Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

A two-part, randomised, double-blind, placebo controlled, multi-centre study to investigate the use of mepolizumab (SB-240563) in reducing the need for surgery in subjects with severe bilateral nasal polyposis.

Condition or Disease Intervention/Treatment Phase
Phase 2

Detailed Description

Nasal polyposis has long been known as chronic inflammatory disease of the nasal mucosa. This disease is characterized by the presence of polyps in the upper nasal cavity, originating from within the ostiomeatal complex. The presence of polyps can cause long-term symptoms such as prominent nasal obstruction, post-nasal drip, loss of smell, and discharge. These symptoms can impact greatly upon a patient's quality of life.The etiology of nasal polyposis is currently unknown.

The aim of this present study is to investigate the use of mepolizumab in reducing the potential need for surgery in subjects with severe bilateral nasal polyposis. The study is split into two parts: Part A is the treatment phase and focuses on the reduction of the need for surgery by exploring the efficacy of six doses of mepolizumab (one dose every four weeks) on nasal polyposis. This dosing regime will build upon the previous PoC study by exploring the potential for increased clinical efficacy as assessed by the potential need for surgery, and also and increased duration of action as assessed by time to relapse. Part B is the follow-up phase and will assess post-treatment nasal polyposis dynamics with a focus on time to relapse. All subjects participating in this study will undergo a run-in period on a low dose of intranasal steroids (INS) prior to first dosing. INS will be continued throughout the study up until study exit. This is to reflect the real life circumstances in which mepolizumab is intended to be used as a therapy. The overall aim of the study design is to further assess the impact in the potential need for surgery and explore an appropriate mepolizumab therapeutic regimen strategy for the treatment of nasal polyposis.

In this study, the assessment of nasal polyposis will be performed by means of combining endoscopic polyp score with subject reported symptoms. This approach reflects real-life clinical assessment of nasal polyposis. Also, this study incorporates condition specific and general medical questionnaires in order to obtain a better understanding of the impact of severe nasal polyposis of the subject's quality of life (QOL). This is in line with increasing focus in the medical field on the effects of medical conditions and treatments on the quality of life of patients (Fokkens et al 2007).

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

  1. Number of Participants With a Reduced Need for Surgery at Week 25 [Week 25]

    Assessment of the nasal polyposis condition was performed after six months of dosing to determine the situation indicative of a reduction in the need for surgery. The components used to determine the need for surgery were endoscopic polyp (ENP) scores and a severity of condition as measured by a visual analogue scale (VAS). Surgery was still deemed required for a participant with an ENP score of >=3, or an ENP score of 2 and a VAS symptom score of >7. The number of participants with reduced need for polyp surgery are presented as missing data set to non-responders (NR) and missing data last observation carry forward (LOCF). LOCF is defined as missing responses at Week 25 imputed with the last non-missing post-dose observation for that participant.

Secondary Outcome Measures

  1. Number of Participants With Endoscopic Nasal Polyp (ENP) Score Dynamics at Weeks 1, 2, 5, 9, 13, 17, 21, and 25 [Weeks 1, 2, 5, 9, 13, 17, 21, and 25]

    Each nostril was assessed for polyps and graded at Weeks 1, 2, 5, 9, 13, 17, 21, and 25. The right and left nostrils were scored from 0 to 4, where, 0 = No polyps; 1 = Small polyps in the middle meatus not reaching below the inferior border of the middle concha; 2 = Polyps reaching below the lower border of the middle turbinate; 3 = Large polyps reaching the lower border of the inferior turbinate or polyps medial to the middle concha; and 4 = Large polyps causing complete obstruction/congestion of the inferior meatus. The ENP score was recorded for both the right and the left nostril. The higher of the two scores was derived and used for the analysis. The ENP score ranges from 0 to 4, with a higher score indicating a larger polyp.

  2. Number of Participants Who Required Polyp Surgery at Weeks 1, 2, 5, 9, 13, 17, 21, and 25 [Weeks 1, 2, 5, 9, 13, 17, 21, and 25]

    Assessment of the nasal polyposis condition was performed after 6 months of dosing to determine the situation indicative of a reduction in the need for surgery. The components used to determine the need for surgery were endoscopic polyp scores and a severity of condition as measured by a VAS. Surgery was required for participants with ENP scores of >=3, or ENP scores of 2 and a VAS symptom score of >7.

