANDEMIC 
During the special circumstances caused by the current COVID-19 pandemic, you should 
consider specific public health guidance, the impact of any travel restrictions 
implemented by local/regional health authorities and local institutions, and individual 
benefit /risk when making enrolment and treatment decisions for trial participants. 
Every effort should be made to adhere to protocol-specified assessments for participants 
on study intervention, including follow-up however when not possible, for the duration of 
these special circumstances, the following measures may be implemented for enrolled 
participants. 
• 
Clinical investigators should document in site files and in participant 
notes/Electronic Heath Records as appropriate how restrictions related to 
COVID-19 led to the changes in study conduct and duration of those changes and 
indicate which trial participants were impacted and how those trial participants 
were impacted (as per the current local COVID-19 related regulatory guidance). 
• 
Missing protocol required data/visits due to COVID-19 should be noted in 
participant notes and recorded as a COVID-19 protocol deviation.  
• 
Spirometry should not be conducted for participants with confirmed/suspected 
COVID-19. 
Protocol Defined Procedures/Visits: 
• Where applicable country and local regulations and infrastructure for home 
healthcare allow, home healthcare may take place at a location other than the 
clinical trial site to perform study assessments, which may include collection of 
blood and urine samples, measurement of vital signs and weight, and preparation 
and administration of study drug (at the discretion of the investigator). It is the 


TMF-14449557 
CONFIDENTIAL  
206713  
Protocol Amd 02  
117 
responsibility of the investigator to inform GSK when this occurs and to 
document in source notes. 
• Remote visits may be performed at the participant’s home by qualified study 
personnel or at a local medical facility, unless the investigator deems that a site 
visit is necessary. 
• Additional unscheduled safety assessments such as routine blood sampling may 
be performed at the discretion of the investigator including in the participant’s 
home, if deemed necessary. Biological samples may be collected at a different 
location, other than the study site (e.g., at participant’s home) by qualified study 
personnel or at a local medical facility according to standard operating procedures 
and applicable regulations (see note). Biological samples should not be collected 
if they cannot be processed in a timely manner or appropriately stored until the 
intended use.  
• If visits to a site/home are not feasible, then the medical evaluation of the 
participant’s asthma may take place by telemedicine which will use secure video 
conferences, phone calls, and a web portal and/or mobile application as a way of 
communicating with and monitoring the participant’s progress. GSK will be 
accountable for working with the vendor to ensure the site has the required 
equipment, training and support for this model and should be notified as soon as 
possible by the investigator that the service is required. 
• The study investigator is responsible for ensuring that the identification, 
management, and reporting of AEs and SAEs are completed in accordance with 
the protocol and applicable regulations. AEs are first reported by participants to 
the investigator/study team or may be identified by the study team during 
interactions with the participants via telemedicine encounters. In addition, mobile 
nurses may identify AEs as well and report them to the investigator for 
evaluation. Additionally, AEs may be identified from lab reports, imaging or ECG 
reports, and other records. As determined by the investigator, the appropriate 
medical intervention, therapeutic intervention, and/or support measures are 
instituted, as necessary.  
• The participant should be informed of the plan and any potential risks associated 
with the virtual medium and sign a revised Informed Consent Form if required. 
IRB/Ethics committee should be informed and/or approve of this change in 
approach and the process documented in study files. 
• The revised schedule of study activities is provided in Table 6.   
Note: If the investigator wishes to conduct a trial visit at a location that has not been 
previously assessed by GSK, it is the investigator’s responsibility to identify an adequate 
alternate location and to notify GSK of the alternate location. The investigator should 
ensure that this alternate location meets ICH GCP requirements, is well-equipped to 
perform study procedures and covered by an adequate insurance. Furthermore, the 
investigator should have sufficient oversight to ensure that the staff at the alternate 
location are trained to perform study procedures. Refer to and follow most recent local 
guidance and regulations if available or refer to FDA or EMA guidance available at time.

