RATIONALE: In the Phase 3 SINUS-24 (NCT02912468) and SINUS-52 (NCT02898454) studies in adults with severe chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP), dupilumab significantly improved endoscopic, radiologic, clinical, and quality-of-life outcomes vs placebo, and was generally well tolerated. We report the onset and continued effects on subjective and objective measures of CRSwNP from the SINUS-24 and SINUS-52 studies overall and by patient-reported history of asthma, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug-exacerbated respiratory disease (NSAID-ERD), sinonasal surgery, and allergic rhinitis (AR).
METHODS: Patients were randomized 1:1 in SINUS-24 to double-blind treatment with subcutaneous dupilumab 300 mg or placebo every 2 weeks (q2w) for 24 weeks, and 1:1:1 in SINUS-52 to either dupilumab 300 mg q2w for 52 weeks, dupilumab 300 mg q2w for 24 weeks followed by every 4 weeks (q4w) to 52 weeks, or placebo. Results are presented for placebo and dupilumab 300 mg q2w (pooled to Week 24 and SINUS-52 to Week 52). Loss of smell symptom score (LoSS; 0−3), nasal congestion (NC; 0−3), and total symptom scores (TSS; 0−9) were assessed daily by eDiary. Peak nasal inspiratory flow (PNIF) was assessed daily to Week 24 and q4w thereafter. University of Pennsylvania Smell Identification Test (UPSIT), nasal polyp score (NPS), and 22-item Sino-Nasal Outcomes Test (SNOT-22) were assessed at scheduled visits. P values are presented for prespecified analyses and nominal P values for post-hoc analyses.
RESULTS: 724 patients were randomized. Mean duration of CRSwNP was 11 years (SD 9). Improvements with dupilumab emerged within the first week in all daily assessed measures: LS mean differences vs placebo emerged by Day 3 for LoSS (−0.07 [95% CI −0.12, −0.02]), Day 2 for NC (−0.07 [−0.13, −0.01]), Day 2 for TSS (−0.14 [−0.27, −0.02]), and Day 4 for PNIF (5.0 [1.8, 8.1] L/min); all nominal P <0.05. Improvements with dupilumab were sustained and increased through Week 52. LS mean differences vs placebo [95% CI] at Week 52 in SINUS-52 were: LoSS −1.10 [−1.31, −0.89], NC −0.98 [−1.17, −0.79], TSS −2.85 [−3.35, −2.35], UPSIT 10.3 [8.5, 12.1], NPS −2.40 [−2.77, −2.02], SNOT-22 −21.0 [−25.0, −16.9]; all P <0.0001; and PNIF 45.8 [36.5, 55.2] L/min; nominal P < 0.0001. Improvements with dupilumab were observed regardless of asthma (Figure), NSAID-ERD, prior surgery, or AR.
CONCLUSIONS: Dupilumab exhibited rapid onset of action as early as 2−4 days, with improvements across symptoms, regardless of history of asthma, NSAID-ERD, AR, or sinonasal surgery. Improvements were continuous and sustained to 52 weeks.
