Scientists in the UK , Australia , and Sweden conducted the double-blinded, controlled, and randomized phase II trial, which aimed to test the potential of benralizumab in treating a particular type of asthma or COPD attack.

People who took the drug were significantly less likely to need further treatment or to end up in a hospital.

The findings could pave the way for the already approved drug to become the first new drug to treat these potentially life-threatening attacks in 50 years .
