About this study

To assess the efficacy and safety of tezepelumab in pediatric participants with severe uncontrolled asthma on medium to high-dose inhaled corticosteroids (ICS) and at least one additional asthma controller medication with or without oral corticosteroids.

Sponsor: AstraZeneca

You may qualify if…

✓ 1. Written informed consent from (ICF) at least one parent/caregiver (as per local guidelines) and accompanying informed assent from the participant (where the participant is able to provide assent) prior to admission to the study.
✓ 2. Participants must be 5 to \< 12 years of age, at the time of signing the assent form (as applicable per local guidelines) and their caregivers signing the ICF and at Visit 3.
✓ 3. Documented physician diagnosis of severe asthma confirmed and evaluated for at least 6 months prior to Visit 1.
✓ 4. Documented physician-prescribed treatment with a total daily dose of either medium or high dose, for at least 3 months with stable dose ≥ 1 month prior to Visit 1.
✓ 5. Documented treatment with at least one additional maintenance asthma controller medication is required according to local guidelines and standard of care; (long-acting beta agonist, leukotriene receptor antagonist, long-acting muscarinic antagonist) for at least 3 months with stable dose ≥ 1 month prior to Visit 1.
✓ 6. Supportive evidence of asthma as documented by one of the following:
✓ 1. Post-BD (albuterol/salbutamol) responsiveness of FEV1 ≥ 10% during Screening (15 to 30 min after administration of 4 puffs of albuterol/salbutamol with a maximum of 12 puffs of reliever medication only if tolerated by the participant) at either Visit 1 or Visit 2.
✓ If (a) is not achieved at Visit 1 or Visit 2, historical documentation by any of the below prior to Visit 1:

You may not qualify if…

✕ 1. History of vocal cord dysfunction, cystic fibrosis, primary ciliary dyskinesia, or chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyposis.
✕ 2. History of any clinically significant disease or disorder other than asthma which, in the opinion of the investigator, may either put the participant at risk because of participation in the study, or influence the results or the participant's ability to participate in the study.
✕ 3. History of a clinically significant deterioration in asthma or asthma exacerbation including those requiring use of systemic corticosteroids or increase in the maintenance dose of oral corticosteroids within 30 days prior to Visit 1.
✕ 4. Change in ICS dose within 1 month prior to Visit 1.
✕ 5. History of a life-threatening asthma exacerbation resulting in a hypoxic seizure or requiring intubation.
