What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Change From Baseline at Week 24 in Nasal Congestion/Obstruction Symptom Severity Score
NC symptom severity was assessed by the participants on a daily basis from Visit 1 and throughout the study using an e-diary on a scale of 0 to 3, where 0 = no symptoms, 1 = mild symptoms, 2 = moderate symptoms and 3 = severe symptoms, with higher scores indicated more severity. Least squares (LS) means and standard error (SE) were obtained from Analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) model described in Statistical Analysis Overview.
Measured: Baseline, Week 24
Change From Baseline at Week 24 in Nasal Polyp Score
NPS: sum of right, left nostril scores, evaluated by nasal endoscopy. For each nostril, NPS was graded based on polyp size from 0 = no polyps to 4 = large polyps causing complete obstruction of inferior nasal cavity; lower score = smaller-sized polyps. Total NPS: sum of right and left nostril scores; ranges from 0 (no polyps) to 8 (large polyps), higher score = more severe disease. NPS was assessed by centralized, blinded, independent review of the nasal endoscopy video recordings. LS means and SE were obtained from ANCOVA model described in Statistical Analysis Overview.
Measured: Baseline, Week 24
Secondary outcomes (35)
Change From Baseline at Week 24 in Opacification of Sinuses Measured by Lund-Mackay (LMK) Score
The LMK scoring system rated each of both the left and right frontal, maxillary, sphenoid, ostiomeatal complex, anterior ethmoid and posterior ethmoid sinuses using following grading: 0 = normal, 1 = partial opacification, 2 = total opacification. The total score was the sum of scores from each side and ranges from 0 (normal) to 24 (more opacified); higher score indicated more severe disease. LS means and SE were obtained from ANCOVA model described in Statistical Analysis Overview. NOTE: For Japan regulatory submission only, this endpoint is not included as a secondary outcome measure and is instead one of the co-primary outcome measures.
Measured: Baseline, Week 24
Change From Baseline at Week 24 in Total Symptom Score (TSS)
The TSS was the sum of participant-assessed nasal symptom scores for nasal congestion/obstruction, decreased/loss of sense of smell, and rhinorrhea (anterior/posterior nasal discharge), each accessed on 0-3 categorical scale (where 0 = no symptoms, 1 = mild symptoms, 2 = moderate symptoms and 3 = severe symptoms). Total score ranged from 0 (no symptoms) to 9 (severe symptoms). Higher score indicated more severe symptoms. LS means and SE were obtained from ANCOVA model described in Statistical Analysis Overview.
Measured: Baseline, Week 24
Change From Baseline at Week 24 in the University of Pennsylvania Smell Identification Test (UPSIT) Score
The UPSIT was a 40-item test to measure the individual's ability to detect odors. Total score ranges from 0 (anosmia) to 40 (normal sense of smell), lower score indicated severe smell loss. LS means and SE were obtained from ANCOVA model described in Statistical Analysis Overview.
Measured: Baseline, Week 24
Change From Baseline at Week 24 in Severity of Decreased/Loss of Smell as Assessed by Participant Daily
The severity of decreased/loss of sense of smell was reported by the participants using a 0 to 3 categorical scale (where 0 = no symptoms, 1 = mild symptoms, 2 = moderate symptoms and 3 = severe symptoms), higher score indicated more severe symptoms. LS means and SE were obtained from ANCOVA model described in Statistical Analysis Overview.
Measured: Baseline, Week 24
Change From Baseline at Week 24 in 22-item Sino-nasal Outcome Test (SNOT-22) Scores
The SNOT-22 is a validated questionnaire that was used to assess the impact of chronic rhinosinusitis phenotype with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) on health-related quality of life (HRQoL). It is a 22 item questionnaire with each item assigned a score ranging from 0 (no problem) to 5 (problem as bad as it can be). The total score may range from 0 (no disease) to 110 (worst disease), lower scores representing better health related quality of life. LS means and SE were obtained from ANCOVA model described in Statistical Analysis Overview.
Measured: Baseline, Week 24
Rescue Treatment Use: Estimate of Percentage of Participants With >=1 Event by Week 24 Obtained Using Kaplan-Meier Method
Rescue treatment was defined as usage of systemic corticosteroids (SCS) or NP surgery (actual or planned) during the treatment period. Rescue treatment included:
- SCS: Betamethasone, dexamethasone, dexamethasone sodium phosphate, Hydrocortisone sodium succinate, methylprednisolone, prednisolone, prednisolone metasulfobenzoate sodium, prednisone, and triamcinolone.
- Sino-nasal surgery for nasal polyps when there was worsening of signs and/or symptoms during the study.
Estimate of percentage of participants with event by Week 24 was obtained using Kaplan-Meier method.
