An Evaluation of Dupilumab in Patients With Nasal Polyposis And Chronic Symptoms Of Sinusitis

Phase 2
Completed
Conditions
Nasal Polyps
Interventions
Registration Number
NCT01920893
Lead Sponsor
Sanofi
Brief Summary

Primary Objective:

To evaluate the efficacy of dupilumab (SAR231893/REGN668) in the treatment of bilateral Nasal Polyposis (NP) by assessment of the endoscopic nasal polyp score (NPS) in comparison to placebo.

Secondary Objectives:

To evaluate effect of dupilumab with regards to:

* symptoms of sinusitis,

* sinus computed tomography (CT) scan,

* NPS in the sub-group of participants with co-morbid asthma,

* Safety and tolerability.

Detailed Description

Screening period (4 weeks) + Randomized Treatment Period (16 weeks) + Post-Treatment Period (16 weeks) = 36 weeks.

To ensure at least 28 participants with co-morbid asthma needed for subgroup analysis, recruitment of NP participants without co-morbid asthma would stop when approximately 28 participants without asthma were randomized.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Change From Baseline in Bilateral Endoscopic Nasal Polyp Score (NPS) at Week 16Baseline, Week 16

NPS was the sum of the right and left nostril scores, as evaluated by means of nasal endoscopy. Total score ranges from 0 to 8 (scored 0 \[no polyp\] to 4 \[large polyps\] for each nostril), with a lower score indicating smaller-sized polyps.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Change From Baseline in Sinus Computed Tomography (CT) Scan Assessments at Week 16: Percent Area Occupied by DiseaseBaseline, Week 16

CT scan assessment included Lund-Mackay score and percentage of the area of maxillary sinuses occupied by disease.

Change From Baseline in Smell Test (University of Pennsylvania Smell Identification Test [UPSIT]) Scores at Week 16Baseline, Week 16

UPSIT was a 40-item test to measure the individual's ability to detect odors. Total score ranges from 0 (anosmia)-40 (normal sense of smell), lower score indicated severe smell loss.

Change From Baseline in 22-Item Sinonasal Outcome Test (SNOT-22) at Week 16Baseline, Week 16

The SNOT-22 was a validated questionnaire to assess the impact of chronic rhinosinusitis on quality of life. The total score may range from 0 (no problem)-110 (worst quality of life), higher scores represented worst quality of life; minimal clinically important change ≥ 8.90.

Change From Baseline in Bilateral Endoscopic NPS at Week 16 in Participants With AsthmaBaseline, Week 16

NPS was the sum of the right and left nostril scores, as evaluated by means of nasal endoscopy. Total score ranges from 0 to 8 (scored 0 \[no polyp\] to 4 \[large polyps\] for each nostril), with a lower score indicating smaller-sized polyps.

Change From Baseline in Sinus Computed Tomography (CT) Scan Assessments at Week 16: Lund-Mackay ScoreBaseline, Week 16

CT scan assessment included Lund-Mackay score and percent of the maxillary sinuses occupied by disease. The Lund-Mackay scoring system rated each of both the left and right frontal, maxillary, sphenoid, ostiomeatal complex, anterior ethmoid and posterior ethmoid sinuses. The total score ranges from 0 (normal) - 24 (more opacified); higher score indicated worse status.

Time to First Response in NPS: Kaplan-Meier Estimate at Week 16Baseline to Week 16

The time-to-first response in NPS: time from the date of randomization to the date of first NPS (defined as \>=1 point reduction from baseline score); for participants without NPS \>=1 point reduction, it was censored at the end of treatment date. The median time to first response was not estimated because the number of responses was too low in the Dupilumab arm. Therefore, alternative Kaplan-Meier statistics, the probability of response at Week 16, are presented as the descriptive measure statistics.

Change From Baseline in Participant Reported Symptoms Scores of Sinusitis at Week 16Baseline, Week 16

Morning symptoms of sinusitis (nasal congestion/obstruction, anterior rhinorrhea \[runny nose\], posterior rhinorrhea \[post nasal drip\], and loss of sense of smell) were assessed using a 0 (no symptoms) - 3 (severe symptoms) categorical scale where higher score indicated severe symptoms.

Change From Baseline in Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) for Rhinosinusitis Symptoms Severity at Week 16Baseline, Week 16

Severity of rhinosinusitis symptoms were assessed on a 0 cm (not troublesome) - 10 cm (worst thinkable troublesome) VAS where higher score indicated worst thinkable troublesome.

Change From Baseline in Nasal Peak Inspiratory Flow (NPIF) at Week 16Baseline, Week 16

NPIF evaluation represents a physiologic measure of the air flow through both nasal cavities during forced inspiration and/or expiration expressed in liter per minute.
