Outcomes
Primary Outcome Measures
Postdose Strain-specific Hemagglutination-inhibition (HAI) Antibody Geometric Mean Fold Rise From Week 8 to Week 12
To compare the geometric mean fold rises in influenza strain-specific hemagglutination-inhibition responses from Week 8 to Week 12 between patients receiving benralizumab 30mg and patients receiving placebo. Geometric mean fold rise was defined as antilog(z) (mean [log(z) x]), where "x" is the postdose HAI antibody titer fold rise from Week 8 and "z" is the natural logarithm.
Postdose Strain-specific Hemagglutination-inhibition Antibody Geometric Mean Titers Obtained at Week 12
To compare the geometric mean titers of hemagglutination-inhibition antibody as a measure of influenza strain-specific response at Week 12 between patients receiving benralizumab 30mg and patients receiving placebo.
Proportion of Patients Who Experienced a Strain-specific Postdose Antibody Response at Week 12 With Antibody Response Defined as a ≥4-fold Rise in Hemagglutination-inhibition Antibody Titer From Week 8 to Week 12
To compare the proportions of patients experiencing influenza strain-specific responses as measured by ≥4-fold rises in hemagglutination-inhibition antibody titer from Week 8 to Week 12 between patients receiving benralizumab 30mg and patients receiving placebo.
Proportion of Patients Who Achieved a Strain-specific Postdose Hemagglutination-inhibition Antibody Titer ≥40 at Week 12
To compare the proportions of patients experiencing influenza strain-specific responses as measured by ≥40-fold rises in hemagglutination-inhibition antibody titer at Week 12 between patients receiving benralizumab 30mg and patients receiving placebo.
Secondary Outcome Measures
Proportion of Patients Who Achieved a Strain-specific Postdose Hemagglutination Inhibition Antibody Titre ≥320 at Week 12
To compare the proportions of patients experiencing influenza strain-specific responses as measured by ≥320-fold rises in hemagglutination-inhibition antibody titer at Week 12 between patients receiving benralizumab 30mg and patients receiving placebo.
Postdose Strain-specific Microneutralization Antibody Geometric Mean Fold Rise From Week 8 to Week 12
To compare the geometric mean fold rises in influenza strain-specific microneutralization antibody responses from Week 8 to Week 12 between patients receiving benralizumab 30mg and patients receiving placebo. Geometric mean fold rise was defined as antilog(z) (mean [log(z) x]), where "x" is the postdose microneutralization antibody titer fold rise from Week 8 and "z" is the natural logarithm.
Postdose Strain-specific Serum Microneutralization Antibody Geometric Mean Titers Obtained at Week 12
To compare the geometric mean titers of microneutralization antibody as a measure of influenza strain-specific response at Week 12 between patients receiving benralizumab 30mg and patients receiving placebo.
Proportion of Patients Who Experience a Strain-specific Postdose Antibody Response at Week 12 With Antibody Response Defined as a ≥4-fold Rise in Microneutralization Antibody Titer From Week 8 to Week 12
To compare the proportions of patients experiencing influenza strain-specific responses as measured by ≥4-fold rises in microneutralization antibody titer from Week 8 to Week 12 between patients receiving benralizumab 30mg and patients receiving placebo.
Change From Baseline in Mean Asthma Control Questionnaire 6 (ACQ-6) Score at Week 12
To compare the change from baseline at Week 12 in mean ACQ-6 score between patients receiving benralizumab 30mg and patients receiving placebo. The ACQ-6 assesses asthma symptoms (nighttime waking, symptoms on waking, activity limitation, shortness of breath, wheezing, and short-acting β2 agonist use). Questions are weighted equally and scored from 0 (totally controlled) to 6 (severely uncontrolled). The mean ACQ-6 score is the mean of the responses to each question. Mean scores of ≤0.75 indicate well-controlled asthma, scores between 0.75 and ≤1.5 indicate partly controlled asthma, and a score >1.5 indicates not well controlled asthma

5. Study Description
Brief Summary
This is a randomized, double-blind, parallel group, placebo-controlled study designed to investigate the potential effect of a fixed dose of benralizumab administered subcutaneously (SC) on antibody responses following seasonal influenza virus vaccination
Detailed Description
This study is designed to investigate the potential effect of benralizumab on the antibody response to the seasonal influenza virus vaccine in patients 12-21 years of age with asthma. Benralizumab will be given subcutaneously (SC) at Weeks 0, 4, and 8 weeks, at which time benralizumab levels will reach steady state. Patients will then receive 1 dose of intramuscular (IM) seasonal influenza virus vaccine at Week 8 and samples drawn at Week 8 and Week 12 to measure the antibody response to the influenza virus
