ATLAS Trial Summary

This trial is testing whether dupilumab can prevent or slow the rate of decline in lung function in patients with uncontrolled moderate to severe asthma, compared to standard of care therapy. The trial will last for 3 years, with a follow-up period of up to 12 weeks after treatment.

Who is the study for?
Adults with uncontrolled moderate to severe asthma who have had a recent asthma attack requiring steroids or an ER visit, poor lung function (FEV1 ≤ 80%), and not well controlled on current meds. Must be non-smokers for at least 6 months and without other significant health issues like active infections, cancer in the past 5 years, or immune system problems.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The trial is testing Dupilumab against a placebo to see if it can slow down worsening of lung function in adults with serious asthma. Participants will either get Dupilumab or a fake drug (placebo) alongside their regular treatments for three years, without knowing which one they're getting.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Dupilumab may cause injection site reactions, eye inflammation or irritation, joint pain, and allergic reactions. It might also increase the risk of cold sores around your mouth or an increased count of a type of white blood cell called eosinophils.
