About this study

Official title: The MODIFY Study: A Phase 3b/4 Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled, Multi-centre Study Evaluating the Impact of Early Intervention With Depemokimab on Exacerbation Rate, Clinical Remission, Lung Function Decline, and Safety in Adults and Adolescents With at Risk Type 2 Asthma, Conducted up to 156 Weeks

The aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of depemokimab administered as an adjunctive therapy, in participants with Type 2 asthma at risk of exacerbations compared to the guideline recommended standard of care (SoC).

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Annualized rate of clinically significant exacerbations

    A clinically significant exacerbation is defined as a worsening of asthma requiring the use of systemic corticosteroids.

    Measured: Up to Week 156

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Proportion of participants with clinical remission at 2 years

    Clinical remission defined as no clinically significant asthma exacerbations during the first 2 years of the treatment period, and no maintenance oral corticosteroids (OCS) for asthma at 2 years, and well controlled asthma based on an Asthma Control Test (ACT) greater than or equal to (>=) 20 at 2 years, and no deterioration of lung function.

    Measured: At 2 years

  2. Change from Baseline in Asthma Quality of Life Questionnaire (AQLQ) total overall score at 2 years

    The AQLQ is a 32-item self-administered questionnaire designed to measure the impact of asthma on an individuals daily life over the last 2 weeks across four domains: Symptoms, Activity Limitations, Emotional Function, and Environmental Stimuli. Each item is scored on a 7 point scale (1 = severe impairment; 7 = no impairment). The overall score is the mean of all 32 items and ranges from 1.0 (worst quality of life) to 7.0 (best quality of life). Higher scores indicate better quality of life (QoL), with lower impairment on daily functioning and well-being.

    Measured: Baseline and at 2 years

  3. Change from Baseline in Asthma Control Questionnaire-5 (ACQ-5) score at 2 years

    The ACQ-5 is a five-item questionnaire developed as a measure of participants asthma symptom control. The questions are designed to be self-completed by the participant. The 5 questions enquire about the frequency and/or severity of symptoms (nocturnal awakening, waking in the morning, activity limitation, shortness of breath, and wheeze) over the previous week. The overall ACQ-5 response option is the mean score of all 5 questions representing 0 with no impairment/limitation and 6 as total impairment/ limitation. Higher scores indicated more limitations and lower score with better asthma control.

    Measured: Baseline and at 2 years

  4. Change from Baseline in post-Bronchodilator Forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1) at 2 years

    FEV1 is defined as the volume of air that can be forced out in one second after taking a deep breath by a person and will be measured by spirometry testing.

    Measured: Baseline and at 2 years

  5. Change from Baseline in pre-Bronchodilator FEV1 at 2 years

    FEV1 is defined as the volume of air that can be forced out in one second after taking a deep breath by a person and will be measured by spirometry testing.

    Measured: Baseline and at 2 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Depemokimab in people with Asthma, run by GlaxoSmithKline at 17 sites in 2 countries.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 22 inclusion and 31 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 17 Aug 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 17 sites in United States, United Kingdom. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact US GSK Clinical Trials Call Center (877-379-3718, GSKClinicalSupportHD@gsk.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Annualized rate of clinically significant exacerbations (time frame: Up to Week 156). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 17 Aug 2026.
