Study Overview

Brief Summary

The overall aim of the study is to determine the clinical efficacy and mechanisms of action of anti-IL-4a (dupilumab) as treatment for patients with Chronic Rhinosinusitis with Nasal Polyposis (CRSwNP) and Aspirin-Exacerbated Respiratory Disease (AERD).

Detailed Description

The protocol involves an 8-week study of dupilumab in patients with CRSwNP and/or AERD. Participants will have 4 total doses of dupilumab administered, with each dose administered every 2 weeks. There will be full clinical assessments and biospecimen collections at Baseline (Visit 1), Week 2 (Visit 2), and Week 8 (Visit 3).

  • •History of physician-diagnosed nasal polyposis and
  • •History of pathognomonic reactions to aspirin or other nonselective COX inhibitors.
  • •Visible nasal polyps bilaterally on otoscope physical exam at the time of screening.
  • •Evidence of sense of smell impairment, with a University of Pennsylvania Smell Identification Test (UPSIT) score of <
  • •Stable asthma (no glucocorticoid burst for at least 4 weeks prior to Visit 1, and no hospitalizations or ER visits for asthma for at least the prior 3 months).

Arms & Interventions

Dupilumab

Experimental

Subjects will receive dupilumab (300mg every-other-week for 8 weeks).

Intervention: Dupilumab (Drug)

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Nasal fluid levels of LTE4

Time Frame: At Week 8 (Visit 3)

The nasal fluid levels of LTE4 will be measured at week 8 and will serve as a surrogate biomarker of respiratory mast cell activation or burden.

Secondary Outcomes

  • Nasal fluid levels of albumin(At Week 8 (Visit 3))
  • Sense of smell - University of Pennsylvania Smell Identification Test (UPSIT)(At Week 8 (Visit 3))
  • Rhinoscopic Total Polyp Score (TPS)(At Week 8 (Visit 3))
  • Quality of life - 22-Item Sino-Nasal Outcome Test (SNOT-22)(At Week 8 (Visit 3))
  • Lung function - Forced Expiratory Volume 1 (FEV1)(At Week 8 (Visit 3))
  • Asthma control - Asthma Control Questionnaire-6 (ACQ-6)(At Week 8 (Visit 3))
  • Number of treatment-related adverse events (AEs) and serious adverse events (SAEs) leading to study drug discontinuation(At Week 8 (Visit 3))
  • Rhinoscopic Total Polyp Score (TPS)(At Week 8 (Visit 3))
  • Nasal fluid levels of albumin(At Week 8 (Visit 3))
  • Sense of smell - University of Pennsylvania Smell Identification Test (UPSIT)(At Week 8 (Visit 3))
  • Peak Nasal Inspiratory Flow (PNIF)(At Week 8 (Visit 3))
  • Quality of life - 22-Item Sino-Nasal Outcome Test (SNOT-22)(At Week 8 (Visit 3))
  • Lung function - Forced Expiratory Volume 1 (FEV1)(At Week 8 (Visit 3))
  • Asthma control - Asthma Control Questionnaire-6 (ACQ-6)(At Week 8 (Visit 3))
  • Number of treatment-related adverse events (AEs) and serious adverse events (SAEs) leading to study drug discontinuation(At Week 8 (Visit 3))
