Participants with moderate to severe asthma will enter the screening period of a minimum of 2 weeks to allow adequate time for all of the eligibility criteria to be evaluated. They will be randomized 1:1 to receive tezepelumab 210 mg or placebo SC Q4W, administered at Weeks 0, 4, 8 and 12. Randomization will be monitored to ensure at least 50% of the randomized participants are between the ages of 12 to 17 years.~Participants will receive a single dose of inactivated quadrivalent seasonal influenza vaccine intramuscularly at Week 12, prior to the fourth dose of study intervention.~Serum samples for evaluation of antibody response will be drawn at Week 12 (pre-vaccination) and at Week 16 (4 weeks post-vaccination) when humoral response to the vaccination is expected to be fully developed.~The End of Treatment (EOT) Visit will be conducted at Week 16 and a final Follow-up Visit and the End of Study Visit will be conducted at Week 28.
This is a Phase 3b, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, parallel group, placebo-controlled study designed to investigate the potential effect of tezepelumab (210 mg subcutaneous [SC] every 4 weeks [Q4W]) on antibody responses following seasonal quadrivalent influenza virus vaccination in the fall/winter 2021-2022 in the USA.
