To assess the effect of tezepelumab on severe asthma exacerbations in children 5 to \< 12 years old with severe uncontrolled asthma compared with placebo.
Peak esophageal eosinophil count per HPF determined by histological analysis of 2-4 biopsies from each of the proximal, mid, and distal esophagus.
The Dysphagia Symptom Questionnaire (DSQ) captures the presence and severity of dysphagia symptoms in the past day in a 4-item questionnaire. The DSQ score is calculated over 14-day periods and ranges from 0 to 84, with a lower score indicating less severe dysphagia.
The proportion (expressed as a percentage) of participants who discontinued OCS without loss of asthma control is presented. Loss of asthma control was defined as asthma worsening or exacerbation. Asthma worsening was defined by an increase of Asthma Control Questionnaire 6 (ACQ-6) score ≥0.5 from baseline. Asthma exacerbation was defined by worsening of asthma symptoms that led to temporary bolus/burst of systemic corticosteroids (SCS; or a temporary increase in stable OCS background dose) for at least 3 consecutive days (a single depo-injectable dose of corticosteroids being considered equivalent to a 3-day bolus/burst of SCS), and/or an emergency room (ER) or urgent care visit requiring SCS, and/or inpatient hospitalisation, both due to asthma.
The proportion (expressed as a percentage) of the participants who reduced daily prescribed maintenance OCS dose to ≤5 mg/day without loss of asthma control at Week 28 and Week 52 is presented.
Effect of tezepelumab on the humoral immune response following seasonal influenza virus vaccination in adolescent and young adult participants with moderate to severe asthma was assessed. HAI assay was not performed for H3N2 strain due to the known low haemagglutination effect.

Effect of tezepelumab on the humoral immune response following seasonal influenza virus vaccination in adolescent and young adult participants with moderate to severe asthma was assessed. Vaccine immunogenicity analysis set consisted of all randomised patients who received the influenza vaccine plus at least 1 dose of tezepelumab or placebo, had pre and post vaccination HAI or MN antibody measurements, had no influenza infection prior to Visit 7 (Week 16), and had no protocol deviation, judged to have the potential to interfere with the generation or interpretation of an antibody response.

The total nasal polyp score (NPS) is the sum of the right and left nostril scores (maximum of 8), as evaluated by nasal endoscopy. Higher scores indicate greater symptom severity. The left and right score will be based on a central read with a scale from 0 to 4. Each nasal endoscopy is evaluated by two independent physician reviewers.
The NCS is captured by one item in the NPSD (nasal polyps symptom diary) asking participants to rate the severity of their worst NC over the past 24 hours using the following response options: 0 - None; 1 - Mild; 2 - Moderate; 3 - Severe. Baseline will be the mean of daily responses from Day -13 to Day 0. Bi-weekly (14-day) mean NCS will be calculated if at least 8 days in each 14-day period has evaluable data; otherwise the bi-weekly mean is set to missing.
The annual exacerbation rate is based on exacerbations reported by the investigator in the eCRF over 52 weeks
The number of subjects who experienced an AE during on-treatment period was summarised.
Successful administration is defined as an injection completed, based on a used/returned (HCP or subject/caregiver) answer of YES to all 5 questions in the administration questionnaire, and satisfactory in vitro evaluation of returned/evaluated devices.
Includes adverse events with an onset date between the date of first dose of IP in the predecessor and minimum (date of last dose of IP + 33 days, date of death, date of study withdrawal, day prior to start of another biologic). The analysis is based on the Safety Analysis Set. Exposure adjusted rates are defined as number of subjects with AEs divided by total time at risk across all subjects, multiplied by 100

Categorized percent reduction from baseline at Week 48. Percent change from baseline is defined as {final dose-baseline dose)/baseline dose}\*100, and the categories of percent change from baseline in daily OCS dose are defined as: ≥90% to ≤100% reduction, ≥75% to \<90% reduction, ≥50% to \<75% reduction, \>0% to \<50% reduction, and, no change or any increase.
The annual exacerbation rate is based on unadjudicated exacerbations reported by the investigator in the eCRF. The analysis is based on the primary population (Full Analysis Set)
The annual exacerbation rate is based on unadjudicated exacerbations reported by the investigator in the eCRF. This analysis is based on subjects with baseline eosinophils \< 300 cells/uL
A COPD exacerbation was defined as a change in the participant's usual COPD symptoms that is beyond normal day-to-day variation, is acute in onset, lasts 2 or more days, and may warrant a change in regular medication and leads to any of the following: Use of systemic corticosteroids for at least 3 days, use of antibiotics for at least 3 days, an inpatient hospitalisation due to COPD, or results in death. Analysis was done using a negative binomial model with the response variable as the number of COPD exacerbations experienced during the follow-up for exacerbations. The model included covariates of treatment group, region, and number of exacerbations reported at randomisation as recorded in IWRS (2, \>=3). The logarithm of the time at risk (in years) for exacerbation in the study is used as an offset variable.
