Pivotal Trial

Summary

This trial tests a nasal spray used regularly in adolescents with nasal polyps. The spray aims to shrink the polyps and reduce nasal congestion, helping them breathe more easily.

Who is the study for?
Adolescents aged 12-17 with bilateral nasal polyps can join this trial. They must use effective birth control if sexually active, be able to use the study's inhaler correctly, and have mild symptoms of nasal congestion. Those with stable asthma may participate but must stop certain medications.
What is being tested?
The trial is testing OPN-375 (186 μg twice daily) against a placebo over 16 weeks, followed by a 12-week open-label phase. It's for adolescents with nasal polyps and involves about 120 participants who are randomly assigned in a 2:1 ratio to either the drug or placebo.
What are the potential side effects?
While specific side effects of OPN-375 aren't listed here, similar treatments often cause nosebleeds, headaches, irritation at the application site, and potential growth rate reduction in adolescents due to steroid exposure.

Mechanism Of Action
Side Effect Profile
Prior Approvals
Other Research
The most common treatments for bilateral nasal polyps include anti-inflammatory and corticosteroid nasal sprays, such as the one being studied in the OPN-375 trial. These treatments work by reducing inflammation and swelling in the nasal passages. Corticosteroids inhibit the production of inflammatory mediators and cytokines, which helps to decrease the size of the polyps and improve nasal airflow. This is crucial for patients with bilateral nasal polyps as it alleviates symptoms like nasal congestion, obstruction, and sinus pressure, thereby improving their overall quality of life.
