I have news which might be very valuable to people with severe asthma. Astra Zeneca is recruiting asthmatic patients for a clinical trial that is designed to learn if an investigational drug can effectively reduce corticosteroids use by asthmatic patients.

As a CureClick Ambassador I want to share this information with my readers because it could be helpful in the treatment of the disease.

Information about the clinical trial and eligibility requirements are listed below:

Title

Patients with severe asthma on oral corticosteroids

Condition

Severe Asthma

Phase

3

Description

One of the few treatment options for severe asthma patients who are uncontrolled despite standard treatment is the addition of oral corticosteroids. However, regular intake of these oral corticosteroids can decrease the quality of life for such patients. The purpose of this research study is to see whether the investigational drug can reduce the use of oral corticosteroids in patients with severe asthma.

Enrollment

210

Sponsor

Astra Zeneca

Drug

Benralizumab

Age Range

18-75 years old

For those of you whom are not familiar with clinical trials, here's some information that you can use:

What Are Clinical Trials?

Clinical trials are research studies to determine whether investigational drugs or treatments are safe and effective for humans.

All investigational devices and medicines must undergo several clinical trials, often times these clinical trials require thousands of people.

Why participate in a clinical trial?

People whom are eligible will have access to new investigational treatments that would be available to the general public only upon approval.

People whom are eligible for clinical trials will also receive study-related medical care and attention from clinical staff at research facilities.

Clinical trials offer hope for many people and gives researchers a chance to find better treatment for others in the future.
