About the
SOLAIRIA Study
This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study to evaluate the investigational drug GB-0895 and see how well it works to reduce serious asthma attacks in adults and adolescents with severe asthma, when used along with other treatments.
What is the medicine in the study?
GB-0895 is an investigational drug, a monoclonal antibody that targets thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP), which helps drive airway inflammation in asthma. In this study, it is given by injection under the skin every six months and used as an add-on to participants’ usual asthma medicines; some participants will receive placebo. It is being studied in adults and adolescents with severe, uncontrolled asthma.
How does it work?
GB-0895 works by binding to and blocking TSLP, a protein that helps start and amplify airway inflammation. By preventing TSLP signalling, it may reduce downstream inflammatory activity in the airways. In this study, it is given by injection under the skin every six months and used as an add-on to participants’ usual asthma medicines; some participants will receive placebo.

Program Design:
The SOLAIRIA program includes two Phase 3, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled studies in adults and adolescents with severe, uncontrolled asthma. The main goal is to see whether GB-0895 reduces the rate of serious asthma attacks over 52 weeks, compared with placebo, when used along with participants’ usual asthma medicines. Researchers will also assess lung function, symptom control and health-related quality of life.
Participants are randomly assigned to receive GB-0895 or placebo; neither participants nor the study team will know which treatment is given until the study ends (double-blind). This design helps ensure unbiased and reliable results.
Each study includes screening, one year of treatment and about nine months of follow-up; some participants may be able to join an optional open-label extension after the first year.
Early Proven Results:
In a Phase 1 study of 100 patients with mild to moderate asthma, a single injection of GB-0895 reduced airway inflammation for at least six months. Inflammation was measured through the presence of immune cells such as blood eosinophils and cytokines, as well as exhaled nitric oxide, a common signal of inflammation and asthma.
Unlike most current biologics, which require injections every two to four weeks (and some every eight weeks), GB-0895 could offer durable asthma control with only two planned doses per year. Importantly, GB-0895 may be effective across patients regardless of their baseline eosinophil levels, which could make it accessible to more people than many existing treatments.
These findings, presented at the European Respiratory Society (ERS) International Congress in September 2025, suggest GB-0895 has the potential to reduce treatment burden while maintaining lasting asthma control. Because GB-0895 targets TSLP, a well-validated driver of asthma, and showed durable activity with a favourable safety profile in Phase 1, Generate is moving directly into Phase 3 studies with the support of the FDA and EMA.

Clinical FAQ
What is a clinical study?
A clinical study, also called a clinical trial or research study, is a carefully designed scientific evaluation of a potential new investigational medication. Clinical studies are conducted by doctors and researchers. A clinical study helps to answer important questions about a potential new medication or investigational drug, such as:
- Are there side effects?
- How safe is it?
- Does it work?
What is an investigational drug?
An investigational drug, also called study medication or study drug, is a new treatment that has been tested in a lab and approved for testing in people by health authorities. It may also be a medication already approved for one condition but being tested for another. Investigational drugs can be used only in clinical studies.
What is a placebo?
A placebo is a “fake” treatment that looks like the real medicine but doesn’t contain any active ingredients. It’s used in some studies to help researchers understand if the real treatment works.
How do I find out if I qualify?
If you would like to know whether you might be able to take part in the study, please fill out the form (refer to the prescreener). If you decide to participate, you will go through an online screening process to see if you qualify. You may be contacted via phone to ask more specified questions. If you pre-qualify, you will be connected to a study site in your area. The study doctor will check additional criteria before you can officially join the study.
Is there a cost to take part?
No, there is no cost to participate. The study drug and all related tests and procedures are provided for free. Travel expenses to and from the study site may also be reimbursed.
