Popis: Background GB001 is an oral antagonist of the prostaglandin D2 receptor that may inhibit recruitment and activation of airway eosinophils, reducing airway inflammation. Objective To assess GB001 safety, efficacy and pharmacokinetics from a Phase 2 study and explore the association between type 2 biomarkers (fractional exhaled nitric oxide and blood eosinophils) and asthma control markers following GB001 administration. Methods A randomized, placebo‐controlled, double‐blind study evaluating 36 patients with mild‐to‐moderate atopic asthma. Patients receiving fluticasone propionate ≤500 mcg/day or equivalent were randomized (2:1) to GB001 (30 mg) or placebo once daily for 28 days. Safety, pharmacokinetics, forced expiratory volume in 1 second, asthma control questionnaire and rescue medication use were assessed. Clinical outcomes were analysed post hoc by baseline fractional exhaled nitric oxide (