Measured: Baseline up to Week 24
Change From Baseline at Week 24 in Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) for Rhinosinusitis
The VAS for rhinosinusitis was used to evaluate the total disease severity. The participants were asked to indicate on a 10 centimeters (cm) VAS the answer to the question, "How troublesome are your symptoms of your rhinosinusitis?" The range of the VAS was from 0 (not troublesome) to 10 (worse thinkable troublesome), where higher score indicated worse thinkable troublesome. Data were analyzed using a hybrid method of the WOCF and MI. The imputed completed data were analyzed by fitting an ANCOVA model with corresponding baseline, treatment group, asthma/NSAID-ERD status, prior surgery history, and regions as covariates.
Measured: Baseline, Week 24
Change From Baseline at Week 24 in Nasal Peak Inspiratory Flow (NPIF)
NPIF evaluation represented a physiologic measure of the air flow through both nasal cavities during forced inspiration expressed in liters per minute. Higher NPIF values are indicative of better nasal air flow. Data were analyzed using a hybrid method of the WOCF and MI. The imputed completed data were analyzed by fitting an ANCOVA model with corresponding baseline, treatment group, asthma/NSAID-ERD status, prior surgery history, and regions as covariates.
Measured: Baseline, Week 24
Change From Baseline at Week 24 in Rhinorrhea Daily Symptom Score
Rhinorrhea was reported by the participants using a 0 to 3 categorical scale (where 0 = no symptoms, 1 = mild symptoms, 2 = moderate symptoms and 3 = severe symptoms), where higher scores indicated more severe symptoms. Data were analyzed using a hybrid method of the WOCF and MI. The imputed completed data were analyzed by fitting an ANCOVA model with corresponding baseline, treatment group, asthma/NSAID-ERD status, prior surgery history, and regions as covariates.
Measured: Baseline, Week 24
Change From Baseline at Week 24 in Forced Expiratory Volume in 1 Second (FEV1) for Participants With Asthma
FEV1 was the volume of air exhaled in the first second of a forced expiration as measured by spirometer. Data were analyzed using a hybrid method of the WOCF and MI. The imputed completed data were analyzed by fitting an ANCOVA model with corresponding baseline, treatment group, prior surgery history, and regions as covariates.
Measured: Baseline, Week 24
Change From Baseline at Week 24 in Asthma Control Questionnaire-6 (ACQ-6) Scores for Participants With Asthma
ACQ-6 had 6 questions which assessed the most common asthma symptoms (woken by asthma, symptoms on waking, activity limitation, shortness of breath, wheezing, puffs/inhalations use). Participants were asked to recall how their asthma had been during the previous week and to respond to the symptom questions on a 7-point scale ranged from 0 = no impairment to 6 = maximum impairment. The ACQ-6 score was the mean of the scores of all 6 questions and therefore, ranged from 0 (totally controlled) to 6 (severely uncontrolled), with higher scores indicated lower asthma control. Data were analyzed using a hybrid method of the WOCF and MI. The imputed completed data were analyzed by fitting an ANCOVA model with the corresponding baseline value, treatment group, prior surgery, and regions as covariates.
Measured: Baseline, Week 24
Change From Baseline at Weeks 28, 32, 36, 40, 44 and 48 in Nasal Congestion Symptom Severity Score (Assessments Performed 4-24 Weeks After End of Treatment)
NC symptom severity was assessed by the participants on a daily basis from Visit 1 and throughout the study using an e-diary on a scale of 0 to 3, where 0 = no symptoms, 1 = mild symptoms, 2 = moderate symptoms and 3 = severe symptoms, with higher scores indicated more severity. Data were analyzed using a hybrid method of the WOCF and MI. The imputed completed data were analyzed by fitting ANCOVA model with corresponding baseline, treatment group, asthma/NSAID-ERD status, prior surgery history, and regions as covariates.
Measured: Baseline, Week 28, Week 32, Week 36, Week 40, Week 44 and Week 48 (Post-baseline assessments performed 4-24 weeks after end of treatment)
Change From Baseline at Weeks 36 and 48 in Nasal Polyp Score (Assessments Performed 12 and 24 Weeks After End of Treatment)

Data were analyzed using a hybrid method of the WOCF and MI. The imputed completed data were analyzed by fitting an ANCOVA model with corresponding baseline, treatment group, asthma/NSAID-ERD status, prior surgery history, and regions as covariates.
Measured: Baseline, Week 28, Week 32, Week 36, Week 40, Week 44 and Week 48 (Post-baseline assessments performed 4-24 weeks after end of treatment)
Change From Baseline at Week 48 in Forced Expiratory Volume in 1 Second for Participants With Asthma (Assessment Performed 24 Weeks After End of Treatment)
FEV1 was the volume of air exhaled in the first second of a forced expiration as measured by spirometer. Data were analyzed using a hybrid method of the WOCF and MI. The imputed completed data were analyzed by fitting an ANCOVA model with corresponding baseline, treatment group, prior surgery history, and regions as covariates.
