Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Adults 18 to 75 years with severe uncontrolled asthma on stable high-dose ICS therapy and recent exacerbations.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients without the described disease severity or who do not respond to RC1416 may not experience benefit.
A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.
What this trial studies
This is a phase II interventional study evaluating the safety and efficacy of RC1416, a bispecific nanobody, in adults with moderate to severe asthma that remains uncontrolled despite inhaled corticosteroid therapy. Participants are enrolled into three groups to assess different dosing or regimens, including RC1416 and placebo. The trial measures respiratory function, symptom control, and safety over a defined period. Eligible adults have documented asthma, a reduced FEV1, frequent symptoms, and a history of recent severe exacerbations. Exclusions include known allergy to RC1416 or related components and coexisting lung diseases such as COPD.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, RC1416 could improve asthma control and reduce exacerbations for patients with severe disease.
How similar studies have gone: Similar approaches have shown promise in early studies, but this phase II trial will provide more definitive evidence for RC1416.

Exclusion Criteria: * Individuals with a known history of allergy to the investigational product or its excipients. * Clinically diagnosed with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) or other lung diseases that may impair lung function . * Experienced a severe asthma exacerbation event from within 1 month prior to screening until before dosing. * Used systemic corticosteroids within 1 week prior to screening. * Had a pulmonary or other site infection requiring intravenous antibiotics, antifungals, or antivirals from within 1 month prior to screening until before dosing. * Used traditional Chinese medicine with anti-asthmatic effects within 1 month prior to screening. * Underwent major surgery within 8 weeks prior to screening or plans to undergo major surgery during the study period. * With a history of malignancy within the past 5 years . * Active or incompletely treated tuberculosis * Used biologic/systemic immunosuppressant/immunomodulators within 12 weeks or 5 half-lives prior to screening. * Diagnosed active parasitic infection; suspected parasitic infection or high risk of infection. * Abnormal 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) at screening.
