Overview
Brief Summary
TQC2731 injection is a humanized monoclonal antibody that targets Thymic Stromal Lymphopoietin (TSLP), blocks the TSLP pathway, and inhibits the production of downstream cytokines, thereby exerting anti-inflammatory effects. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of TQC2731 injection in patients with chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP).

Inclusion Criteria
- •Signed informed consent form prior to trial participation, demonstrating full understanding of trial objectives, procedures, and potential adverse reactions.
- •Age between 18 and 75 years (inclusive) at the time of informed consent signing, regardless of gender.
- •Diagnosis of bilateral chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) meeting the diagnostic criteria of the "Chinese Guidelines for the Diagnosis and Treatment of Chronic Rhinosinusitis (2018)"
- •At least one prior course of systemic corticosteroids (prednisone 0.5-1 mg/kg/day or 15-30 mg/day or equivalent for minimum 5 days) within 2 years before screening, with persistent bilateral CRSwNP; AND/OR contraindication/intolerance to systemic corticosteroids; AND/OR prior nasal polyp surgery performed more than 6 months before screening.
- •Bilateral Nasal Polyp Score (NPS) ≥5 (maximum score 8) with ≥2 points per nostril, as assessed by nasal endoscopy during screening and randomization.
- •Nasal Congestion Score (NCS) ≥2 at screening (daily average) and randomization (weekly average).
- •Persistent symptoms of rhinorrhea and/or hyposmia/anosmia for over 8 weeks prior to screening.
- •22-item Sino-Nasal Outcome Test (SNOT-22) score ≥30 at screening and randomization.
- •Stable dose of intranasal corticosteroids (INCS) for \>4 weeks prior to screening (subjects using non-mometasone furoate nasal spray \[MFNS\] products must agree to switch to Mometasone Furoate Nasal Spray (MFNS) during the study).
- •Subjects with comorbid asthma must have had stable asthma symptoms for ≥4 weeks prior to screening (if using medications, such as inhaled corticosteroids, the same dose must have been stably maintained for ≥4 weeks before screening, and the dose is assessed to remain stable during the first phase).
Exclusion Criteria
- •Conditions/Diseases Affecting Efficacy Evaluation
- •Nasal septum deviation causing ≥1 nostril obstruction;
- •Perforation of the nasal septum
- •Acute sinusitis, nasal infection, or upper respiratory infection within 2 weeks pre-screening or during screening/run-in periods;
- •Rhinitis medicamentosa;
- •Eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis (EGPA), granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA), Young's syndrome, Kartagener's syndrome, other ciliary dyskinesia syndromes, or cystic fibrosis;
- •Suspected or confirmed fungal sinusitis by imaging;
- •Prior nasal surgery altering lateral wall structure precluding NPS assessment;
- •Nasal malignancies or benign tumors (e.g., papilloma, hemangioma);
- •Any intranasal and/or sinus surgery (including polypectomy) within 6 months prior to screening.