Study Intervention: 
• 
If despite best efforts it is not possible to administer the dose of study intervention as 
defined in the protocol (see Section 6 Study Intervention and Concomitant Therapy), 
a maximum dose interval of 28 weeks may be used.  
• 
In-clinic visits are required for administration of the study intervention (Week 0 and 
Week 26).  
• 
In some cases, trial participants who no longer have access to study intervention or 
the investigational site may need additional safety monitoring (e.g., on withdrawal of 
an active investigational treatment). 
Data Management/Monitoring: 
• The medical problems and healthcare utilisation worksheet may be transmitted from 
and to the investigator by electronic mail and or conventional mail. If copies/scans of 
the paper worksheet are sent to the investigator by electronic mail, the participant 
should be instructed to maintain the original documents and to return them to the site 
when a visit to the site will be allowed. 
• If the eDiary device was provided to the participant, it may be returned to the site by 
conventional mail after the end of the relevant data collection period (Visit 17 Exit 
Visit).  
• 
If on-site monitoring is no longer permitted, GSK will consider remote Source Data 
Verification/Source Document Review (SDV/SDR) where permitted by the clinical 
site/institution. Remote SDV/SDR will be proposed to study sites to meet a patient 
and/or critical quality need, e.g., to assess participant safety or to ensure data 
integrity. In case of remote SDV/SDR, GSK will work with the site to ensure 
participant privacy.  
• 
eCRF/CRF Final or Interim Sign off Process: The Principal Investigator (PI) is 
responsible for ensuring that the data within the eCRF casebook and any other data 
sources utilised during the study for each study participant is complete and consistent 
with source documents throughout the study (ICH GCP 4.9.1 4.9.2). The PI may 
sign/re-sign the eCRF from any computer/location by accessing InForm (or other 
eDC platform) using his/her unique eCRF log-in credentials. The PI may delegate 
this activity to another medically qualified and trained sub-investigator and this must 
be documented on the Delegation of Responsibilities (DoR) Log. It is recommended 
that the PI identifies a sub-investigator as a back-up for eCRF signatures. The sub-
investigator must be appropriately trained on the protocol and eCRF requirements 
(with training documented), and the DoR log updated accordingly. 
• 
Essential Document Sign Off Process: If an investigator is unable to print and sign 
essential documents such as Protocol /Amendment signature page then Email 
approval can be accepted by replying to the relevant email that is sent by GSK.

a. 
Informed Consent must be obtained prior to initiating any study assessments. Pre-screening Visit 0 can occur any time from 0 to 14 days before Screening Visit 1. 
b. 
Randomisation Visit 2 is 1 week after Screening Visit 1 but can be extended to up to 6 weeks after Visit 1 if, for example, a participant has an exacerbation during the run-in 
period. Results from Screening Visit 1 procedures must be available for review of randomisation criteria.  
c. 
If a participant withdraws from the study, then the Withdraw from Study (WS) Visit should be conducted 26 weeks after the last administered dose of study intervention, i.e., at 
Week 26 if the second dose of study intervention was not received, or at Week 52 if the second dose of study intervention was received. A follow-up visit/call should also be 
conducted 30 weeks after the last dose of study intervention for AE/SAE assessments and pregnancy testing.  
d. 
Informed Consent for optional genetics research must be obtained before collecting a sample. China only:  Genetic Informed Consent will not be collected from participants in 
China. Genetic blood samples will not be collected from participants in China. 
e. 
To be randomised, participants without a historical blood eosinophil count of ≥300 cells/µL in the 12 months prior to Screening Visit 1, must have a blood eosinophil count of ≥150 
cells/µL at Screening Visit 1. If the Screening Visit test result does not meet the blood eosinophil count eligibility criteria, the laboratory  assessment may be repeated, at the 
discretion of the investigator, if it is judged to be likely in the eligible range for study inclusion within the run-in period prior to Visit 2.