    PEFR is defined as the maximum airflowrate generated during a forced expiration beginning with the lungs fully inflated. PEFR was calculated as the maximum of three readings taken at each time point for each participant. Spirometry data is plotted and analyzed using a repeated measures model to calculate treatment difference, confidence intervals and p-values.

  21. Individual Symptoms Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) Scores at Weeks 1, 2, 5, 9, 13, 17, 21, and 25 [Weeks 1, 2, 5, 9, 13, 17, 21, and 25]

    Participants were asked to indicate on a VAS (0 to 10 centimeters) the severity of nasal polyposis and its four symptoms (one VAS for each symptom): rhinorrhea; mucus in the throat; nasal blockage; loss of smell. The left-hand side of the scale (0) represents "not troublesome," and the right hand side of the scale (10) represents "worst possible troublesome." Hence the score ranges between 0 to 10, with higher scores indicating greater severity.

  22. Mean Peak Nasal Inspiratory Flow (PNIF) at Weeks 2, 5, 9, 13, 17, 21, and 25 [Weeks 2, 5, 9, 13, 17, 21, and 25]

    Participants used a portable hand-held inspiratory flow meter to measure and record PNIF in the morning prior to taking the study medication. Three measurements were taken, and the largest measurement was recorded in the electronic diary. PNIF data is plotted and analyzed using a repeated measures model to calculate treatment difference, confidence intervals and p-values.

    Sniffin'Sticks were used to assess each participant's sense of smell (olfaction). Olfaction testing results were recorded for both the right and left nostrils The worst nostril score (number of correct answers for the worst nostril) and the mean nostril score (mean number of correct answers across both nostrils) were recorded. Scores range from 0 to 12 (high score indicating normal olfactory sensation). Olfaction data are plotted and analyzed using a repeated measures model to calculate treatment difference, confidence intervals and p-values.

  24. Sino-Nasal Outcome Test (SNOT)-22 Questionnaire Total Score at Week 25 (Adjusted for Week 1 Baseline) [Week 1 (Baseline) and Week 25]

    SNOT-22 questionnaire is a modification of the SNOT-20 and contains the questions (ques) related to smell and nasal obstruction. Each ques is graded with a numerical score for each response (resp); scores range from 0 for "no symptoms" to 5 for "as bad as things could be." Scores for each of the ques is summed to derive the total score for that par. at that visit. If the par. did not complete any ques at a visit, then he/she were not to have any missing values imputed, and his/her total score for that visit was set to missing. If a par. had some missing scores (but no more than 50% missing at that visit), then scores for the missing resp were imputed as the mean of the non-missing resp for that par. at that visit. The SNOT-22 total score ranges from 0 to 110, with higher scores representing a worse quality of life. Questionnaire data analysis was done using an ANCOVA to obtain the LS-means, treatment difference and confidence interval at Week 25, adjusting for Week 1 Baseline scores.

  25. Index Score of the EuroQoL Quality of Life-5D (EQ-5D) Questionnaire at Week 25 (Adjusting for Week 1 Baseline Scores) [Week 1 (Baseline) and Week 25]

    The EQ-5D is a standardized, 2-part questionnaire used to measure health outcomes. The first part contains descriptions of the following five components: mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort, and anxiety/depression. Responses to each of the five domains are measured on a 3-point scale (1-no problems, 2-some problems, and 3-severe problems). An index for the descriptive scores was derived using the general European weights, obtained for each of the countries in this study. Index scores were derived for each participant at each time point by taking sum of weights. Index score ranges from -0.718 to 1, with lower scores indicating poor health. ANCOVA model with treatment, Baseline (Week 1 scores) and country as factors was used to calculate treatment difference and confidence intervals at Week 25.

  26. VAS Score of the EQ-5D Questionnaire at Week 25 (Adjusting for Week 1 Baseline Scores) [Week 1 (Baseline) and Week 25]

    The EQ-5D is a standardized, 2-part questionnaire used to measure health outcomes. The second part of the questionnaire is a VAS question, requiring the participant to self rate his/her health score on a scale of 0 (worst imaginable health state) to 100 (best imaginable health state). ANCOVA model with treatment, Baseline (Week 1 scores) and country as factors was used to calculate treatment difference and confidence intervals at Week 25.

