This study will monitor clinical asthma symptom and quality of life questionnaires and airway function to determine the effect of semaglutide on asthma control. Markers of respiratory tract and adipose tissue inflammation will be monitored to determine the effect of semaglutide on airway inflammation. Study participants will be monitored for 4 weeks before assignment to treatment with the study drug for 24 weeks followed by a 2 week final monitoring period.</p> </div> </div> <div role="tabpanel" class="tab-pane" id="disclaimer"> <div class="same-page clearfix"> <h3>Notice</h3> Study information shown on this site is derived from <a href = "https://clinicaltrials.gov/">ClinicalTrials.gov</a> (a public registry operated by the National Institutes of Health).
