Conditions
Brief summary
This is a Phase IIa, randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind, multicenter, two-arm study to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and pharmacokinetics of MTPS9579A as an add-on therapy in patients with uncontrolled moderate to severe asthma who are receiving daily ICS therapy and at least one of the following additional controller medications: long-acting beta-agonist (LABA), leukotriene modulator (leukotriene modifier \[LTM\] or leukotriene receptor antagonist \[LTRA\]), long-acting muscarinic antagonist (LAMA), or long-acting theophylline preparation.
Interventions
MTPS9579A IV infusion will be administered at the randomization visit (Week 2), Week 6, and every 4 weeks through Week 46.
Placebo matching MTPS9579A will be administered at the randomization visit (Week 2), Week 6, and every 4 weeks thereafter through Week 46.

| Time to First Composite Asthma Exacerbations (CompEX) Event | Randomization [Week 2] to end of treatment (EOT) [Week 50] | CompEX is defined as time from randomization to first asthma exacerbation or diary worsening during the treatment period. Asthma exacerbation was defined as new or increased asthma symptoms (wheezing, coughing, dyspnea, chest tightness, and/or nighttime awakenings due to these symptoms) that resulted in one or both of the following: Hospitalization or emergency department visit with administration of systemic corticosteroid treatment; Treatment with systemic corticosteroids for at least 3 days, or a long-acting depot corticosteroid preparation with a therapeutic effectiveness of at least 3 days. Diary worsening is based on the occurrence of prespecified changes in the following six parameters: morning peak expiratory flow rate (PEFR), evening PEFR, morning symptom score, evening symptom score, morning short-acting rescue therapy use, and evening short-acting rescue therapy use. Hazard ratio was used for the analysis. |
