An Evaluation of Dupilumab in Patients With Nasal Polyposis And Chronic Symptoms Of Sinusitis

Summary

Primary Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of dupilumab (SAR231893/REGN668) in the treatment of bilateral Nasal Polyposis (NP) by assessment of the endoscopic nasal polyp score (NPS) in comparison to placebo. Secondary Objectives: To evaluate effect of dupilumab with regards to: * symptoms of sinusitis, * sinus computed tomography (CT) scan, * NPS in the sub-group of participants with co-morbid asthma, * Safety and tolerability.