• 
Approximately 540 participants with severe uncontrolled asthma with an 
eosinophilic phenotype will be screened to ensure the randomisation of 
375 participants in a 2:1 ratio to GSK3511294 (n=250) and matching 
placebo (n=125). 
• 
A sample size of 375 randomised will provide 99% power to demonstrate 
superiority of GSK3511294 100 mg SC + SoC following two doses (at Week 
0 and at Week 26) compared with placebo + SoC in annualised rate of 
clinically significant exacerbations over 52 weeks, based on the true 
annualised rate of exacerbations in the placebo arm being 1.18 , an 
assumed true treatment difference of a 50% reduction and at a 5% two-
sided significance level. 
• 
Participants who receive both doses of study intervention and complete 
the Exit Visit will be eligible to participate in an open-label extension 
(OLE) study (Study 212895), during which they will receive two doses of 
open-label GSK3511294 100 mg SC over another 52 weeks.

Assignment 
The study will consist of a pre-screen period (0-2 weeks), a run-in period (1-6 
weeks), and a study intervention period (52 weeks). After the run-in period, 
participants will be randomised in a 2:1 ratio using an interactive response 
technology (IRT) system in a blinded manner to receive either GSK3511294 100 
mg or placebo by SC injection. Randomisation will be stratified based on baseline 
ICS dose (medium or high dose). Two doses of study intervention will be 
administered in the clinic: the first at randomisation Visit 2 (Week 0) and the

second at Visit 10 (Week 26). Participants will be assessed at each scheduled visit 
(a total of 17 study visits) during the 52-week treatment phase. Study visits may 
be conducted remotely (by a home healthcare professional) or virtually, however, 
in-person clinic visits are required for the following: pre-screening Visit 0, 
screening Visit 1, randomisation Visit 2, Visit 3, Visit 10, Visit 11, Exit Visit 17, and 
WS Visit (if applicable).  
Participants will remain on their existing stable maintenance asthma therapy 
throughout the study.

A blinded data analysis is also planned to complete a psychometric 
analysis of the ADSD/ANSD and

• 
Regular IDMC reviews of safety data are planned.  
2. 
STATISTICAL HYPOTHESES  
The primary study objective is to test for the superiority of GSK3511294 100 mg SC + 
SoC following two doses (at Week 0 and at Week 26) compared with placebo + SoC, 
assessed by the annualised rate of clinically significant exacerbations measured over the 
study intervention period of 52 weeks. 
The study will test at a 5% two-sided significance level the null hypothesis that there is 
no difference in annualised exacerbation rate between GSK3511294 and placebo. 
2.1. 
Multiplicity Adjustment 
The treatment comparison of interest for the primary and secondary endpoints is 
GSK3511294 100 mg SC + SoC vs placebo + SoC. A fixed sequence hierarchical testing 
procedure will be used to provide strong control of Type I error for multiplicity arising 
from the primary and multiple secondary endpoints. This will be carried out using a 
stepdown closed testing procedure where inference for an endpoint in the predefined 
hierarchy will be dependent on statistical significance having been achieved for the 
previous endpoints in the hierarchy. For example, for the primary endpoint, GSK3511294 
+ SoC will be compared to placebo + SoC at a two-sided 5% level. The next endpoint in 
the hierarchy (i.e. the first secondary endpoint) will be tested only if the test for the 
primary endpoint is significant at the two-sided 5% level. Testing will continue down the 
hierarchy for the remaining endpoints in an equivalent manner only if the previous 
endpoint in the hierarchy achieves statistical significance. 
The hierarchy of the primary and secondary endpoints to be tested is as follows: 
1. Annualised rate of clinically significant exacerbations over 52 weeks 
2. Change from baseline in SGRQ at Week 52 
3. Change from baseline in ACQ-5 at Week 52 
4. Change from baseline in clinic pre-bronchodilator FEV1 at Week 52 
5. Change from baseline in ANSD at Week 52

