A study to investigate the effects of different dose levels of AZD7594 DPI administered once daily via inhalation over twelve weeks of treatment in asthmatics who are symptomatic on low doses of inhaled corticosteroids compared to patients given placebo. The study will evaluate the efficacy of AZD7594 DPI, how this study drug is absorbed in the blood stream, how safe and tolerable it is for the patients and which doses should be considered as optimal for further investigation.

A Phase 2b Randomised, Double Blind, Placebo Controlled, Parallel Arm, Multi Centre Study to Assess Efficacy and Safety of Multiple Dose Levels of AZD7594 DPI Given Once Daily for twelve weeks, compared to placebo, in Asthmatics symptomatic on low dose ICS - GRANIT

Inclusion criteria: 1. Provision of informed consent prior to any study-specific procedures 2. Men and women 18 to 85 years of age, inclusive, with body mass index (BMI) =35 3. Patients need to be non-smokers or ex-smokers (have quit e-cigarettes or other inhaled tobacco products =6 months before Visit 1) with a total smoking history of less than 10 pack-years (not applicable for e-cigarettes) 4. Documented clinical diagnosis of asthma for =6 months before Visit 1 5. Patients with moderate asthma on stable medium to high dose ICS (equivalent of budesonide >400 µg/day) or low to medium dose ICS/LABA for at least 4 weeks prior to screening (Visit 1). 6. Patients must demonstrate reversibility to inhaled bronchodilators at Visit 2 (a =12% and =200 mL improvement in FEV1 after administration of a 4 puffs of salbutamol/albuterol) 7. Pre-bronchodilator FEV1 at Visit 3 between 40% and 90% predicted at either -45 or -15 minutes pre-dose 8. At Visit 3, patients need to be symptomatic on low dose ICS as evidenced by combined daily asthma mean symptom score of >1 over the previous 7 days or SABA use on =3 of the last 7 days during the Run-in Period 9. Demonstrate the ability to use the study inhalation device properly 10. Patient able to perform acceptable pulmonary function testing for FEV1 according to American Thoracic Society/European Respiratory Society (ATS/ERS) acceptability criteria. 11. Patient is willing and able to follow study procedures and restrictions. Women of child bearing potential (WOCBP) should be stable on their chosen method of highly effective birth control for a minimum of 3 months prior to Visit 1, and willing to use that for the entire duration of the study (from the time they sign the informed consent), and for 1 month after the last dose of IP 12. For optional inclusion in the Gx component of the study, patients must provide separate informed consent for the genomic sampling and analysis (pharmacogenomic sampling is not applicable to German sites) Are the trial subjects under 18? no Number of subjects for this age range: F.1.2 Adults (18-64 years) yes F.1.2.1 Number of subjects for this age range 600 F.1.3 Elderly (>=65 years) yes F.1.3.1 Number of subjects for this age range 114

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: 1. Known or suspected hypersensitivity (including history of paradoxical bronchospasm) to any of the IPs, including budesonide, or excipients, including lactose 2. Systemic steroid use within the 6 weeks before Visit 1 3. Concomitant chronic respiratory disease (including current sleep apnea) 4. History or clinical suspicion of any clinically relevant or active disease or disorder (e.g. severe diabetes, renal or hepatic impairment, and paradoxical bronchospasm) which, in the opinion of the Investigator, may either put the patient at risk because of participation in the study, or influence the results or the patient’s ability to participate in the study, or any other safety concerns in the opinion of the Investigator 5.
