Study Overview

Primary Objective:

To evaluate the efficacy of dupilumab as assessed by the reduction at Week 24 in sinus opacification on computerized tomography (CT) scan in the dupilumab group only

Secondary Objectives:

  • To evaluate the efficacy of dupilumab as assessed by the reduction at Week 24 in sinus opacification on CT scan and sinus total symptom score (sTSS) compared to placebo
  • To evaluate the safety and tolerability of dupilumab in CRSsNP patients compared to placebo
  • To evaluate the pharmacokinetics (PK) of dupilumab in CRSsNP patients compared to placebo
  • Assessment of immunogenicity to dupilumab over time compared to placebo

Study Details

The duration of study for each participant will include 2-4 weeks of screening period, 24-52 weeks randomized investigational medicinal product (IMP) intervention period and 12 weeks of follow-up period.

Eligibility Criteria

You may be eligible for this study if you meet the following criteria:

  • Conditions: Chronic Rhinosinusitis Without Nasal Polyps, Sinusitis, Chronic Sinusitis, Sinus Disorder, Respiratory Disorder
  • Age: 18 years or above
  • Gender: All

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Participant must be at least 18 years of age at the time of signing the informed consent form (ICF).
  • Participants must have bilateral inflammation of paranasal sinuses in CT scan with LMK ≥8 and bilateral ethmoid opacification before randomization.
  • Participants must have ongoing symptoms of loss of smell and rhinorrhea (anterior/posterior) of any severity, with or without facial pain/pressure for at least 12 consecutive weeks by Visit 1.
  • Participants must have ongoing symptoms of nasal congestion (NC)/obstruction at least 12 consecutive weeks before Visit 1 and a NC score of ≥ 2 at Visit 1 (day score) and Visit 2 (weekly average score).
  • Participants must have sTSS (NC, rhinorrhea, facial pain/pressure) ≥5 at Visit 1 (day score) and Visit 2 (weekly average score).
  • Participants must have one of the 2 following features:
    • Prior sinonasal surgery (see note at end of section 5.2 for definitions of sinonasal surgery) for CRS,
    • Treatment with systemic corticosteroids (SCS) therapy for CRS as defined by any dose and duration within the prior 2 years before screening (Visit 1) or intolerance/contraindication to SCS.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Participants with nasal conditions/concomitant nasal diseases such as nasal polyposis in endoscopy at Visit 1 or with history of nasal polyposis etc., making them non-evaluable at Visit 1 or for the primary efficacy
  • Nasal cavity malignant tumor and benign tumors.
  • Forced expiratory volume (FEV1) ≤50% of predicted normal at Visit 1.
  • Radiologic suspicion or confirmed invasive or expansive fungal rhinosinusitis.
  • Severe concomitant illness(es) that, in the investigator's judgment, would adversely affect participation in the study
  • Active tuberculosis or non-tuberculous mycobacterial infection, or a history of incompletely treated tuberculosis unless documented adequately treated.
  • Diagnosed active endoparasitic infections; suspected or high risk of endoparasitic infection
  • Known or suspected immunodeficiency
  • History of malignancy within 5 years before Visit 1, except completely treated in situ carcinoma of the cervix, and completely treated and resolved nonmetastatic squamous or basal cell carcinoma of the skin.
  • Active chronic or acute infection requiring treatment with systemic antibiotics, antivirals, or antifungals within 2 weeks before the Screening Visit 1 or during the screening period.
  • History of systemic hypersensitivity or anaphylaxis to dupilumab or any of its excipients.
  • Participants in prior dupilumab clinical trial or have been treated with commercially available dupilumab within 12 months or who discontinued dupilumab use due to adverse event.
  • Participants who are treated with intranasal corticosteroid drops; intranasal steroid emitting devices/stents; nasal spray using exhalation delivery system, such as Xhance™, during screening period.
  • Participants on unstable dose of intranasal corticosteroids (INCS) spray 4 weeks prior to Screening Visit (Visit1) and during screening period.
  • Participants who have undergone sinus intranasal surgery (including polypectomy) within 6 months prior to Visit 1.
  • Participants who have taken:
    • Biologic therapy/systemic immunosuppressant to treat inflammatory disease or autoimmune disease within 5 half-lives prior to Visit 1
    • Any investigational mAb within 5 half-lives prior to Visit 1
    • Anti-IgE therapy (omalizumab) within 4 months prior to Visit 1.
  • Treatment with a live (attenuated) vaccine within 4 weeks prior to Visit 1
  • Leukotriene antagonists/modifiers unless participant is on a continuous treatment for at least 30 days prior to Visit 1.
  • Initiation of allergen immunotherapy within 3 months prior to Visit 1 or a plan to begin therapy or change its dose during the screening or treatment period.
  • Participants received SCS during screening period (between Visit 1 and Visit 2).
  • Either intravenous immunoglobulin therapy and/or plasmapheresis within 30 days prior to Screening Visit (Visit 1).

Updated on 28 Mar 2025. Study ID: NCT04678856

This study investigates the effectiveness of an investigational medication for treating Chronic Rhinosinusitis without Nasal Polyps (CRSsNP). CRSsNP is a condition where the sinuses become inflamed, causing symptoms like nasal congestion, loss of smell, and facial pain. The study aims to see if the investigational medication can reduce sinus inflammation, which is measured by changes in sinus appearance on a CT scan.

Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either the investigational medication or a placebo. A placebo is an inactive substance that looks like the investigational medication but does not contain any medicine. The study will involve checking the safety and effects of the investigational medication, including its presence in the body and any immune response it might trigger.

  • Who can participate: Adults aged 18 and older with bilateral sinus inflammation and specific symptoms for at least 12 weeks may participate. Key eligibility includes a history of sinonasal surgery or steroid treatment for sinus issues. Participants must have a Nasal Congestion (NC) score of ≥ 2 at Visit 1 and Visit 2.
  • Study details: Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either the investigational medication or a placebo. A placebo is an inactive substance that looks like the investigational medicine but does not contain any medicine. Participants will undergo regular assessments to monitor the effects of the treatment.
