Severe Asthma: We're working to give you more freedom between treatments!
The NIMBLE Study is looking at a possible new medicine for people with eosinophilic asthma. The study will look at how safe the study drug is and whether it works for adults and adolescents.
You or someone you care for may be able to take part if you/they:
- Are at least 12 years of age
- Have severe asthma that has been controlled with mepolizumab or benralizumab for at least 12 months

What is Clinical Research?
Clinical research is a healthcare science that studies the safety and effectiveness of various medications, devices, diagnostic products and treatment regimens. It involves experiments and observations designed to answer specific questions and provide evidence that will either support or disprove the objective of the research. Any devices, medications or therapies that show promise in theory, lab analysis and pre-clinical trials must go through a formal clinical trial.
Why participate in a clinical trial?
Clinical trials help the medical community advance new ways of preventing, detecting and treating diseases. While clinical trials don't always provide resolutions to medical quandaries, they can provide improved methods for managing care or providing better relief of debilitating symptoms. Research gathered during a clinical trial helps us explore more and better possibilities for others in the future.
The reasons for participating in a clinical trial vary for each person. Healthy individuals may volunteer for altruistic reasons, wanting to help others, or because of a personal connection to someone who may benefit from the study. Volunteers who are ill may want to help others as well, but they may also be in search of more advanced treatment options. Clinical trials will enable them to have access to the newest treatment options available, something they otherwise would not have access to. Plus all participants are carefully monitored and have access to a medical team at all times.
We appreciate your interest in clinical research.
Only through clinical trials and research is it possible to find newer, more innovative therapies. We believe clinical research is vital not only to the healthcare community but to humanity as a whole. With clinical testing and investigational work, you can play a role in moving medicine into the future.
