A study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of benralizumab administered subcutaneously in patients ≥ 6 to \< 18 years of age with severe eosinophilic asthma, including a well-documented history of asthma exacerbations and uncontrolled asthma receiving high-dose inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) plus at least one additional controller medication.
Phase 3 trials are pivotal studies with large patient populations (hundreds to thousands) designed to prove efficacy and safety for FDA submission. A successful Phase 3 readout is typically the last major hurdle before a New Drug Application (NDA) or BLA filing.
Enrollment is complete. The trial is in its follow-up or data collection phase — a readout may occur on or near the primary completion date.
AstraZeneca (AZN) is the sponsoring company for this trial. BiotechSign currently grades this company C (51/100) based on composite catalyst signals across its full pipeline. This trial is one data point in that overall catalyst picture.
