How this study is set up
The points below are drawn from the public registry record for this study. Each one cites the field or sentence it came from. A dash (—) means the record does not state something — not that it is missing or wrong. Many well-run studies, especially small ones, leave some of these blank.
- Not stated: Registered after enrolment began (about 22 days after the recorded start)First posted 2025-04-17; recorded start 2025-03-26
- Present: Has a defined primary outcomeA primary outcome measure is listed in the record
- Present: The primary outcome states a time frameThe primary outcome measure records a time frame
- Present: Participants are randomly assignedAllocation is recorded as randomised
- Present: Has a comparison groupThe record lists a placebo or comparator arm, or more than one study arm
- Present: Uses blinding (masking)A masking level is recorded in the record
- Not stated: An ethics committee is not stated in the registry recordThis registry's ingested record has no ethics-committee field

- Not stated: A data monitoring committee is not stated in the registry recordThis registry's ingested record has no data-monitoring-committee fieldA data monitoring committee is not required for many smaller studies, and its absence here is not unusual.

- Lead sponsor type recorded as: industry.
- Intervention regulatory context: investigational, within a phased regulatory pathway.
Trial stature
Three independent measures of this study, described from its registry record — not a recommendation about it. A rigorous study by investigators nobody has heard of is better evidence than a weak study led by a famous one. How these are scored.

We have no verifiable track record for the investigator named on this trial. That is common for early-career investigators and for records held outside ClinicalTrials.gov — it is not a negative signal.
How this score is built
- Investigator standing0/100
No investigator recorded in the registry for this trial
These describe the registry record only, and today we hold ClinicalTrials.gov data. Absent fields lower a score, and absence often reflects registration practice rather than study quality. A high-stature trial is not necessarily safer or a better choice for you — enrolling in a large definitive trial can mean a higher chance of receiving placebo, while a small early-phase study may be the only route to a new therapy.

Outcome measures
Primary outcome
Annualised rate of severe asthma exacerbations
The rate ratio of severe asthma exacerbations will be assessed in the participants with uncontrolled moderate-to-severe asthma and ≥ 1 severe exacerbation within 12 months prior to screening.
Time frame Over 26 to 52 weeks
Secondary outcome
Annualised rate of severe asthma exacerbations
The rate ratio of severe asthma exacerbations will be assessed in the participants with uncontrolled moderate-to-severe asthma and baseline eosinophils \< 300 cells/µL and history of ≥2 severe exacerbations within 12 months prior to screening.
Time frame Over 26 to 52 weeks
Secondary outcome
Time to first severe asthma exacerbation
To evaluate the effect of two dose levels of tozorakimab compared to placebo on time to first severe asthma exacerbations.
Time frame Over 26 to 52 weeks
Secondary outcome
Change from baseline in pre-bronchodilator forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1)
Difference in mean change from baseline between tozorakimab and placebo.
Time frame Over weeks 20 to 26
Secondary outcome
Change from baseline in post-bronchodilator FEV1
Difference in mean change from baseline between tozorakimab and placebo.
Time frame At week 26
Secondary outcome
Change from baseline in the Asthma Control Questionnaire 6 (ACQ-6)
Difference in mean change from baseline between tozorakimab and placebo. The ACQ-6 has 6 questions (regarding asthma symptoms and rescue bronchodilator use). Answering the questions results in a score out of 6. A Score of 0 indicates complete control and 6 reflects severely uncontrolled disease.
Time frame At week 26
Secondary outcome
Change from baseline in the Asthma Quality of Life Questionnaire for 12 Years and Older (AQLQ12+)
Difference in mean change from baseline between tozorakimab and placebo. The AQLQ12+ includes 32 questions grouped into four domains: symptoms; activity limitations; emotional function; and, environmental stimuli. Each question is scored on a seven-point Likert scale, which ranges from 7 (no impairment) to 1 (severe impairment). The overall score is calculated as the mean of all questions, and the four domain scores are the means of the scores for the questions in the respective domains.
Time frame At week 26
Secondary outcome
Trough serum concentrations of tozorakimab
Pharmacokinetics: concentrations of tozorakimab in trough serum.
Time frame Over 52 weeks
Secondary outcome
Anti-drug antibody incidence
Immunogenicity: Number of Participants With Positive Antibodies to tozorakimab
Time frame Over 52 weeks
