Study of Different Doses of Amlitelimab Given by Injection Under the Skin in Adults with Moderate to Severe Asthma

2 1 1

What is this study about?

This study focuses on treating patients with moderate-to-severe asthma, a condition where airways become inflamed and narrow, making breathing difficult. The research evaluates a new medication called amlitelimab, which is given as a subcutaneous injection (an injection under the skin). The study aims to determine how well different doses of amlitelimab work compared to placebo in people whose asthma is not well controlled with their current treatments.

The medication being tested, amlitelimab (also known as SAR445229), is a new type of medicine that targets specific components of the immune system that may be involved in asthma. During the study, participants will receive either amlitelimab or placebo injections over a period of 48 weeks. The maximum single dose that may be given is 500 milligrams, with a total possible amount of 2,750 milligrams over the entire treatment period.

Throughout the study, doctors will monitor how well the treatment works by tracking various aspects of participants’ asthma, including how often they experience severe asthma attacks, their breathing capacity, and how well they can control their symptoms. They will also keep track of any side effects that may occur during the treatment period.

1 Initial treatment period start

You will begin receiving either amlitelimab or a placebo through subcutaneous injection (injection under the skin).

Your current asthma medications will continue throughout the study period.

2 Regular assessment visits

Your asthma will be monitored at weeks 2, 4, 8, 12, 16, 24, 36, and 48.

During these visits, several measurements will be taken:

– Breathing tests to measure lung function (FEV1 – amount of air you can exhale in one second)

– Completion of questionnaires about your asthma symptoms and quality of life

– Measurement of exhaled nitric oxide (FeNO) – a marker of airway inflammation

Blood samples will be collected to measure medication levels and check for antibodies

3 Daily monitoring

You will need to record your asthma symptoms in the morning and evening

Track your use of rescue medications (quick-relief inhalers)

Note any worsening of asthma symptoms or attacks

4 48-week evaluation

A comprehensive assessment will be performed to evaluate:

– Changes in your lung function

– Number of severe asthma attacks during the study period

– Overall asthma control

– Quality of life improvements

5 Final follow-up

Additional monitoring will continue until week 60

Final assessments of your asthma control and medication effects will be performed

Safety monitoring will be conducted throughout the entire study period

Trial locations

Investigated drugs:

Amlitelimab is an investigational medication administered by subcutaneous injection (under the skin) for treating moderate to severe asthma. It is being studied as a potential treatment option for patients whose asthma symptoms are not well controlled with their current medications. This medication works by targeting specific components of the immune system involved in asthma inflammation.

Investigated diseases:

Asthma – A chronic respiratory condition that affects the airways in the lungs, causing them to become inflamed and narrow. The airways become sensitive and react strongly to certain triggers, such as allergens, exercise, cold air, or stress. During an asthma episode, the muscles around the airways tighten, the airways become swollen, and more mucus is produced, making it difficult to breathe. Common symptoms include wheezing, coughing, shortness of breath, and chest tightness. The severity of symptoms can vary from mild to severe, and they may come and go over time.
