4. Bilateral sinonasal polyposis with a nasal polyp score (NPS) of 5 at enrolment and randomization (unilateral score of at least 2 for each nostril)
5. Ongoing symptoms for at least 12 weeks prior to enrolment
6. Patient-reported moderate to severe nasal blockage score (NBS) ≥2 at enrolment
7. Bi-weekly mean NBS ≥ 1.5 at randomization
8. SNOT-22 total score ≥ 20 at enrolment and randomization
9. Documented physician-diagnosed asthma
10. Blood eosinophil count of >2% or ≥150/μL at enrolment |
|
E.4 | Principal exclusion criteria |
1. Any nasal and/or sinus surgery within 3 months prior to enrolment
2. Patients with conditions that makes them non evaluable for the co-primary efficacy endpoint including but not limited to:
• Unilateral antrochoanal polyps
• Nasal septal deviation that occludes at least one nostril
• Current rhinitis medicamentosa
• Allergic fungal rhinosinusitis or allergic fungal sinusitis;
3. Clinically important comorbidities that may put the patient at risk, or may confound interpretation of clinical efficacy and/or safety results
4. Receipt of SCS for within 4 weeks prior to screening, or a scheduled SCS treatment during the study period.
5. Receipt of any marketed or investigational biologic product within 6 months of enrolment
6. Currently pregnant or breastfeeding |
