A Proof-of-Concept Study to Assess the Efficacy, Safety and Tolerability of Itepekimab (Anti--IL-33 mAb) in Participants With Chronic Rhinosinusitis Without Nasal Polyps

Inclusion criteria

• Participant must be 18 years of age or older.
• Participants must have ongoing symptoms of nasal congestion/obstruction at least 12 consecutive weeks before Visit 1 and a Nasal Congestion Score (NCS) ≥2 at Visit 1 (day score) and Visit 2 (weekly average score).
• Participants must have sinus Total Symptom Score (sTSS) (NC, rhinorrhea, facial pain/pressure) ≥5 at Visit 1 (day score) and Visit 2 (weekly average score).
• Participants must have at least one of the following features:

• Prior sinonasal surgery (as protocol defined) for chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS).
• Treatment with systemic corticosteroid(s) (SCS) within the prior 2 years before Screening (Visit 1)
• Worsening symptoms of CRS in the past 2 years which would have required treatment with SCS, however participant is intolerant or has a contraindication to SCS.
• Participants must have bilateral inflammation of paranasal sinuses with bilateral ethmoid and maxillary opacification on screening CT scan. Participants must have ≥25% opacification of the ethmoid sinuses and ≥25% opacification of at least 1 maxillary sinus by central reading of CT scan.
• Participants must have a Sino-Nasal Outcome Test-22-Items (SNOT-22) score of ≥20 at Visit 1 and Visit 2.
• Participants who have received a stable dose of mometasone furoate nasal spray (MFNS) for at least 3 weeks before Visit 2.
• A female participant is eligible to participate if she is not pregnant or breastfeeding, and at least 1 of the following conditions applies:

• Is not a women of childbearing potential (WOCBP). OR
• Is a WOCBP and agrees to use a contraceptive method that is highly effective, with a failure rate of <1% during the study (at a minimum until 20 weeks after the last dose of study intervention).

Exclusion criteria

Participants are excluded from the study if any of the following criteria apply:

• Participants with conditions/concomitant diseases making them non-evaluable at Visit 1 or for the primary efficacy endpoint.
• Participants with nasal cavity malignant tumor and benign tumors (eg, papilloma, blood boil).
• Radiological suspicion or confirmed invasive or expansive fungal rhinosinusitis.
• Have any clinically significant diseases or disorders (eg, cardiovascular, pulmonary, gastrointestinal, liver, kidney, neurological, musculoskeletal, endocrine, metabolic, psychiatric, physical impairment) that, in the opinion of the Investigator, may put the subject at risk by participating in the study, or interfere with the subject's intervention, assessment, or influence the results of the study, or have compliance issues with the study.
• Sinus surgery within 6 months before Screening (Visit 1)
• Participants who received SCS 1 month prior to Screening (Visit 1) or during the screening period (between Visit 1 and Visit 2).
• Participants treated with other intranasal corticosteroid(s) (INCS) (only study provided AxMP [MFNS] is permitted), intranasal emitting devices/stents, nasal spray using exhalation delivery system such as Xhance™ during the screening period.
• Participants with a history of severe systemic hypersensitivity reaction to mAb.
• Known allergy to itepekimab or to its excipients. Any drug or other allergy that, in the opinion of the Investigator, contraindicates participation in the study.