STATISTICAL ANALYSES 
4.1. 
General Considerations 
4.1.1. 
General Methodology 
The Full Analysis Set (FAS) will be used for all Study Population, Efficacy, 
Immunogenicity and PD analyses, unless otherwise stated. The Safety analysis set will be 
used for safety analyses, unless otherwise stated. PK analysis sets will be used for PK 
data analysis. FAS-China, Safety-China and PK-China will be used for China outputs. 
The Output and Programming Specification (OPS) document will provide more details. 
Confidence intervals will use 95% confidence intervals (CI) unless otherwise specified. 
Unless otherwise specified, continuous data will be summarised using descriptive 
statistics: n, mean, standard deviation (std), median, minimum and maximum. 
Categorical data will be summarised as the number and percentage of participants in each 
category. 
For endpoints that are formally modelled, summary statistics will be provided. In the 
statistical analysis where covariates are included in the modelling, the following approach 
will be applied: 
• The covariate of exacerbation history is classified as 2, 3, 4+. In the event that 
exacerbation history is <2, it will be included in the category of ‘2’.  
• For the covariate of baseline pre-bronchodilator % predicted FEV1, screening pre-
bronchodilator % predicted FEV1 will be used if baseline value is missing. If both

206713 
30 of 58 
sreeening and baseline pre-bronchodilator % predicted FEV1 are missing, a missing 
value will be assigned for this covariate.   
Where statistical models are used, if there are important departures from the 
distributional assumptions, transformations of covariates or alternative models may be 
explored as supporting analyses. 
Randomisation is stratified based on baseline ICS dose (medium or high). All statistical 
models will include this stratum as a covariate. In the case of wrong stratification 
assigned at the time of randomization, the analyses will be performed based on the data 
collected in the CRF, not the assigned stratum at randomization. 
 
Assessments collected at withdrawal visit will be included in summary tables but won’t 
be included in any statistical analysis. 
 
4.1.2. 
Baseline Definition 
Baseline values for visit based assessments and 
 assessments are defined in Table

Unless otherwise stated, if baseline is missing, no derivation will be performed and 
baseline will be set to missing.

NOTES : 
• 
Only records that have been assigned a treatment phase of ‘pre-treatment’ will be considered as baseline 
assessments. 
• 
ADSD is to be completed before going to bed and refers to asthma symptoms during the day. Day 1 assement of 
ADSD will not be pre-dose. Therefore an average of measurements from Day -7 to Day -1 is defined as the 
baseline for ADSD/ANSD. 
• 
Baseline Definitions will be used for derivations for endpoints / parameters and indicated on summaries and 
Listings. 
• 
Unless otherwise stated, if baseline data is missing no derivation will be performed and will be set to missing. 
4.1.3. 
Multicenter Studies 
For the purposes of covariate adjustment in the statistical analysis, countries will be 
grouped into regions. The following regions are defined: 
• European (Czechia, France, Germany, Italy, Ireland, Poland, Spain, UK) 
• US 
• Rest of World (Canada, China, Russia) 
 
If there are insufficient subjects in each region for the statistical procedures to converge 
satisfactorily, the combining of regions will be considered. 
4.2. 
Primary Endpoint Analyses 
4.2.1. 
Definition of endpoint 
The primary endpoint is the annualized rate of clinically significant exacerbations over 
the 52 weeks following randomisation. 
Clinically significant exacerbations of asthma are defined as worsening of asthma 
requiring the use of systemic corticosteroids (IM, IV or oral) and/or hospitalisation and/or 
ED visit (see protocol Section 8.2.2). For all participants, IV or oral steroids (e.g., 
prednisone) for at least 3 days or a single IM CS dose is required. For participants on 
maintenance systemic CSs, at least double the existing maintenance dose for at least 3 
days is required.   
Exacerbations recorded in the eCRF are considered as verified clinically significant 
exacerbations and will be included in the primary analysis.  
Exacerbations separated by less than 7 days will be treated as a continuation of the same 
exacerbation.

