Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Time to first CompEx Asthma event

The clinical efficacy of Atuliflapon Dose A will be assessed by calculating a Hazard Ratio between the treatment arms, Atuliflapon Dose A vs. placebo, in a selected population (based on biomarker level). CompEx Asthma, a novel composite endpoint for exacerbations, captures asthma-worsening episodes based on a combination of diary events (worsening in daily peak expiratory flow (PEF), asthma symptoms and reliever medication use) plus severe asthma exacerbation events.
