What is being tested?
The trial is testing AZD4604, an experimental drug for asthma delivered via inhaler twice daily against a placebo over 12 weeks. It's double-blind, meaning neither participants nor researchers know who gets the real drug versus placebo to ensure unbiased results.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
While specific side effects of AZD4604 aren't listed here, common side effects for new asthma treatments can include throat irritation, headache, respiratory infections, and possible allergic reactions.
