A new asthma treatment that could be administered just once every six months has succeeded in two Phase 3 trials, developer GlaxoSmithKline announced Tuesday.

The drug, depemokimab, is designed to treat asthma by targeting a protein called interleukin-5, or IL-5. The protein is linked to the type of inflammation found in most severe asthma cases, according to the pharma company.

Depemokimab hit its primary endpoints in the trials, reducing asthma attacks over a year’s time frame. The company didn’t disclose exact details from the SWIFT-1 and SWIFT-2 trials.
