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 Xhanceâ„¢, 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).

The above information is not intended to contain all considerations relevant to a patient's potential participation in a clinical trial.

This study investigates the effects of an investigational medication for individuals with CRSsNP.

The study evaluates the effectiveness and safety of the investigational medication over a period of time. Researchers will look at changes in sinus symptoms and overall tolerability of the medication.

  • Who can participate: Adults aged 18 and older with bilateral inflammation of paranasal sinuses and ongoing symptoms of nasal congestion for at least 12 weeks are eligible. Participants must have a history of sinonasal surgery or recent treatment with systemic corticosteroids for CRS.
  • Study details: Participants will 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 monitor participants' symptoms and reactions to the treatment.
  • Study timelines: The study will last 24-52 weeks.
