In plain English
This study is testing a tablet called KT-621, taken by mouth, in adults aged 18 to 75 with moderate to severe eosinophilic asthma. Eosinophilic asthma is a type of asthma linked to higher levels of a white blood cell called eosinophils. The study is funded by Kymera Therapeutics, Inc.
Who can take part
- You are 18 to 75 years old.
- A doctor diagnosed you with asthma at least 1 year ago.
- You have been taking a steady dose of a medium or high dose inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) combined with a long-acting β2-agonist (LABA) inhaler, with no dose change for at least 4 weeks before screening.
- Your breathing test (FEV1, how much air you can blow out in one second) is 40 to 80% of the expected value before screening and before starting.
- Your asthma symptom score (ACQ-5) is 1.5 or higher.
- Your FeNO level (a breath test showing airway inflammation) is 25 parts per billion or higher.
- Your breathing improves after an inhaler (salbutamol) given at screening, showing reversible airway narrowing.
- Your blood eosinophil count is 0.30 × 10^9/L or higher.
- You have had at least 1 asthma flare-up in the past 52 weeks that needed steroid tablets or injections, a hospital stay, or an urgent care visit.
- You agree to follow the contraception rules of the study.
- You are willing and able to attend visits, follow the treatment plan, have tests, and complete an electronic diary.
Who may not be able to
- You have another significant lung disease besides asthma.
- You had an asthma flare-up needing steroid tablets or injections, a hospital stay, or an urgent care visit in the 4 weeks before screening up to the start of the study.
- You have another significant illness or condition that the study doctor thinks could affect your safety or the study results.
- You are pregnant, breastfeeding, or planning to become pregnant or breastfeed during the study.
- Your screening blood or laboratory tests are outside the normal range.
- You have taken an experimental drug or device in another study within the last 8 weeks or 5 half-lives (whichever is longer).
- You have any condition that might stop you following the study plan.
- You currently smoke (including nicotine-free products or vaping, including e-cigarettes), or you have smoked 10 pack years or more. Former smokers with less than 10 pack years and people who vaped must have stopped at least 26 weeks before screening.
- You know you are sensitive or allergic to any ingredient in KT-621.
- You are part of the study team or a close family member of someone on the study team.
What taking part involves
- • Taking KT-621 as a tablet by mouth.
- • Keeping to your regular asthma inhalers at a steady dose.
- • Attending study visits, having laboratory tests and other study procedures.
- • Completing questionnaires and an electronic diary.
Time commitment: Not stated — ask the trial team, as the number of visits, total study duration, and how long you take KT-621 are not given in the data above.

About This Trial
This Phase 2b study is designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of KT-621 in participants with uncontrolled moderate to severe eosinophilic asthma. The main goals of this study are to investigate how effective KT-621 is at treating uncontrolled moderate to severe eosinophilic asthma, the safety and tolerability of KT-621, and how KT-621 behaves in the body.