Measured: Baseline, Week 48 (Post-baseline assessment performed 24 weeks after end of treatment)
Change From Baseline at Week 48 in Asthma Control Questionnaire-6 Scores for Participants With Asthma (Assessment Performed 24 Weeks After End of Treatment)
ACQ-6 had 6 questions which assessed the most common asthma symptoms (woken by asthma, symptoms on waking, activity limitation, shortness of breath, wheezing, puffs/inhalations use). Participants were asked to recall how their asthma had been during the previous week and to respond to the symptom questions on a 7-point scale ranged from 0 = no impairment to 6 = maximum impairment. The ACQ-6 score was the mean of the scores of all 6 questions and therefore, ranged from 0 (totally controlled) to 6 (severely uncontrolled), with higher scores indicated lower asthma control. Data were analyzed using a hybrid method of the WOCF and MI. The imputed completed data were analyzed by fitting an ANCOVA model with the corresponding baseline value, treatment group, prior surgery, and regions as covariates.
Measured: Baseline, Week 48 (Post-baseline assessment performed 24 weeks after end of treatment)
Number of Participants With Treatment-emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs), Serious Adverse Events (SAEs) and TEAEs Leading to Treatment Discontinuation
An Adverse Event (AE) was defined as any untoward medical occurrence that did not necessarily have to have a causal relationship with the study treatment. TEAEs were defined as AEs that developed or worsened in grade or became serious during TEAE period which was defined as the period from the time of first dose of study drug until 98 days following the last administration of study drug. Serious adverse event (SAE) was defined as any untoward medical occurrence that at any dose: results in death, is life-threatening, requires inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, results in persistent or significant disability/incapacity, is a congenital anomaly/birth defect, is a medically important event.
Measured: Baseline up to 98 days following the last administration of study drug (up to 36 weeks)
Functional Dupilumab Concentration in Serum
Measured: Baseline, Week 4, 8, 16, 24, 36, End of study (Week 48)
Number of Participants With Treatment-Emergent And Treatment-Boosted Anti-drug Antibodies (ADA) Response
ADA response were categorized as: treatment emergent and treatment boosted response. 1) Treatment emergent was defined as a positive response in the ADA assay post first dose, when baseline results are negative or missing. 2) Treatment boosted was defined as: An ADA positive response in the assay post first dose that is greater-than or equal to 4-fold over baseline titer levels, when baseline results are positive.
Measured: Baseline to End of study (Week 48)
Mean Total Systemic Corticosteroids Rescue Dose Prescribed During Treatment Period
SCS included: Betamethasone, dexamethasone, dexamethasone sodium phosphate, hydrocortisone sodium succinate, methylprednisolone, prednisolone, prednisolone metasulfobenzoate sodium, prednisone, and triamcinolone. For every participant, total dose was calculated as (prescribed total daily dose*duration of SCS use). Then, mean of the total dose of 25 participants (placebo group) and 9 participants (Dupilumab group) was derived.
Measured: Baseline to Week 24
Total Systemic Corticosteroids Rescue Intake Duration: Average Duration Per Participant
Rescue treatment was defined as usage of SCS or NP surgery (actual or planned) during the treatment period. SCS rescue intake duration was defined as the duration (in days) from start of SCS rescue medication till the end of SCS rescue treatment.
Measured: Baseline to Week 24
Change From Baseline at Week 24 in European Quality of Life 5 Dimension (EQ-5D) Visual Analog Scale Score
The EQ-5D was a standardized HRQoL questionnaire consisting of EQ-5D descriptive system and EQ VAS. EQ-5D descriptive system comprised of 5 dimensions: mobility, selfcare, usual activities, pain/discomfort and anxiety/depression. Each dimension had 5 levels: no problems, slight problems, moderate problems, severe problems, and extreme problems. EQ-VAS recorded the participant's self-rated health on a vertical VAS that allowed them to indicate their health state that can range from 0 (worst imaginable) to 100 (best imaginable).
Measured: Baseline, Week 24
Change From Baseline at Week 24 in Nasal Congestion Symptom Severity Score: Subgroup of Participants With Asthma
NC symptom severity was assessed by the participants on a daily basis from Visit 1 and throughout the study using an e-diary on a scale of 0 to 3, where 0 = no symptoms, 1 = mild symptoms, 2 = moderate symptoms and 3 = severe symptoms, with higher scores indicated more severity. Data were analyzed using a hybrid method of the WOCF and MI. The imputed completed data were analyzed by fitting ANCOVA model with corresponding baseline, treatment group, prior surgery history, and regions as covariates.
