Official title: A Phase IIb, Multicentre, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled Dose Range Finding Study to Assess Efficacy and Safety of Tozorakimab in Adult Participants With Uncontrolled Asthma on Medium-to High Dose Inhaled Corticosteroids
This is a dose-range finding, double-blind, placebo-controlled, phase IIb study designed to assess efficacy and safety of tozorakimab administered subcutaneously in adult participants with uncontrolled asthma receiving medium-to-high dose inhaled corticosteroids.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
TozorakimabDrug
The drug will be administered subcutaneously.
PlaceboDrug
Placebo will be administered subcutaneously.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Tozorakimab Dose 1 | Experimental | Dosing subcutaneously tozorakimab Dose 1 Receives: Drug: Tozorakimab |
| Tozorakimab Dose 2 | Experimental | Dosing subcutaneously tozorakimab Dose 2 and placebo Receives: Drug: Tozorakimab |
| Placebo | Placebo comparator | Dosing subcutaneously with equivalent volume to tozorakimab Receives: Drug: Placebo |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Annualised rate of severe asthma exacerbations
The rate ratio of severe asthma exacerbations will be assessed in the participants with uncontrolled moderate-to-severe asthma and ≥ 1 severe exacerbation within 12 months prior to screening.
Measured: Over 26 to 52 weeks
Secondary outcomes (8)
Annualised rate of severe asthma exacerbations
The rate ratio of severe asthma exacerbations will be assessed in the participants with uncontrolled moderate-to-severe asthma and baseline eosinophils < 300 cells/µL and history of ≥2 severe exacerbations within 12 months prior to screening.
Measured: Over 26 to 52 weeks
Time to first severe asthma exacerbation
To evaluate the effect of two dose levels of tozorakimab compared to placebo on time to first severe asthma exacerbations.
Measured: Over 26 to 52 weeks
Change from baseline in pre-bronchodilator forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1)
Difference in mean change from baseline between tozorakimab and placebo.
Measured: Over weeks 20 to 26
Change from baseline in post-bronchodilator FEV1
Difference in mean change from baseline between tozorakimab and placebo.
Measured: At week 26
Change from baseline in the Asthma Control Questionnaire 6 (ACQ-6)
Difference in mean change from baseline between tozorakimab and placebo. The ACQ-6 has 6 questions (regarding asthma symptoms and rescue bronchodilator use). Answering the questions results in a score out of 6. A Score of 0 indicates complete control and 6 reflects severely uncontrolled disease.
Measured: At week 26
Change from baseline in the Asthma Quality of Life Questionnaire for 12 Years and Older (AQLQ12+)
Difference in mean change from baseline between tozorakimab and placebo. The AQLQ12+ includes 32 questions grouped into four domains: symptoms; activity limitations; emotional function; and, environmental stimuli. Each question is scored on a seven-point Likert scale, which ranges from 7 (no impairment) to 1 (severe impairment). The overall score is calculated as the mean of all questions, and the four domain scores are the means of the scores for the questions in the respective domains.
Measured: At week 26
Trough serum concentrations of tozorakimab
Pharmacokinetics: concentrations of tozorakimab in trough serum.
Measured: Over 52 weeks
Anti-drug antibody incidence
Immunogenicity: Number of Participants With Positive Antibodies to tozorakimab
Measured: Over 52 weeks

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?
Contact AstraZeneca Clinical Study Information Center (1-877-240-9479, information.center@astrazeneca.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Annualised rate of severe asthma exacerbations (time frame: Over 26 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 25 Sep 2026.
