Trial Summary

What is the purpose of this trial?

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect on airway inflammation and JAK1-associated signalling pathways of AZD4604 compared with placebo in participants with moderate-to-severe asthma. Study details include: * The study duration for each participant will be approximately 10 weeks. * The duration of IMP administration will be approximately 4 weeks.

Do I need to stop my current medications to join the trial?

The trial requires participants to be on a stable dose of certain asthma medications, like medium-to-high dose inhaled corticosteroids and long-acting beta agonists, for at least 2 months before starting. However, you cannot be on systemic corticosteroids or certain other medications like immunosuppressive therapies and some biologics. It's best to discuss your current medications with the trial team to see if they fit the criteria.
