- Reduction in Rate of Asthma Exacerbations [ Time Frame: Baseline to Week 54 ]
Asthma exacerbation was defined as new or increased asthma symptoms (wheezing, coughing, dyspnea, chest tightness, and/or nighttime awakenings due to these symptoms) that result in one or both of the following: Hospitalization or emergency department visit with administration of systemic corticosteroid treatment; Treatment with systemic corticosteroids for at least 3 days, or a long-acting depot corticosteroid preparation with a therapeutic effectiveness of at least 3 days.
Adjusted rates for the overall mITT population (all participants that received at least one dose of study drug) were estimated using Poisson regression and adjusted for blood eosinophil level at the first visit, the number of asthma exacerbations requiring systemic corticosteroids in the 12 months prior to study entry, the total daily ICS dose at the first visit, and geographic region, with patient time at risk used as an offset term.
- Absolute Change in Pre-Bronchodilator Forced Expiratory Volume in 1 Second (FEV1) [ Time Frame: Baseline to Week 54 ]
FEV1 measures how much air a person can exhale during the first second of a forced breath.
Adjusted means are reported.
- Time to First Asthma Exacerbation [ Time Frame: 52 Weeks ]Asthma exacerbation was defined as new or increased asthma symptoms (wheezing, coughing, dyspnea, chest tightness, and/or nighttime awakenings due to these symptoms) that result in one or both of the following: Hospitalization or emergency department visit with administration of systemic corticosteroid treatment; Treatment with systemic corticosteroids for at least 3 days, or a long-acting depot corticosteroid preparation with a therapeutic effectiveness of at least 3 days.
- Achievement in Improvement in Standardized Asthma Quality-of-Life Questionnaire (AQLQ(S)) Score [ Time Frame: Week 54 ]
The AQLQ measures the functional problems (physical, emotional, social, and occupational) most troublesome to adults (17-70 years) with asthma. There are 32 questions in 4 domains - symptoms, activity limitation, emotional function, and environmental stimuli - scored on a 7 point scale, with 7= no impairment and 1= severely impaired. For this study, improvement achievement was defined as an increase of at least 0.5 points from baseline to week 54.
Adjusted rates are reported.
- Absolute Change in Patient-Reported Use of Short-Acting Rescue Therapy [ Time Frame: Baseline to Week 54 ]Adjusted mean values are all equal to zero.
- Proportion of Weeks Without Patient-Reported Asthma-Related Nighttime Awakenings [ Time Frame: Baseline through Week 54 ]The adjusted mean proportion of weeks without a nighttime awakening from baseline through week 54 are reported. The proportion of weeks is expressed as a percentage.
- Absolute Change in Patient-Reported Daytime Asthma Symptom Severity as Measured by the Asthma Daily Symptom Diary (ADSD) [ Time Frame: Baseline to Week 54 ]
The ADSD is a 6-item daily measure of asthma symptom severity that assesses three core categories of asthma symptoms: breathing symptoms, chest symptoms, and cough. Symptoms are rated at their worst using an 11-point numeric rating scale ranging from 0 (no symptoms) to 10 (the worst symptoms imaginable).
Adjusted means are reported.
- Percentage of Participants With Adverse Events [ Time Frame: Baseline to Week 54 ]An adverse event is any untoward medical occurrence in a participant administered a pharmaceutical product and which does not necessarily have to have a causal relationship with the treatment. An adverse event can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding, for example), symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a pharmaceutical product, whether or not considered related to the pharmaceutical product. Preexisting conditions which worsen during a study are also considered as adverse events.
- Percentage of Participants With Anti-Drug Antibodies (ADAs) [ Time Frame: Baseline ]The prevalence of ADAs at baseline was defined as the proportion of the evaluable participant population in a study that is ADA positive at baseline.
- Serum Concentration of Astegolimab (MSTT1041A) [ Time Frame: Weeks 26 and 54 ]
- Percentage of Participants With Treatment-Emergent ADAs [ Time Frame: From baseline to the first appearance of ADAs at any point post-baseline (up to Week 54) ]The incidence of ADAs at post-baseline timepoints was defined as the proportion of the study population found to have developed treatment-emergent ADAs.
