Drugmaker AstraZeneca Plc said its asthma drug failed to meet the main goal of significantly reducing the annual asthma exacerbation rate in a late-stage study.

The drug, tralokinumab, failed against placebo, the company said, adding that it would now await the results from a second round of late-stage trial of the drug in the second half of the year.

Asthma affects about 315 million people worldwide, with about 10% suffering from severe asthma, the company said.
