Annualized rate of asthma exacerbation events
Asthma exacerbation event defined as: worsening of asthma requiring the use of systemic corticosteroids for ≥3 days; or hospitalization or emergency room visit due to asthma and requiring the use of systemic corticosteroids or death due to asthma
Measured: From baseline up to 52 weeks
Secondary outcomes (11)
Change from baseline in prebronchodilator (BD) forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1)
Measured: From baseline to week 52
Change from baseline in Asthma Control Questionnaire5 (ACQ-5) score
The ACQ-5 is a questionnaire that measures the adequacy of asthma control and any changes in asthma control that may occur spontaneously or as a result of treatment. The ACQ-5 has five questions on the asthma symptoms and patients are asked to recall how their asthma has been during the previous week and to respond on a 7-point scale for each question (0 = no impairment, 6 = maximum impairment). The ACQ-5 score is the mean of the 5 questions and, therefore, between 0 (totally controlled) and 6 (severely uncontrolled). A high score indicates low asthma control.
Measured: From baseline to week 52
Change from baseline in FeNO level
Measured: From baseline to week 52
Annualized rate of loss of asthma control events (LOAC) events
Annualized rate of LOAC events defined by 1 or more of the following criteria:
- ≥30% reduction from baseline in morning PEF on 2 consecutive days
- ≥6 additional reliever puffs of SABA in a 24-hour period (compared to baseline) on 2 consecutive days OR ≥4 additional puffs of low-dose budesonide/formoterol or budesonide/albuterol in a 24-hour period (compared to baseline) on 2 consecutive days
- Worsening of asthma requiring the use of systemic corticosteroids for ≥3 days
- Hospitalization or emergency room visit because of asthma, requiring systemic corticosteroids (asthma exacerbation event)
- Death due to asthma
Measured: From baseline to week 52
Annualized rate of asthma exacerbations requiring hospitalization or emergency room or urgent care visit
Measured: From baseline to week 52
Total systemic corticosteroid dose exposure
Measured: From baseline to week 52
Change from baseline in Asthma Quality of Life Questionnaire Standardized (AQLQ{S}) scores
Measured: From baseline to week 52
Change from baseline in the Asthma Daytime Symptom Diary (ADSD) daily morning and evening score
Measured: From baseline to week 52
Serum lunsekimig concentrations
Measured: From baseline to week 56
Incidence and titer of anti-drug antibodies (ADA) against lunsekimig
Measured: From baseline to week 56
Incidence of participants with treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs), including local reactions, adverse events of special interests (AESIs), serious adverse events (SAEs)
Measured: From baseline to week 56

Clinical summary
The research question as the sponsor registered it. This describes what the study plans to test, not what it found.
This is a parallel-group, Phase 2, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, 2-arm study for the treatment of asthma.
The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of add-on therapy with subcutaneous (SC) lunsekimig compared with placebo in male and female participants (aged 18 to 80 years, inclusive) with asthma, who are not currently eligible for biologic treatments.
Study details include:
- The study duration will be approximately 64 weeks for participants not transitioning into the LTS study and approximately 60 weeks for participants transitioning into the LTS study.
- The investigational treatment duration will be up to approximately 52 weeks.
- The number of visits will be 18.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 2 study testing Lunsekimig, Short-Acting Beta Agonists (SABA) and Fluticasone/Salmeterol in people with Asthma, run by Sanofi at 221 sites in 22 countries.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 9 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: under way, not looking for participants, as of the sponsor's last update on 22 Sep 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 221 sites in United States, China, Argentina, Spain, Italy and 17 more countries. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
What does this phase mean?
Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.
Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.
Are results available for this study?
This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Annualized rate of asthma exacerbation events (time frame: From baseline up to 52 weeks). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 22 Sep 2026.
