Main objective of the trial

To evaluate the effect of tralokinumab on eosinophilic airway infiltration in adult patients with asthma inadequately controlled with inhaled corticosteroid (ICS).

Protection of trial subjects

This study was performed in accordance with the ethical principles that have their origin in the Declaration of Helsinki and that are consistent with International Council for Harmonisation/Good Clinical Practice, applicable regulatory requirements and the AstraZeneca policy on Bioethics.

Background therapy

Patients were maintained on their currently prescribed ICS (≥250 micrograms fluticasone dry powder formulation equivalents total daily dose) + any additional maintenance asthma controller medication throughout the study.

Recruitment details

First patient enrolled: 29 Sep 2015; Last patient last visit: 21 Jun 2017. Study performed at 14 sites in 3 countries.

Screening details

224 patients signed informed consent, 172 entered screening/run-in period, 79 patients were randomised to receive investigational product (IP) and all those randomised received treatment.

Blinding implementation details

Neither the patient nor any of the investigator or sponsor staff who are involved in the treatment or clinical evaluation and monitoring of the patients will be aware of the study treatment received. Since tralokinumab and placebo are visually distinct, IP will be handled by an unblinded IP manager at the site and will be administered by an unblinded investigational site study team member who will not be involved in the management of study patients.

Change from baseline to Week 12, expressed as a ratio, in number of airway submucosal eosinophils

End point description

The number of airway submucosal eosinophils per millimetre squared (mm^2) was determined by microscopic evaluation of bronchoscopic biopsies. The ratio of post-randomisation value at Week 12 to baseline value was computed as (Week 12 value / baseline value). The change from baseline to Week 12 (ratio) in the number of airway submucosal eosinophils is presented as geometric mean (back-transformed to be original scale), with standard deviation (SD) values presented on the log scale. Results are presented for the FAS comprising all randomised patients who received any IP.

Were there any global substantial amendments to the protocol? Yes

26 Feb 2015

- Text was revised to state that all patients would be followed up for a period of 14 weeks and that women of child bearing potential only would have an on-site follow-up visit at Week 26 to ascertain their pregnancy status. This revision was implemented following a request by the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency.

15 Jan 2016

- For completion of the eosinophil evaluation, secondary objectives were updated to include assessment of sputum eosinophil levels. Submucosal eosinophil staining was removed as an outcome variable since this was included in the primary outcome variable. - To clarify that functional respiratory imaging analysis was optional and may be performed later pending other results from the study as well as the outcome of the pivotal studies, exploratory objectives relating to airway volume and resistance for entire airway tree were updated. - Revisions were applied to other exploratory objectives for the following reasons: to build flexibility to perform additional exploratory analysis; to clarify that both pre-bronchodilator (BD); and post-BD spirometry could be included; to allow the acceptance of both ‘PC20’ (provocative concentration required to achieve a 20% reduction in forced expiratory volume in 1 second [FEV1]) and ‘PD20’ (provocative dose required to achieve a 20% reduction in FEV1) in the airway hyper-responsiveness exploratory objective outcome variable; to make the RNA exploratory objective more specific; to remove sputum eosinophils from the exploratory variables since this was included as a secondary outcome measure; to provide flexibility for spirometry assessments; to clarify that whole body plethysmography was to be performed post-BD. - Discontinuation criteria were revised to allow subjects with an asthma-related event requiring non-invasive ventilation to continue with IP.

Were there any global interruptions to the trial? No

Limitations of the trial such as small numbers of subjects analysed or technical problems leading to unreliable data.

The results for differential sputum eosinophils and sputum free ECP levels should be viewed cautiously due to the small sample size and wide variability in results for sputum analyses.
