    General information about the trial
    Main objective of the trial
    To evaluate the effect of ACT-774312 on bilateral nasal polyposis (NP).
    Protection of trial subjects
    Prior to the start of the study, each study site consulted an Independent Ethics Committee (IEC), i.e., a review panel that was responsible for ensuring the protection of the rights, safety, and well-being of human subjects involved in a clinical investigation. The protocol and any material provided to the subject (such as a subject information sheet or description of the study used to obtain informed consent) were reviewed and approved by the appropriate IEC before the study was started. Sponsor personnel and the investigators were required to conduct the study in full compliance with ICH GCP Guidelines, the principles of the Declaration of Helsinki, and with the laws and regulations of the countries in which the study is conducted. Both the sponsor and the investigators had the right to terminate the study at any time, and in such a case, were responsible for protecting the subjects’ interests. The investigators were responsible for maintaining the subjects’ identities in strictest confidence. Written informed consent was required to be obtained from each individual participating in the study prior to any study procedure and after adequate explanation of the aims, methods, objectives, and potential hazards of the study. It was made clear to each subject that he or she was completely free to refuse to enter the study, or to withdraw from it at any time for any reason.
    Background therapy
    Mandatory medications: - Non-investigational medicinal product (standard background therapy): Mometasone furoate nasal spray 50 μg/actuation nasal spray, suspension. Dosing regimen: 2 actuations (50 μg/actuation) in each nostril twice daily (or once daily if twice daily was not tolerated). - Mandatory therapy included any treatments required for contraception purposes in women of childbearing potential. All subjects with asthma continued their prescribed treatment throughout the study. Additionally, 4 subjects took study-concomitant medications to treat other ongoing co-morbidities (hypercholesterolemia, gastritis, hypertension, and allergy). Other study-concomitant medications were administered to treat acute infections or infestations. These concomitant medications were not expected to interact with ACT-774312.
    Evidence for comparator
    In this study, ACT-774312 was compared to placebo. Both study treatments were administered on top of standard background therapy: mometasone furoate nasal spray therapy.

    Nasal Polyp Score
    The Nasal Polyp Score was scored by independent reviewers reviewing image recordings of nasal endoscopy. The sum of right and left nostril scores was used for a total score. The total score ranged from 0 to 8, where a score of 0 means there are no polyps in the nose. A score of 8 indicates the presence of large polyps causing complete obstruction/congestion of the inferior meatus in both nostrils. To be eligible for the study a participant had to have a minimum bilateral NPS of 5 out of a maximum of 8 for both nostrils (with at least a score of 2 for each nostril).

    Change from Baseline to Week 12 in the Nasal Polyps Score
    End point description
    Independent reviewers, blinded to treatment, reviewed image recordings of nasal endoscopies to determine total endoscopic nasal polyp score (NPS) based on nasal polyp (NP) size. The right and left nostrils were scored from 0 to 4 (0 = No polyps; 1 = Small polyps in the middle meatus not reaching below the inferior border of the middle concha; 2 = Polyps reaching below the lower border of the middle turbinate; 3 = Large polyps reaching the lower border of the inferior turbinate or polyps medial to the middle concha; and 4 = Large polyps causing complete obstruction/congestion of the inferior meatus). The total score is the sum of the right and left nostril scores and ranges from 0 to 8, higher scores indicate greater disease severity. Data up to Week 12 were included in the analyses. The main analysis was performed on the per-protocol set. Baseline was defined as Day 1 value. Change from Baseline = (Post-baseline visit value) minus (Baseline visit value).

    Change from Baseline to Week 12 in the Volume of Air in the Left Maxillary Sinus
    End point description
    Independent reviewers, blinded to treatment, reviewed image recordings of the computed tomography scan and performed 3D volumetric measurements of the left maxillary sinus. Absolute changes from baseline were calculated for volume of air (mL). Change in 3D volumetric measurement = (3D volumetric measurement at Week 12) minus (3D volumetric measurement at baseline). A positive change from baseline indicates that more volume for air is in the left maxillary sinus since the baseline visit. More volume of air indicates that the polyposis is improving in the left maxillary sinus.

