    Recruitment
    Recruitment details
    Study subjects were involved in the study from 05 December 2016 to 05 July 2018 at 67 active centres in 13 countries. A total of 506 subjects were screened, of which 276 subjects were enrolled and randomised to receive dupilumab 300 mg or placebo. A total of 230 subjects failed screening mainly due to failure to meet inclusion criteria.

    Pre-assignment
    Screening details
    Randomisation was stratified by the presence of comorbid asthma and/or non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug exacerbated respiratory disease (NSAID-ERD), prior NP surgery (yes or no), and country.

    End point description
    The LMK scoring system rated each of both the left and right frontal, maxillary, sphenoid, ostiomeatal complex, anterior ethmoid and posterior ethmoid sinuses using following grading: 0 = normal, 1 = partial opacification, 2 = total opacification. The total score was the sum of scores from each side and ranges from 0 (normal) to 24 (more opacified); higher score indicated more severe disease. LS means and SE were obtained from ANCOVA model described in Statistical Analysis Overview. NOTE: For Japan regulatory submission only, this end point is not included as a secondary outcome measure and is instead one of the co-primary outcome measures. The analysis was performed on ITT population. Here, ‘number of subjects analysed’ = subjects evaluable for this end point.

    Notes
    [1] - Hierarchical testing procedure was used to control type I error. For regions outside of Japan, this first secondary endpoint was not tested unless both co-primary endpoints were significant at the 0.05 level. Hierarchical testing continued only when previous endpoint was statistically significant. For Japan submission, LMK was instead a co-primary endpoint which also had to be met before secondary endpoints were tested in the hierarchy. Last endpoint in hierarchy is Week 24 SNOT-22.

    End point description
    ACQ-6 had 6 questions which assessed the most common asthma symptoms (woken by asthma, symptoms on waking, activity limitation, shortness of breath, wheezing, puffs/inhalations use). Subjects were asked to recall how their asthma had been during the previous week and to respond to the symptom questions on a 7-point scale ranged from 0 = no impairment to 6 = maximum impairment. The ACQ-6 score was the mean of the scores of all 6 questions and therefore, ranged from 0 (totally controlled) to 6 (severely uncontrolled), with higher scores indicated lower asthma control. Data were analysed using a hybrid method of the WOCF and MI. The imputed completed data were analysed by fitting an ANCOVA model with the corresponding baseline value, treatment group, prior surgery, and regions as covariates.

    Change From Baseline at Week 48 in Asthma Control Questionnaire-6 Scores for Subjects With Asthma (Assessment Performed 24 Weeks After End of Treatment)
    End point description
    ACQ-6 had 6 questions which assessed the most common asthma symptoms (woken by asthma, symptoms on waking, activity limitation, shortness of breath, wheezing, puffs/inhalations use). Subjects were asked to recall how their asthma had been during the previous week and to respond to the symptom questions on a 7-point scale ranged from 0 = no impairment to 6 = maximum impairment. The ACQ-6 score was the mean of the scores of all 6 questions and therefore, ranged from 0 (totally controlled) to 6 (severely uncontrolled), with higher scores indicated lower asthma control. Data were analysed using a hybrid method of the WOCF and MI. The imputed completed data were analysed by fitting an ANCOVA model with the corresponding baseline value, treatment group, prior surgery, and regions as covariates. Analysis was performed on a subset of subjects which included all randomised subjects with asthma and had available data for this end point.