Model Specification 
•

• 
Terms in the model: 
• 
Response: SGRQ Total score or ACQ-5 score or pre-bronchodilator FEV1 at each visit. 
• 
Categorical: treatment group, baseline ICS dose (medium or high), exacerbation history (variable (2, 3, 
4+)), geographical region, visit  
• 
Continuous: baseline (SGRQ Total score, or ACQ-5 score, baseline pre-bronchodilator % predicted 
FEV1) 
• 
Interaction: baseline*visit, treatment group*visit 
• 
Repeated:  visit  
• 
The MMRM analysis for SGRQ total scores will include data collected at Weeks 4, 12, 26, 40 and 52.  
• 
The MMRM analysis for ACQ-5 score will include data collected at Weeks 2, 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 26, 
28, 32, 36, 40, 44, 48 and 52. In the event the model fails to run due to too many assessments 
timepoints, timepoints included in the analysis may be reduced by keeping the timepoints of most 
interest. Suggested order for dropping timepoints is week 44, 20, 36, 16, 32, 48, 24, 28. 
• 
The MMRM analysis for pre-bronchodilator FEV1 will include data collected at Weeks 26 and 52. 
• 
The model will be fit with an unstructured variance-covariance matrix. 
• 
The Kenward and Roger method (KR) for approximating the denominator degrees of freedom and 
correcting for bias in the estimated variance-covariance of the fixed effects will be used.  In the event 
the model fails to run using the KR method, then the residual method will be used instead. In the event 
the model fails to run using residual method and assessments are from many timepoints, timepoints 
included in the analysis may be reduced by keeping the timepoints/intervals of most interest. 
• 
Baseline is defined in Section 4.1.2 
• 
Two models will be fitted; one with a response variable of change from baseline and one with the 
response variable as the raw value. 
• 
 
Model Checking & Diagnostics 
• 
Distributional assumptions underlying the model used for analysis will be examined by obtaining a 
normal probability plot of the residuals and a plot of the residuals versus the fitted values (i.e. checking 
the normality assumption and constant variance assumption of the model respectively) to gain 
confidence that the model assumptions are reasonable. 
Results Presentation

4.3.3. 
Main analytical approach for annualised rate of exacerbations 
requiring hospitalisation and/or ED visit over 52 weeks 
The annualised rate of exacerbations requiring hospitalisation and/or ED visit over 52 
weeks will be analysed using a negative binomial generalised linear model, as described 
for the primary endpoint, Section 4.2.2 for details. This endpoint would only be analysed 
in the event that a total of 20 or more exacerbations requiring hospitalisation and/or ED 
visit occurred in the study. 
4.3.4. 
Sensitivity analyses 
The sensitivity analyses for the primary endpoint as described in Section 4.2.3 will also 
be performed for the secondary endpoints.

Safety Analyses 
All safety analyses will be performed on the Safety Analysis Set unless otherwise 
specified. Summaries of data will report data according to the nominal visit for which it 
was recorded. Occurrence of Adverse Events (AEs), Serious Adverse Events (SAEs), 
Adverse Events of Special Interest (AESIs), laboratory data, vital signs, and ECGs will 
be included in data displays in the form of frequency Tables, summary statistics, graphs, 
and statistical analyses where appropriate.  
4.6.1. 
Extent of Exposure 
Two doses of study treatment will be administered during study treatment period: the 
first at randomisation Visit 2 (Week 0) and the second at Visit 10 (Week 26). Each dose 
is viewed as providing therapeutic coverage for 26 weeks (182 days). The number of 
treatments administered and the number of days exposure will be summarised 
descriptively and listed. Total subject-year exposure will also be presented.  
 
