Trial Summary

What is the purpose of this trial?

Asthma is a chronic condition marked by narrowed and swollen airways due to inflammation leading to recurring symptoms that can vary and worsen unpredictably. The purpose of this study is to assess how depemokimab, a monoclonal antibody, affects the structure and function of the lungs in asthmatic participants with type 2 inflammation, characterized by an eosinophilic phenotype.
