Study of SCH 527123 in Subjects With Severe Asthma (Study P05109AM1)

Proof-of-Concept and Dose Range-Finding Study of SCH 527123 in Subjects With Severe Asthma

Given the strong inhibition of SCH 527123 on neutrophil migration to sites of inflammation, there is a theoretical reason for its use in patients with severe asthma where neutrophils are thought to play a significant role in the pathophysiology of the disease.