Measured: Baseline, Week 24
Change From Baseline at Week 24 in Nasal Congestion Symptom Severity Score: Subgroup of Participants With Prior Nasal Polyp Surgery
NC symptom severity was assessed by the participants on a daily basis from Visit 1 and throughout the study using an e-diary on a scale of 0 to 3, where 0 = no symptoms, 1 = mild symptoms, 2 = moderate symptoms and 3 = severe symptoms, with higher scores indicated more severity. Data were analyzed using a hybrid method of the WOCF and MI. The imputed completed data were analyzed by fitting ANCOVA model with corresponding baseline, treatment group, asthma/NSAID-ERD status, and regions as covariates.
Measured: Baseline, Week 24
Change From Baseline at Week 24 in Nasal Polyp Score: Subgroup of Participants With Asthma
NPS was the sum of right and left nostril scores, as evaluated by means of nasal endoscopy. For each nostril, NPS was graded from 0 to 4 (0 = no polyps to 4 = large polyps causing complete obstruction of the inferior nasal cavity), with a lower score indicating smaller-sized polyps. Total NPS was the sum of right and left nostril scores and ranges from 0 (no polyp) to 8 (large polyp), with highest score representing more severe disease. NPS was assessed by centralized, blinded, independent review of the nasal endoscopy video recordings. Data were analyzed using a hybrid method of the WOCF and MI. LS mean and SE were obtained from ANCOVA model.

Clinical summary
The research question as the sponsor registered it. This describes what the study plans to test, not what it found.
Primary Objective:
To evaluate the efficacy of dupilumab 300 milligram (mg) every 2 weeks (q2w) compared to placebo on a background of mometasone furoate nasal spray (MFNS) in reducing nasal congestion/obstruction (NC) severity and endoscopic nasal polyp score (NPS) in participants with bilateral nasal polyposis (NP). In addition for Japan participants, reduction in computed tomography (CT) scan opacification of the sinuses was a coprimary objective.
Secondary Objectives:
- To evaluate the efficacy of dupilumab in improving total symptoms score (TSS).
- To evaluate the efficacy of dupilumab in improving sense of smell.
- To evaluate the efficacy of dupilumab in reducing CT scan opacification of the sinuses (primary objective for Japan).
- To evaluate ability of dupilumab in reducing proportion of participants requiring treatment with systemic corticosteroids or NP surgery.
- To evaluate the effect of dupilumab on participant reported outcomes and health related quality of life outcome by sinonasal outcome test-22 (SNOT-22).
- To evaluate the effect of dupilumab in the subgroups of participants with prior surgery and co-morbid asthma (including non-steroid antiinflammatory drug [NSAID] exacerbated respiratory disease [ERD]).
- To evaluate residual effect in follow up.
- To evaluate the safety of dupilumab in participants with bilateral NP.
- To evaluate functional dupilumab concentrations (systemic exposure) and incidence of treatment-emergent anti-drug antibodies.
Detailed description
The total study duration per participant was expected to be up to 52 weeks that consisted of a 4-weeks run-in period, 24-weeks treatment period, and a 24-weeks post treatment period.

Primary outcome
Change From Baseline at Week 24 in Nasal Congestion/Obstruction Symptom Severity Score
Time frame: Baseline, Week 24
NC symptom severity was assessed by the participants on a daily basis from Visit 1 and throughout the study using an e-diary on a scale of 0 to 3, where 0 = no symptoms, 1 = mild symptoms, 2 = moderate symptoms and 3 = severe symptoms, with higher scores indicated more severity. Least squares (LS) means and standard error (SE) were obtained from Analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) model described in Statistical Analysis Overview.
Change From Baseline at Week 24 in Nasal Polyp Score
Time frame: Baseline, Week 24
NPS: sum of right, left nostril scores, evaluated by nasal endoscopy. For each nostril, NPS was graded based on polyp size from 0 = no polyps to 4 = large polyps causing complete obstruction of inferior nasal cavity; lower score = smaller-sized polyps. Total NPS: sum of right and left nostril scores; ranges from 0 (no polyps) to 8 (large polyps), higher score = more severe disease. NPS was assessed by centralized, blinded, independent review of the nasal endoscopy video recordings. LS means and SE were obtained from ANCOVA model described in Statistical Analysis Overview.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 28 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 25 Jul 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 76 sites in United States, France, Hungary, Italy, Romania and 8 more countries. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
What does this phase mean?
Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.
Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.
Are results available for this study?
Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 25 Jul 2019). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Change From Baseline at Week 24 in Nasal Congestion/Obstruction Symptom Severity Score (time frame: Baseline, Week 24). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02912468, which also lists 20 linked publications.
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 25 Jul 2019.
