Recruitment
|
|||||||||||||||||||
Recruitment details |
The study was conducted at 57 centers in 13 countries. A total of 269 participants were screened between 02 December 2020 to 26 April 2023, of which 198 participants were screen failures. Screen failures were mainly due to not meeting the eligibility criteria. | ||||||||||||||||||
Pre-assignment
|
|||||||||||||||||||
Screening details |
A total of 71 participants were randomized in a ratio of 1:1 to receive dupilumab or matching placebo. Randomization was stratified by screening blood eosinophil count (≥300 cells per cubic millimeter [/mm^3] or <300 cells/mm^3), background intranasal corticosteroids (INCS) use (yes or no), and region. | ||||||||||||||||||

Change From Baseline to Week 24 in Opacification of Sinuses Assessed by Computed Tomography (CT) Scan Using the Lund Mackay (LMK) Score in Dupilumab Group [1] | ||||||||
End point description |
The CT scan LMK staging system represented most widely established method of sinus CT scoring. LMK total score is based on assessment of CT scan findings for each sinus area(maxillary, anterior ethmoid, posterior ethmoid, sphenoid, and frontal sinus on each side).Extent of mucosal opacification is rated on a 3-point scale ranging from 0=normal to 2=total opacification. In addition,ostiomeatal complex is graded as 0=not occluded or 2=occluded.The maximum score is therefore 12 per side; total score ranges=0 (normal) to 24 (more opacified),corresponding to the sum of all sinuses and the ostiomeatal unit. Higher score=worse outcome.Baseline=last available value up to randomization date and prior to first dose of study medication.ITT population with screening blood eosinophil count ≥300 cells/mm^3=all randomized participants with screening blood eosinophil count ≥300 cells/mm^3 analyzed according to treatment group allocated by randomization regardless if treatment kit was used or not.

Change From Baseline to Week 24 in Sinus Total Symptom Score (sTSS) | ||||||||||||
End point description |
The sTSS is a composite score derived from the following individual items: nasal congestion (NC), anterior/posterior rhinorrhea, and facial pain/pressure. Each of the individual items were scored from 0 (no symptoms) to 3 (severe symptoms). The total score ranges from 0 to 9 and consists of the sum of NC, the averaged rhinorrhea item scores, and facial pain/pressure scores. Higher scores on sTSS indicated greater overall symptom severity. Baseline was defined as the last available value up to randomization date and prior to the first dose of study medication. ITT population with screening blood eosinophil count ≥300 cells/mm^3 included all randomized participants with screening blood eosinophil count ≥300 cells/mm^3 analyzed according to the treatment group allocated by randomization regardless if treatment kit was used or not. Only those participants with data collected at Week 24 are reported.

End point description |
An AE was any untoward medical occurrence in a participant or clinical study participant, temporally associated with the use of study intervention, whether or not considered related to the study intervention. TEAEs were AEs that developed, worsened or became serious during the treatment-emergent period. A SAE was defined as any untoward medical occurrence that, at any dose: resulted in death, was life-threatening, required inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, resulted in persistent disability/incapacity, was a congenital anomaly/birth defect, was a medically important event. Safety population included all participants randomly assigned to study intervention and who took at least 1 dose of study intervention.

Plasma samples were collected to evaluate antibodies to dupilumab. Pre-existing immunoreactivity was defined as an ADA positive response in the assay at baseline with all post first dose ADA results negative, OR an ADA positive response at baseline with all post first dose ADA responses less than 4-fold over baseline titer levels. Treatment-emergent ADA responses were defined as a positive response in the ADA assay post first dose, when baseline results were negative or missing. Treatment-boosted response was defined as an ADA positive response in the assay post first dose that was greater-than or equal to 4-fold over baseline titer levels, when baseline results were positive. Samples positive in the ADA assay were further characterized for the presence of NAbs. ADA population included all participants in the safety population who had at least 1 non-missing result in the ADA assay after the first dose of the study intervention.

Date |
Amendment |

08 Jul 2021 |
Changed the primary analysis population to the ITT population in Part A and removed comorbid asthma as inclusion criterion as per a Health Authority request. Changed the handling of sinonasal surgery from composite strategy to hypothetical strategy in the primary estimand to better reflect the clinical scenario. |
||
23 Feb 2023 |
Removed Part B. Updated the primary analysis population to the elevated baseline eosinophils population in Part A, and consequently update the sample size to have approximately 30 participants with elevated eosinophils (≥300 cells/mm^3), which coupled to the existing low eosinophils population will bring the total sample size to 70. Modified primary objectives and endpoints: Removed comparison to placebo group at Week 24 in reduction at Week 24 in sinus opacification in the primary objective; Removed assessing of the sTSS at Week 24 in the primary objective and moved sTSS as an endpoint to secondary endpoint. For all the secondary objective and endpoints, deleted the Week 52 objective/endpoints and requalified to exploratory, except the following endpoints: Change from baseline to Week 24 in opacification of sinuses assessed by CT scan using LMK score; Change from baseline to Week 24 in sTSS. In addition, in the asthma subgroup objective and endpoints removed comparison to placebo, and for endpoints evaluating the ≥300 cells/mm^3 population changed to ITT. Shortened treatment period from 52 weeks to at least 24 and no more than 52 weeks. Modified overall study phase from Phase 2/3 to Phase 2. |
