Study Summary

Primary Objective:

  • To evaluate the efficacy of treatment with dupilumab to reduce sinus opacification in a population with allergic fungal rhinosinusitis (AFRS)

Secondary Objectives:

  • To evaluate the efficacy of treatment with dupilumab to reduce sinus opacification in a population with allergic fungal rhinosinusitis (AFRS) at Week 24

  • To assess the efficacy of dupilumab to reduce the need for rescue treatments

  • To evaluate the efficacy of treatment with dupilumab in improving symptoms in AFRS

  • To evaluate the efficacy of dupilumab to reduce nasal polyp formation in participants with AFRS

  • To evaluate the efficacy of dupilumab in improving overall symptom severity and quality of life in AFRS

  • To evaluate the efficacy of dupilumab in improving sense of smell in participants with AFRS

  • To explore the effect of dupilumab as assessed by three-Dimensional CT volumetric measurement of the paranasal sinuses

  • To evaluate the safety and tolerability of dupilumab when administered to participants with AFRS

  • To evaluate the pharmacokinetics (PK) of dupilumab in participants with AFRS

  • To characterize the effect of dupilumab on total IgE and specific IgE

  • To assess immunogenicity to dupilumab in participants with AFRS

AFRS patients with the following:

  • An endoscopic NPS of at least 2 out of 4 for unilateral polyps or 3 out of 8 forbilateral polyps at Visit 1 (central reading) and Visit 2 (local reading) and,

  • Sinus opacification in CT scan with an LMK score of 9 for patients with unilateralpolyps or 12 for patients with bilateral polyps during screening period and,

Body weight ≥15 kg

Exclusion

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Patients with nasal conditions/concomitant nasal diseases making them non-evaluableat Visit 1 or for the primary efficacy

  • Nasal cavity malignant tumor and benign tumors.

  • Known of fungal invasion into sinus tissue.

  • Severe concomitant illness(es) that, in the investigator's judgment, would adverselyaffect the patient's participation in the study

  • Active tuberculosis or non-tuberculous mycobacterial infection, or a history ofincompletely treated tuberculosis unless documented adequately treated.

  • Diagnosed active endoparasitic infections; suspected or high risk of endoparasiticinfection

  • Known or suspected immunodeficiency

  • Active chronic or acute infection requiring treatment with systemic antibiotics,antivirals, or antifungals within 2 weeks before the Screening Visit 1 or during thescreening period.

  • History of systemic hypersensitivity or anaphylaxis to dupilumab or any of itsexcipients.

  • Treatment with commercially available dupilumab within 12 months, participation inprior dupilumab clinical trial, or discontinued dupilumab use due to adverse event.

  • Patients who are treated with intranasal corticosteroid drops; intranasal steroidemitting devices/stents; nasal spray using exhalation delivery system, such asXhance™, during screening period.

  • Patients who are on intranasal corticosteroids (INCS) spray unless they havereceived stable dose for at least 4 weeks prior to Visit 1.

  • Patients who have undergone sinus intranasal surgery (including polypectomy) within 6 months prior to Visit 1.

  • Patients who have taken:

  • Biologic therapy/systemic immunosuppressant to treat inflammatory disease orautoimmune 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. - Treatmentwith a live (attenuated) vaccine within 4 weeks prior to Visit 1

  • Leukotriene antagonists/modifiers unless patient is on a continuous treatment for atleast 30 days prior to Visit 1.

  • Initiation of allergen immunotherapy within 3 months prior to Visit 1 or a plan tobegin therapy or change its dose during the screening or treatment period. -Patients received SCS during screening period. - Either intravenous immunoglobulintherapy and/or plasmapheresis within 30 days prior to Screening Visit (Visit 1).
