1. The ADjoy Study


About the ADjoy Study

Researchers in the ADjoy Study want to understand how lebrikizumab works for different people with different health backgrounds. The study is also looking at

how well lebrikizumab works when people take it for a long time. Lebrikizumab has been studied in adolescents and adults with atopic dermatitis, but more information on

how lebrikizumab works in different people in the real world is needed. The results from this study may help researchers and doctors find better ways to help people with AD in the future.


Are you interested in taking part?

You, or someone you care for, may be able to take part if you/they:

  • Are 12 years of age or older
  • Have a diagnosis of moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis 
  • Have been prescribed lebrikizumab but have not yet taken the first dose.




2. The PERSIST CRSwNP-2 Study


About the PERSIST CRSwNP-2 Study

Chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) is a long-term condition in which small, non-cancerous growths form inside the nose and sinuses. These

polyps can obstruct the airways, affect the sense of smell, and make daily activities harder. This study is testing a new investigational medication called GSK5784283—an injection administered only twice a year that works by blocking a signal in the body called TSLP, which is believed to drive the inflammation that causes polyps to grow.

The study aims to find out if this medicine can safely reduce polyp size and improve symptoms.


You may be eligible if you:

  • Are 18 years of age or older. 
  • Have been diagnosed with nasal polyps for at least 12 months. 
  • Have had nasal surgery for polyps or used a steroid course to treat them in the past year. 
  • Have a blocked nose plus loss of smell or a runny nose. 
  • Are currently using a daily nasal steroid spray.



Why take part in a clinical research study?

There is no obligation to take part, so see if you qualify!


Those who are eligible may receive:

  • Study-related care from local specialists at no cost
  • Study medication at no cost
  • Compensation for time and study-related travel expenses

Plus you are helping to advance the treatment of asthma!

What is Clinical Research?

Clinical research is a healthcare science that studies the safety and effectiveness of various medications, devices, diagnostic products and treatment regimens. It involves experiments and observations designed to answer specific questions and provide evidence that will either support or disprove the objective of the research. Any devices, medications or therapies that show promise in theory, lab analysis and pre-clinical trials must go through a formal clinical trial.


Why participate in a clinical trial?

Clinical trials help the medical community advance new ways of preventing, detecting and treating diseases. While clinical trials don't always provide resolutions to medical quandaries, they can provide improved methods for managing care or providing better relief of debilitating symptoms. Research gathered during a clinical trial helps us explore more and better possibilities for others in the future.


The reasons for participating in a clinical trial vary for each person. Healthy individuals may volunteer for altruistic reasons, wanting to help others, or because of a personal connection to someone who may benefit from the study. Volunteers who are ill may want to help others as well, but they may also be in search of more advanced treatment options. Clinical trials will enable them to have access to the newest treatment options available, something they otherwise would not have access to. Plus all participants are carefully monitored and have access to a medical team at all times.


We appreciate your interest in clinical research.

Only through clinical trials and research is it possible to find newer, more innovative therapies. We believe clinical research is vital not only to the healthcare community but to humanity as a whole. With clinical testing and investigational work, you can play a role in moving medicine into the future.