Number of days of exposure to study treatment will be calculated as follow:   
Duration of Exposure in Days = (Date of Final Dose) – (Date of First Dose) + 182 
Subject years exposure is calculated as follow: 
Subject Years Exposure = ((Date of Final Dose) – (Date of First Dose) + 182)/365.25 
The exposure summary will also be presented by age subgroup (12-17, 18-64, ≥65). 
4.6.2. 
Adverse Events 
Adverse events analyses including the analysis of adverse events (AEs), Serious AEs 
(SAEs) and other significant AEs will be based on GSK Core Data Standards.  
An overview summary of AEs, including counts and percentages of participants with any 
AE, AEs related to study intervention, AEs leading to permanent discontinuation of study 
intervention or withdrawal from study, study intervention related AEs leading to 
permanent discontinuation of study intervention or withdrawal from study, SAEs, SAEs 
related to study intervention, fatal SAEs, and fatal SAEs related to study intervention will 
be produced. These summaries will also be produced by age subgroup (12-17, 18-64, 
≥65). 
Adverse events will be coded using the standard Medical Dictionary for Regulatory 
Affairs (MedDRA dictionary). 
The frequency and percentage of AEs will be summarised in two ways: 1) in descending 
order by System Organ Class (SOC) and Preferred Term (PT), where exposure-adjusted 
incidence rate will also be summarised. 2) in descending order by PT only.

Common (>=3%) AEs will be summarised by overall frequency and summarised by time 
to onset. 
A separate summary will be provided for study intervention-related AEs. A study 
intervention-related AE is defined as an AE for which the investigator classifies the 
possible relationship to study intervention as “Yes”. A worst-case scenario approach will 
be taken to handle missing relatedness data, i.e. the summary Table will include events 
with the relationship to study intervention as ‘Yes’ or missing. The summary Table will 
be displayed in descending order by SOC and PT. 
All SAEs will be tabulated based on the number and percentage of participants who 
experienced the event. Separate summaries will also be provided for study intervention-
related SAEs. The summary Tables will be displayed in descending order by SOC and 
PT.   
A study intervention-related SAE is defined as an SAE for which the investigator

4.6.2.1. 
Adverse Events of Special Interest 
Adverse events of special interest (AESI) for GSK3511294 program include: 
• Allergic (Type 1 hypersensitivity)  reactions including anaphylaxis 
Note:  these events will be assessed by the investigator as to whether they meet the 
diagnostic criteria for anaphylaxis as outlined by the 2006 Joint NIAID/FAAN 
Second Symposium on Anaphylaxis. 
• Type III hypersensitivity (immune complex disease/vasculitis) reactions 
• Local injection site reactions 
• QTc prolongation 
AESI reported by the investigator as systemic reactions (further categorised by the 
investigator as either allergic [type I hypersensitivity] or other systemic reactions and 
assessed against Sampson criteria for anaphylaxis) are collected via targeted eCRF 
within the study. Vasculitis events and local injection site reactions are also collected 
via targeted eCRF within the study.  
Separate summary Tables showing the number and percent of subjects with each type 
of AESI (excluding QTc prolongation) broken down by preferred term will be created. 
 
For each type of AESI (excluding QTc prolongation) a profile summary Table will be 
produced containing information including, but not limited to, the number of 
occurrences of the event, event characteristics, time to onset, intensity, outcome and 
action taken.

The following descriptive summaries will be presented for the placebo group using FAS 
population: 
• Summary of binding antibody assay results for all baseline visit results. Summary 
will include categories for negative and positive results, and available titre value

Summary will include categories for negative and positive results.  
Note: Visits will include pre-dose baseline visit and all post-baseline visits where 
immunogenicity assessments were performed. The binding antibody confirmatory assay 
results are categorised as negative or positive. The positive results will have two sub 
categories: transient positive (defined as a single confirmatory positive immunogenic 
response that does not occur at the final study assessment) or persistent positive (defined 
as a confirmatory positive immunogenic response for at least 2 consecutive assessments 
or a single result at the final study assessment).  For the summary of  highest post-
baseline binding antibody confirmatory assay result and neutralizing antibody assay 
result, subjects with both positive and negative results will be identified in the positive 
category. If a subject had titre results that fall into multiple titre result categories, they 
will be included in the highest category.

