Brief Title
A Study to Investigate GB-0895 Adjunctive Therapy in Adults and Adolescents With Severe Uncontrolled Asthma (SOLAIRIA-1)
Detailed Description
This is a global, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled Phase 3 study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of GB-0895 adjunctive therapy in adults and adolescents with severe uncontrolled asthma with an optional open-label extension (OLE). The trial is designed to administer GB-0895 an investigational drug or placebo, subcutaneously every 6 months.

The study is divided into several phases as described below:

* Screening/Run-In (Weeks -5 to 0)
* Treatment (Weeks 0 to 52)
* Follow-up (Weeks 52 to 90) or optional open-label extension (OLE, Weeks 52 to 142)
