16-Week Randomized Double-Blind Placebo Controlled Parallel-Group Multicenter Study Evaluating the Efficacy and Safety of OPN-375 186 μg Twice a Day in Adolescents With Bilateral Nasal Polyps Followed With 12-Week Open-Label Treatment Phase
This is a 16-Week Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo Controlled, Parallel-Group, Multicenter Study Evaluating the Efficacy and Safety of OPN-375 186 μg Twice a Day (BID) in Adolescents with Bilateral Nasal Polyps followed by a 12-Week Open-Label Treatment Phase. The total planned number of subjects is approximately 72 adolescents (12-17 years of age) who will be randomly assigned to receive 1 of 2 study treatments using a 2:1 ratio (OPN-375 186 μg: Placebo). For the PK sub-study, up to 14 subjects will be enrolled to obtain 10 completers.
• Male or female subjects aged 12 to 17 years, inclusive, at time of Visit 1 (Screening).
• Female subjects, if sexually active, must,
∙ be practicing an effective method of birth control (e.g., prescription oral contraceptives, contraceptive injections, contraceptive patch, intrauterine device, double-barrier method \[e.g., condoms, diaphragm, or cervical cap with spermicidal foam, cream, or gel\], or male partner sterilization) before entry and throughout the study, or
‣ be surgically sterile (have had a hysterectomy or bilateral oophorectomy, tubal ligation, or otherwise be incapable of pregnancy), or
‣ be abstinent.
• All female subjects not documented to be infertile (e.g., infertility due to congenital abnormality or surgical sterilization) must have a negative serum or urine beta-human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) at Visit 1 (Screening) and a negative urine pregnancy test at the Visit 2 (Day 1/Randomization/Baseline).
• Must have bilateral nasal polyposis with a grade of 1 to 3 in each of the nasal cavities as determined by a nasal polyp grading scale score measured by nasoendoscopy at Visit 1 (Screening).
• Must report at least mild symptoms of nasal congestion/obstruction as demonstrated by an average morning nasal congestion/obstruction score of at least 1.0 over a 7 day period during the single-blind run-in period. (Subjects not meeting this inclusion criterion may be re-screened once after at least 4 weeks.)
• Subjects with comorbid asthma must be stable, defined as no exacerbations (e.g., no emergency room visits, hospitalization, or oral or parenteral steroid use) within the 3 months before Visit 1 (Screening). Subjects who received inhaled corticosteroids are required to be on no more than a moderate dosage regimen as defined by 2015 Global Initiative for Asthma Guidelines (GINA) for 1 month before Visit 1 (Screening) and to be expected to remain on it throughout the study (GINA 2015). Subjects receiving inhaled fluticasone alone or in combination may not participate in the PK sub-study.
• Must be able to cease treatment with intranasal medications including, but not limited to, intranasal oxymetazoline or any other decongestants, intranasal antihistamines, intranasal steroids, intranasal sodium cromolyn, nasal atropine, nasal ipratropium bromide, inhaled corticosteroids (except permitted doses listed above for asthma) at Visit 1 (Screening). \[Note: intranasal antibiotics and saline are permissible\]
• If taking oral antihistamines, must be on a stable regimen for at least 2 weeks prior to Visit 1 (Screening), and agree to not change the dose of these medications until after Visit 3 (Week 4) of the study.
• Subjects (with assistance from parent or legal guardian if needed) must demonstrate the ability to complete the daily diary during the run-in period to be eligible for randomization.
⁃ Must demonstrate correct use of the demo EDS.
⁃ Must be capable, in the opinion of the investigator, of providing assent and the appropriate parent(s) or guardian must provide an informed consent to participate in the study.