Analyses on China Subpopulation 
The key study population, efficacy, safety and PK analyses and some exploratory 
analyses will be repeated in the following subpopulations (as defined in Section 3, 
Analysis Sets) respectively: 
FAS-China： All participants in the FAS population who are enrolled from China. 
Safety-China: All participants in the Safety population who are enrolled from China. 
PK-China: All participants in the PK population who are enrolled from China. 
The subpopulation analyses will employ the same model as the overall population 
analyses. For MMRM analyses, once the model cannot converge from original settings 
(including repeated visits and covariates in the models), those will be adjusted to ensure 
model convergence and obtain stable estimations. For secondary endpoint ACQ-5 
including data collected at Weeks 2, 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 26, 28, 32, 36, 40, 44, 48 and 52, 
in the event the model fails to run due to too many assessment timepoints, timepoints 
included in the analysis may be reduced by keeping the timepoints of most interest. 
Suggested order for dropping timepoints is week 44, 20, 36, 16, 32, 8, 48, 24, 28. 
 
4.11. 
 
 
. Periodic 
review of safety data by an independent data monitoring committee (IDMC) will also be 
performed. Other than the emergency unblinding procedures described in the protocol, all 
personnel having direct responsibility for the conduct of the study will remain blinded to 
treatment groups for all data until the database is frozen.

IDMC Safety Review 
IDMC will periodically review unblinded safety data from the three Phase III studies in 
the severe asthma program: 206713 (this study), 213744 and 206785,  in accordance 
with the IDMC Charter. IDMC will also review safety data from study 212895, an open-
label extension study including participants who were previously enrolled in study 
206713 or 213744 when sufficient data is collected. 
The IDMC will review all safety data, including AEs and serious adverse events 
(SAEs) and adverse events of special interest (AESI), laboratory parameters, including 
haematological and clinical chemistry parameters and ECG assessments from the three 
studies for identification of any potential safety signals. The safety data analyses for the 
IDMC reviews will be performed by an independent Statistical Data Analysis Centre 
(SDAC).

SAMPLE SIZE DETERMINATION 
Approximately 
 participants with severe uncontrolled asthma with an eosinophilic 
phenotype will be screened to ensure the randomisation of 
 participants in a 
ratio 
to GSK3511294 
 and matching placebo 
.  
5.1. 
Sample Size Assumptions 
A sample size of
 participants (
 GSK3511294 to placebo allocation ratio) is based 
on sufficient power to conclude superiority on primary and key secondary endpoints.

Sample Size Sensitivity 
The sample size and power calculations are based on assumptions about the true values 
for parameters. The power of the study is dependent on changes in these assumptions, in 
particular the assumed annualised exacerbation rates. Table 5 illustrates how changes in 
assumptions for two parameters (placebo + SoC annualised exacerbation rate and 
treatment effect) affect the power.

Sample Size Re-estimation or Adjustment 
There will be no sample size re-estimation. 
There is a possibility for randomising greater than 
participants in the study. This is 
due to local country requests or requirements, for example, the local health authority 
specifying a minimum number to be enrolled. The primary analysis and clinical study 
report (CSR) will be based on the initial target enrolment. If the study target enrolment is 
reached before a local country enrolment requirement is met, then recruitment in that 
country may continue. Participants from those countries, who have already been enrolled 
at the time of reaching the target enrolment, will be included in the primary analysis. All 
data (pre- and post-target enrolment) will be analysed together but reported later in a 
supplement to the study report. Inferences will be drawn on the original study report 
based on the target enrolment.