    Blood samples were scheduled to be collected for the assessment of AUC(0-inf) at Weeks 1, 2, 5, 9, 13, and 25 AUC[0-inf] is derived from individual systemic clearance estimates using the expression AUC[0-inf] = Dose/CL. Hence all data are incorporated into the estimation of CL and by implication AUC[0-inf].

  33. Half-life (Alpha) and Half-life (Beta) [Weeks 1, 2, 5, 9, 13, and 25]

    Half-life (Alpha) is the rate of decline in plasma concentrations due to the process of drug redistribution from the central to the peripheral compartment and half-life (Beta ) is the rate of decline due to the process of drug elimination due to metabolism. Blood samples were collected for the assessment of half-life (Alpha) and half-life (Beta) at Weeks 1, 2, 5, 9, 13, and 25. Half-life was estimated using a population-pharmacokinetic model incorporating all available data points from all participants.

An exploratory Emax direct response model was fitted to serial blood eosinophil count data (including placebo) using model-predicted mepolizumab concentrations (with zero imputed for placebo treated participants). All available datapoints were incorporated into the model. Individual values are estimated from the model as post-hoc values after incorporating between-participant variability.

  38. Number of Participants With Positive Immunogenicity (Anti-mepolizumab Antibody Testing) [Week 1 pre-dose, Week 5 pre-dose, Week 13 pre-dose and Week 25 (4 weeks post last dose)]

    Blood samples were collected at Week 1 pre-dose, Week 5 pre-dose, Week 13 pre-dose and Week 25 (4 weeks post last dose) for anti-mepolizumab antibody testing using a validated electrochemiluminescent (ECL) immunoassay. The assay involved screening, confirmation and titration steps. If serum samples tested positive in the screening assay, they were considered 'potentially positive' and were further analyzed for the specificity using the confirmation assay. Samples that confirmed positive in the confirmation assay were reported as 'positive'.

Inclusion:

A subject will be eligible for inclusion in this study only if all of the following criteria apply:

  1. Subjects have a diagnosis of severe bilateral nasal polyposis at the screening visit and Visit 1 (i.e. at end of run-in period) which meets the definition of the situation indicative of the need for surgery as described in Decision Table 1 in Appendix 3.

  2. Subjects must have had at least one previous surgery for the removal of nasal polyps.

  3. Subjects must have an history of refractory response to steroid therapy as shown by being deemed potentially eligible for surgery despite having been on a regular/continuous course of nasal corticosteroids for the treatment of nasal polyposis for at least 3 months and/or have received a short course of oral steroids in the past for nasal polyp treatment.

  4. Male or female between 18 and 70 years of age, inclusive at time of signing informed consent.

  5. BMI within the range 19.0 to 31.0 kg/m2 (inclusive).

  6. Subjects must be free of any clinically significant disease that would interfere with the study schedule or procedures or compromise his/her safety.

  7. Subjects with concurrent asthma must be maintained on no more than 10mg/day of Prednisolone or the equivalent.

  8. Female subjects of childbearing potential must agree to use one of the contraception methods listed in Section 8.1. This criterion must be followed from 1 month prior to first dose of study medication until four months after last dose of study medication.

Females of non -childbearing potential are defined as pre-menopausal females with a documented tubal ligation or hysterectomy; or postmenopausal defined as 12 months of spontaneous amenorrhea. Females on hormone replacement therapy (HRT) and whose menopausal status is in doubt will be required to use one of the contraception methods in Section 8.1 if they wish to continue their HRT during the study (from 1 month prior to first dose of study medication until four months after last dose of study medication). Otherwise, they must discontinue HRT to allow confirmation of post-menopausal status prior to study enrollment. For most forms of HRT, at least 2- 4 weeks will elapse between the cessation of therapy and the blood draw; this interval depends on the type and dosage of HRT. Following confirmation of their post-menopausal status, they can resume use of HRT during the study without use of a contraceptive method.

  1. Male subjects must agree to use one of the contraception methods listed in Section 8.1. This criterion must be followed from the time of the first dose of study medication until four months after last dose of study medication.

  2. Subjects are capable of giving written informed consent, which includes agreeing to be compliant with the study requirements and restrictions listed in the consent form.

