E.1.1.1 | Medical condition in easily understood language |
A particular form of asthma characterized by the presence of a high number in the lungs of a certain type of white blood cells, called eosinophils, which lead to airways inflammation and symptoms. |

E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
The primary objective of the study is to obtain additional safety data for reslizumab at a dosage of 3.0 mg/kg every 4 weeks relative to baseline for up to 24 months in pediatric and adult patients with moderate to severe eosinophilic asthma, as assessed by the following: • adverse events throughout the study • clinical laboratory test (chemistry, hematology, and urinalysis) results at weeks 4, 8, and 24, and every 24 weeks thereafter throughout the study • brief physical examination findings at all visits (every 4 weeks) throughout the study • vital signs measurements every 4 weeks throughout the study • concomitant medication usage every 4 weeks throughout the study |
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
The secondary objectives of the study are to evaluate long-term efficacy of reslizumab as assessed by the following: • pulmonary function test results, as measured by FEV1, %predicted FEV1, FVC, and FEF25-75% every 4 weeks for 16 weeks, at 24 weeks, and every 12 weeks thereafter throughout the study • short-acting beta-agonist use every 4 weeks for 16 weeks, at 24 weeks, and every 12 weeks thereafter throughout the study • ASUI every 4 weeks for 16 weeks, at 24 weeks, and every 12 weeks thereafter throughout the study • ACQ every 4 weeks for 16 weeks, at 24 weeks, and every 12 weeks thereafter throughout the study • AQLQ every 24 weeks throughout the study
Immunogenicity will be assessed by testing for the presence of antireslizumab antibodies every 24 weeks throughout the study and at the end of treatment (4 weeks after the last infusion of study drug) or early withdrawal.

E.2.3 | Trial contains a sub-study | No |
E.3 | Principal inclusion criteria |
Patients are included in the study if all of the following criteria are met: (a) The patient is male or female, 12 through 75 years of age, with a previous diagnosis of asthma. Patients 12 through 17 years of age are excluded from participating in India and Argentina; patients 66 through 75 years of age are excluded from participating in India. (b) Written informed consent is obtained. Patients 12 through 17 years old, where participating, need to provide assent in accordance with local standards. (c) Patient must have completed treatment in a previous double-blind asthma exacerbation study or received at least 2 doses of study drug treatment in a pulmonary function study. (d) The patient must be willing and able to comply with study restrictions and to remain at the clinic for the required duration during the study period, and willing to return to the clinic for the follow-up evaluation as specified in this protocol.
|
|
E.4 | Principal exclusion criteria |
Patients are excluded from participating in this study if 1 or more of the following criteria are met: (a) The patient has a clinically meaningful comorbidity that would interfere with the study schedule or procedures, or compromise the patient’s safety. (b) The patient has another confounding underlying lung disorder (eg, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, pulmonary fibrosis, or lung cancer). (c) The patient is a current smoker. (d) The patient is expected to be poorly compliant with study drug administration, study procedures, or visits. (e) The patient has any aggravating factors that are inadequately controlled (eg, gastroesophageal reflux disease [GERD]). (f) Female patients of childbearing potential (not surgically sterile or 2 years postmenopausal), must use a medically accepted method of contraception and must agree to continue use of this method for the duration of the study and for 30 days after the end of treatment visit. Acceptable methods of contraception include barrier method with spermicide, abstinence, intrauterine device (IUD), or steroidal contraceptive (oral, transdermal, implanted, and injected). (g) The patient has a current infection or disease that may preclude assessment of asthma.

E.5 End points |
E.5.1 | Primary end point(s) |
The safety of reslizumab will be assessed throughout the study by evaluating adverse events, clinical laboratory test results, vital signs measurements, brief physical examination findings, concomitant medication usage as follows: • Adverse events will be evaluated throughout the study • Chemistry, hematology, and urinalysis tests (except for urine β-HCG test conducted predose every 4 weeks for women who are not 2 years postmenopausal or surgically sterile) will be performed at baseline (endof-treatment visit of the previous Teva-sponsored double-blind study of reslizumab in eosinophilic asthma), at weeks 4, 8, and 24, and every 24 weeks thereafter until end-of-treatment visit, or early termination, and 90 days after the end of treatment visit. • Vital signs measurements, brief physical examinations, and concomitant medication usage will be assessed every 4 weeks throughout the study, and 90 days after the end of treatment visit.
