Clinical Trial Summary

This is a randomised, placebo-controlled, double-blind study to assess the efficacy and safety of Atuliflapon administered once daily over a 12-week treatment period to adult participants with moderate to severe uncontrolled asthma.

Description:

The study will enroll participants with moderate to severe uncontrolled asthma who are on low-dose inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) - a long-acting beta-agonist (LABA) or medium-to-high-dose ICS with or without LABA background treatment. The study will be initiated by Lead-in pharmacokinetics (PK) cohort in asthma participants. Participant will be randmised globally, includig particpants in Lead-in PK cohort and in Part 1 of the study. In the Lead-in PK cohort, participants will be randomised to Atuliflapon or placebo (recruitment completed). In Part 1 of the study, participants will be stratified based on high or low levels of biomarker at screening (Visit 1) and randomised 1:1 to Atuliflapon or placebo. An event-driven interim analysis will be performed once 30 participants with at least 1 CompEx (Composite endpoint for Exacerbations) event are observed in the group having high levels of biomarker.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Time to first CompEx Asthma event	The clinical efficacy of Atuliflapon Dose A will be assessed by calculating a Hazard Ratio between the treatment arms, Atuliflapon Dose A vs. placebo, in a selected population (based on biomarker level).; CompEx Asthma, a novel composite endpoint for exacerbations, captures asthma-worsening episodes based on a combination of diary events (worsening in daily peak expiratory flow (PEF), asthma symptoms and reliever medication use) plus severe asthma exacerbation events.	Baseline up to Week 12
Secondary	Time to first CompEx Asthma event (Composite endpoint for Exacerbations)	The clinical efficacy of Atuliflapon Dose A will be identified by determining a selected biomarker threshold using the Hazard Ratio of Atuliflapon Dose A vs. placebo, in all participants (with both high and low levels of biomarker) randomised to either placebo or Atuliflapon arms.	Baseline up to Week 12
Secondary	Time to first CompEx Asthma event (Composite endpoint for Exacerbations)	The clinical efficacy of Atuliflapon Dose A will be assessed by calculating the Hazard Ratio of Atuliflapon Dose A vs. placebo, in all participants (with both high and low levels of biomarker) randomised to either placebo or Atuliflapon arms.	Baseline up to Week 12
Secondary	Change from baseline in Pre-bronchodilator forced expiratory volume in 1 second	The clinical efficacy of Atuliflapon will be evaluated in comparison to placebo (based on biomarker) of adult participants with moderate-to-severe uncontrolled asthma.	Baseline, Week 4 and Week 12
Secondary	Change from baseline in St. George's Respiratory Questionnaire	The clinical efficacy of Atuliflapon will be evaluated in comparison to placebo in adult participants with moderate-to-severe uncontrolled asthma.; The St. George's Respiratory Questionnaire (SGRQ) is a 50-item PRO (Patient Reported Outcomes) instrument to measure the health status of participants with airway obstruction diseases. The questionnaire is divided into two parts: part one consists of 8 items pertaining to the severity of respiratory symptoms in the preceding 4 weeks; part 2 consists of 42 items related to the daily activity and psychosocial impacts of the individual's respiratory condition. The SGRQ yields a total score and three domain scores (symptoms, activity, and impacts). The total score indicates the impact of disease on overall health status. This total score is expressed as a percentage of overall impairment, in which 100 represents the worst possible health status and 0 indicates the best possible health status.	Baseline, Week 4 and Week 12
Secondary	Change from baseline in Asthma Control Questionnaire 6	The clinical efficacy of Atuliflapon will be evaluated in comparison to placebo in adult participants with moderate-to-severe uncontrolled asthma.; The Asthma Control Questionnaire 6 (ACQ-6) has 6 questions (the top scoring 5 symptoms and daily rescue bronchodilator use). The symptom and bronchodilator use questions on a 7-point scale (0 = no impairment, 6 = maximum impairment). Score 0 means totally controlled and 6 reflects severely uncontrolled.	Baseline Week 4, Week 8, Week 12
Secondary	Change from baseline in average morning and evening Peak Expiratory Flow Measurement	The clinical efficacy of Atuliflapon will be evaluated in comparison to placebo in adult participants with moderate-to-severe uncontrolled asthma.	Baseline Week 4, Week 8, Week 12
Secondary	Change from baseline in Daily asthma symptom score (total, daytime, and night-time)	The clinical efficacy of Atuliflapon will be evaluated in comparison to placebo in adult participants with moderate-to-severe uncontrolled asthma.; Asthma symptom scores during night-time and day-time will be assessed by the participant each morning and evening according to the following scoring system: (0) You have no asthma symptoms; (1): You are aware of your asthma symptoms, but you can easily tolerate the symptoms; (2): Your asthma is causing you enough discomfort to cause problems with normal activities (or with sleep); (3): You are unable to do your normal activities (or to sleep) because of your asthma. Here, low score reflects no asthma symptoms and high score suggests severe or frequent symptoms.	Baseline Week 4, Week 8, Week 12
Secondary	Time to first severe asthma exacerbation	The clinical efficacy of Atuliflapon will be evaluated in comparison to placebo in adult participants with moderate-to-severe uncontrolled asthma.	Baseline up to Week 12
Secondary	Event status (CompEx Asthma event yes/no)	The clinical efficacy of Atuliflapon will be evaluated in comparison to placebo in adult participants with moderate-to-severe uncontrolled asthma.	Baseline up to Week 12
Secondary	Lead-in PK: Area under the curve (AUC)	PK parameter of Atuliflapon will be assessed. Participants will be randomised to Atuliflapon Dose A in the Lead-in PK Cohort.	Day 1 and Day 15
Secondary	Lead-in PK: Maximum (or peak) serum concentration (Cmax)	PK parameter of Atuliflapon will be assessed. Participants will be randomised to Atuliflapon Dose A in the Lead-in PK Cohort.	Day 1 and Day 15
Secondary	Lead-in PK cohort: Pre-dose trough concentration (Ctrough)	PK parameter of Atuliflapon will be assessed. Participants will be randomised to Atuliflapon Dose A in the Lead-in PK Cohort.	Day 15
Secondary	Part 1 Cohort: Atuliflapon plasma concentrations in all participants, pre-dose samples	To pre-dose plasma concentrations of Atuliflapon will be summarised.	Baseline, Week 4 and Week 12
Secondary	Number of participants with adverse events (AEs)	The safety and tolerability of Atuliflapon will be assessed in adult participants with moderate-to-severe uncontrolled asthma.	Baseline up to Week 12