Outcome Measures

1. Primary Outcome
Title Number of Participants With a Reduced Need for Surgery at Week 25
Description Assessment of the nasal polyposis condition was performed after six months of dosing to determine the situation indicative of a reduction in the need for surgery. The components used to determine the need for surgery were endoscopic polyp (ENP) scores and a severity of condition as measured by a visual analogue scale (VAS). Surgery was still deemed required for a participant with an ENP score of >=3, or an ENP score of 2 and a VAS symptom score of >7. The number of participants with reduced need for polyp surgery are presented as missing data set to non-responders (NR) and missing data last observation carry forward (LOCF). LOCF is defined as missing responses at Week 25 imputed with the last non-missing post-dose observation for that participant.

2. Secondary Outcome
Title Number of Participants With Endoscopic Nasal Polyp (ENP) Score Dynamics at Weeks 1, 2, 5, 9, 13, 17, 21, and 25
Description Each nostril was assessed for polyps and graded at Weeks 1, 2, 5, 9, 13, 17, 21, and 25. The right and left nostrils were scored from 0 to 4, where, 0 = No polyps; 1 = Small polyps in the middle meatus not reaching below the inferior border of the middle concha; 2 = Polyps reaching below the lower border of the middle turbinate; 3 = Large polyps reaching the lower border of the inferior turbinate or polyps medial to the middle concha; and 4 = Large polyps causing complete obstruction/congestion of the inferior meatus. The ENP score was recorded for both the right and the left nostril. The higher of the two scores was derived and used for the analysis. The ENP score ranges from 0 to 4, with a higher score indicating a larger polyp.

Description A single safety 12-lead ECG was performed using a standard 12-lead ECG machine at Weeks 1, 2, 5, 9, 13, 17, 21, and 25. Any abnormal clinically significant (CS) and not clinically significant (NCS) findings were identified. ECG abnormaility with respect to CS and NCS findings were judged by the investigator or appropriately qualified designee. Clinically significant abnormal findings are those which are not associated with the underlying disease, unless judged by the investigator to be more severe than expected for the participant's condition.

Title Individual Symptoms Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) Scores at Weeks 1, 2, 5, 9, 13, 17, 21, and 25
Description Participants were asked to indicate on a VAS (0 to 10 centimeters) the severity of nasal polyposis and its four symptoms (one VAS for each symptom): rhinorrhea; mucus in the throat; nasal blockage; loss of smell. The left-hand side of the scale (0) represents "not troublesome," and the right hand side of the scale (10) represents "worst possible troublesome." Hence the score ranges between 0 to 10, with higher scores indicating greater severity.

Title Sino-Nasal Outcome Test (SNOT)-22 Questionnaire Total Score at Week 25 (Adjusted for Week 1 Baseline)
Description SNOT-22 questionnaire is a modification of the SNOT-20 and contains the questions (ques) related to smell and nasal obstruction. Each ques is graded with a numerical score for each response (resp); scores range from 0 for "no symptoms" to 5 for "as bad as things could be." Scores for each of the ques is summed to derive the total score for that par. at that visit. If the par. did not complete any ques at a visit, then he/she were not to have any missing values imputed, and his/her total score for that visit was set to missing. If a par. had some missing scores (but no more than 50% missing at that visit), then scores for the missing resp were imputed as the mean of the non-missing resp for that par. at that visit. The SNOT-22 total score ranges from 0 to 110, with higher scores representing a worse quality of life. Questionnaire data analysis was done using an ANCOVA to obtain the LS-means, treatment difference and confidence interval at Week 25, adjusting for Week 1 Baseline scores.

Title Index Score of the EuroQoL Quality of Life-5D (EQ-5D) Questionnaire at Week 25 (Adjusting for Week 1 Baseline Scores)
Description The EQ-5D is a standardized, 2-part questionnaire used to measure health outcomes. The first part contains descriptions of the following five components: mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort, and anxiety/depression. Responses to each of the five domains are measured on a 3-point scale (1-no problems, 2-some problems, and 3-severe problems). An index for the descriptive scores was derived using the general European weights, obtained for each of the countries in this study. Index scores were derived for each participant at each time point by taking sum of weights. Index score ranges from -0.718 to 1, with lower scores indicating poor health. ANCOVA model with treatment, Baseline (Week 1 scores) and country as factors was used to calculate treatment difference and confidence intervals at Week 25.
