Abstract

In some patients with moderate-to-severe asthma, particularly those with noneosinophilic inflammation, the disease remains uncontrolled. This trial evaluated the efficacy and safety of tezepelumab (AMG 157/MEDI9929), a human monoclonal antibody specific for the epithelial-cell–derived cytokine thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP), in patients whose asthma remained uncontrolled despite treatment with long-acting beta-agonists and medium-to-high doses of inhaled glucocorticoids.
