You may be eligible if
1. Signed informed consent form and assent form, as appropriate.
2. Male or female ≥12 years of age at Screening Visit 1. Sites in Poland will only include participants aged ≥18 years.
Asthma-related criteria
3. Documented physician diagnosis of asthma for ≥12 months prior to Screening Visit 1.
4. Participants requiring at a minimum daily low dose inhaled corticosteroids (ICS; ≥100 μg/day fluticasone propionate dry powder formulation daily or clinically comparable, per GINA 2021), plus one or more additional daily maintenance asthma controller medications, eg, long-acting β2 agonist (LABA), leukotriene antagonist, theophylline, long-acting muscarinic antagonists, cromolyn/nedocromil. Note: In Poland, this will instead include participants requiring a minimum daily medium dose ICS (≥500 μg/day fluticasone propionate dry powder formulation daily or clinically comparable, per GINA 2021). Use of daily ICS must be for at least 12 weeks prior to Screening Visit 1 and the doses of all controller medications must be stable for at least 4 weeks prior to Screening Visit 1.
5. Pre-BD FEV1 ≥40% and \<80% (\<90% for participants 12 to 17 years of age) of predicted at Screening Visit 2.
6. Bronchodilator reversibility, at Screening Visit 2, as evidenced by ≥12% and ≥200 mL improvement in FEV1, 15 to 30 minutes following inhalation of 400 μg (four puffs) of albuterol/salbutamol (≥12% and ≥160 mL for ages 12 to 17).Participants who do not meet the bronchodilator reversibility inclusion criterion but have ≥10% and ≥160 mL reversibility, may repeat the reversibility spirometry assessment once during the Screening Period, at an unscheduled visit at least 7 days prior to baseline.
7. ACQ-6 ≥1.5 at Screening Visit 2.
8. Eosinophil count of ≥0.30x10⁹/L at Screening Visit 1. If the initial value is between 0.250x10⁹/L to 0.299x10⁹/L, then this may be repeated once at an unscheduled visit (prior to Screening Visit 2).
General medical history
9. Negative urine pregnancy test for women of childbearing potential (WOCBP; after menarche) at the Screening and Baseline visits.
10. WOCBP must use either of the following methods of birth control, from Screening Visit 1 through the End of Study Visit:
1. A highly effective form of birth control (confirmed by the investigator). Highly effective forms of birth control include: true sexual abstinence, a vasectomized sexual partner, Implanon, female sterilization by tubal occlusion, any effective intrauterine device (IUD), IUD/intrauterine system (IUS), Levonorgestrel Intrauterine system, or oral contraceptive.
Or
2. Two protocol acceptable methods of contraception in tandem.
* Women not of childbearing potential are defined as women who are either permanently sterilized (hysterectomy, bilateral oophorectomy, or bilateral salpingectomy), or who are postmenopausal. Women will be considered postmenopausal if they have been amenorrheic for 12 months prior to the planned date of the Baseline Visit without an alternative medical cause. The following age specific requirements apply:
3. Women \<50 years old will be considered postmenopausal if they have been amenorrheic for 12 months or more following cessation of exogenous hormonal treatment and follicle stimulating hormone levels in the postmenopausal range.
4. Women ≥50 years old will be considered postmenopausal if they have been amenorrheic for 12 months or more following cessation of all exogenous hormonal treatment. least 7 days prior to baseline.
You may not be if
Asthma-related criteria
1. A participant who experiences a severe asthma exacerbation (defined as a deterioration of asthma that results in emergency treatment, hospitalization prior to the Screening Visit 1 up to and including the Baseline Visit.
Participants who experience an asthma exacerbation during the Screening/Run-in Period may remain in screening and proceed with study visits 14 days after they have completed their course of oral steroids or returned to their pre-Screening visit maintenance dose of oral steroids and the investigator considers participant has returned to baseline status.
2. Current diagnosis of diseases which may confound interpretation of this study's findings such as allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis, eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis, eosinophilic gastrointestinal diseases, or hypereosinophilic syndrome, or lung diseases (eg, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis).
3. Respiratory infection: Upper or lower respiratory tract, sinus, or middle ear infection within the 4 weeks before Screening Visit 1.
Prohibited medications/procedures
4. Treatment with a biologic investigational drug in the last 5 months prior to Screening Visit 1. Treatment with non-biologic investigational drugs in the previous 30 days or five-half-lives prior to Screening Visit 1, whichever is longer. Treatment with GSK3511294 (long acting anti-interleukin-5) in the past 12 months.
5. Treatment with any of the following monoclonal antibody therapies within 120 days prior to Baseline: benralizumab, dupilumab, mepolizumab, reslizumab, omalizumab, tezepelumab, or tralokinumab.
6. Treatment with pramipexole (Mirapex®) within 30 days of Baseline.
7. Treatment with selected drugs known to have a substantial risk of neutropenia in the past 30 days prior to Screening Visit 1.
8. Bronchial thermoplasty procedure in the past 12 months prior to Screening Visit 1 or planned during the study period.

12. Uncontrolled severe hypertension: systolic blood pressure \>180 mmHg or diastolic blood pressure \>110 mmHg prior to the Baseline Visit despite antihypertensive therapy.
13. History of malignancy that required surgery (excluding local and wide-local excision), radiation therapy and/or systemic therapy during the 5 years prior to the Baseline Visit.
14. History of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection or chronic infection with hepatitis B or C.
