Evaluating the Efficacy and Safety of PT027 Compared With PT007 Administered As Needed in Participants 12 to < 18 Years of Age With Asthma
A Randomized, Double-blind, Multicenter, Parallel-group, Phase IIIb 52 Week Study Evaluating the Efficacy and Safety of PT027 Compared With PT007 Administered as Needed in Participants 12 to < 18 Years of Age With Asthma (ACADIA)
Evaluating the Efficacy and Safety of PT027 Compared With PT007 Administered As Needed in Participants 12 to < 18 Years of Age With Asthma (NCT06307665) is a Phase 3 interventional studying Asthma, sponsored by AstraZeneca. RECRUITING as of the most recent ClinicalTrials.gov update. Talk to your doctor before contacting the trial site.
About This Trial
The purpose of this study is to compare the effect of budesonide/albuterol metered-dose inhaler (BDA MDI) with albuterol sulfate metered-dose inhaler (AS MDI), both administered as needed, on the annualized rate of severe asthma exacerbations in adolescents with a documented clinical diagnosis of asthma and at least one severe exacerbation in the prior year.
What Stage of Research Is This?
Phase 3 trials confirm efficacy and safety in large patient groups (often 300–3,000+) and form the evidence base for an FDA approval submission. For Asthma, Phase 3 studies typically randomize participants between the investigational treatment and either a placebo or current standard of care. A successful Phase 3 result is the threshold most treatments need to clear before regulatory approval.
This trial is currently recruiting participants. The sponsor has registered the study with ClinicalTrials.gov as actively enrolling, which means new applicants who meet the eligibility criteria can be considered for screening. Trial status can change between updates — confirm current recruiting status with the study contact before traveling for a screening visit.
A target enrollment of 440 participants makes this a sizable late-stage trial. Studies in this range typically have enough power to detect clinically meaningful differences from a comparator and to characterize less-common side effects.

How to Talk to Your Doctor About This Trial
Bring the printable summary of this trial — including the NCT ID (NCT06307665), the sponsor (AstraZeneca), and the key eligibility criteria — to your next appointment. Your doctor can review the inclusion and exclusion criteria against your medical history, lab values, and current treatments to assess whether you are likely to qualify. They can also help you weigh whether trial participation makes sense alongside your existing care plan.
Useful questions to walk through together: What does the trial protocol require beyond standard care? How long is the active treatment phase, and how long is follow-up? Are there study visits at sites I can reach? Who pays for the trial-specific procedures, and who pays for standard-of-care portions?

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the NCT06307665 clinical trial studying?
The purpose of this study is to compare the effect of budesonide/albuterol metered-dose inhaler (BDA MDI) with albuterol sulfate metered-dose inhaler (AS MDI), both administered as needed, on the annualized rate of severe asthma exacerbations in adolescents with a documented clinical diagnosis of asthma and at least one severe exacerbation in the prior year. The full protocol is registered on ClinicalTrials.gov and includes the primary outcome measures, eligibility criteria, and study endpoints.
Who can participate in NCT06307665?
Eligibility for this trial depends on the specific inclusion and exclusion criteria set by the sponsor. The plain-English summary above translates the most important criteria into accessible language; the official clinical text is preserved in the collapsible section underneath. Whether you fit any specific trial is a medical decision your doctor needs to confirm — bring the trial information to your treating physician for a full review against your medical history.
How do I contact the trial site for NCT06307665?
Contact information registered with ClinicalTrials.gov is shown in the sidebar of this page. Before reaching out, confirm with your treating physician that this trial is appropriate for your situation. The trial site will then walk you through the screening process to determine final eligibility.
Is participating in a clinical trial safe?
Clinical trials in the United States are regulated by the FDA and overseen by Institutional Review Boards (IRBs) that review the protocol for safety. Risk varies by trial — Phase 1 studies test new treatments in humans for the first time, while Phase 3 trials use treatments that have already passed earlier safety screening. The informed consent document for any specific trial details the known risks and what to expect. Discuss those risks with your physician before deciding whether to participate.