    Change from Baseline to Week 12 in the University of Pennsylvania Smell Identification Test
    End point description
    The UPSIT (University of Pennsylvania Smell Identification Test) is a test that measures an individual's ability to detect odors. It consists of 4 workbooks of 10 pages each. On each page there is a different "scratch and sniff" strip which is embedded with a micro-encapsulated odorant and a question regarding the smell detected with a four-choice option for the response. The total number of questions in the UPSIT is 40. The number of correct responses regarding the smells being experienced is summed to provide a total score that ranges from 0 to 40, with a higher score indicating a better sense of smell. Absolute changes from baseline to Week 12 was calculated as follows: Change in UPSIT score = (UPSIT score at Week 12) minus (UPSIT score at baseline). A positive change from baseline in the UPSIT score is considered a favorable outcome.

    The subject was asked to score on a Visual Analog Scale (VAS) the answer to the question: “How troublesome are your symptoms?” (for the 5 following symptoms: nasal obstruction, nasal discharge, - mucus in the throat, loss of smell, facial pain). The VAS ranges from 0 (Not at all troublesome) to 100 (Extremely troublesome). The sum of the score of all symptoms were added to a total VAS score which ranged from 0 to 500. The higher the VAS score the more troublesome the symptoms. Absolute changes from baseline to Weeks 2, 4, 8, 12, and EOS are calculated as follows: Change in total VAS score = (Total VAS score at visit) minus (Total VAS score at baseline). A negative change from baseline indicates an improvement.

    End point description
    SNOT-22 (Sino-Nasal Outcome Test) is a disease specific quality of life questionnaire measure that comprises a list of 22 symptoms and social or emotional consequences of the nasal disorder. Every subject was asked to rate how severe each problem had been for them over the past 2 weeks on a scale from 0 (no problem) to 5 (problem as bad as it can be). The total score is the sum of the scores for all 22 items, ranging from 0 to 110. Higher total scores on the SNOT-22 imply greater impact on Quality of Life. Absolute changes from baseline to Weeks 2, 4, 8, 12, and 16 were calculated as follows: Change in SNOT-22 score = (SNOT-22 score at visit) minus (SNOT-22 score at baseline). A negative change from baseline in SNOT-22 is considered a favorable outcome.

    Were there any global substantial amendments to the protocol? Yes
    Date
    Amendment
    15 Aug 2019
    The study was initially planned as a single-center study. Due to difficulties in recruiting subjects, it was decided to open up 1 additional site outside of Belgium, that is in Germany. The title as well as the overall study design and plan and the analysis method of the primary endpoint were updated accordingly for approvals in Germany. Eligibility criteria were changed: - A body mass index greater than or equal to 18 kg/m2 was added as an inclusion criterion. - Subject considered as vulnerable (e.g., sponsor or site employee, investigator subordinate, subject incapable of giving consent, subject committed to an institution by way of official or judicial order). - To be included the systolic blood pressure 90−160 mmHg, diastolic blood pressure 50−100 mmHg, and pulse rate 45−100 bpm (inclusive), measured on the dominant arm, after 5 minutes in the supine position at screening. - Women of childbearing potential must have a negative serum pregnancy test at screening and a negative urine pregnancy test pre-dose on Day 1. The assessment of the CT scans with the Lund-Mackay methodology was added. Study-specific criteria for interruption / premature discontinuation of study treatment was added: - The stopping criteria at the study level on thrombopenia was added. - A subject had to be immediately and permanently discontinued from study treatment if either of the following occurred: - severe thrombopenia (platelet count less than 50,000/μL) while on investigational treatment. - systolic blood pressure < 80 mmHg and diastolic blood pressure < 60 mmHg (confirmed by repeated BP measurement within 10 min) and associated with significant clinical symptoms while on investigational treatment.
