In phase 3 QUEST (NCT02414854), add-on dupilumab 200 and 300 mg every 2 weeks reduced severe exacerbations, improved pre-bronchodilator forced expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV1), and was generally well tolerated in patients with uncontrolled moderate-to-severe asthma. This post hoc analysis assessed dupilumab efficacy in subpopulations of patients with type 2 asthma and high-dose inhaled corticosteroids (ICS). METHODS: Adjusted annualized severe exacerbation rates over the treatment period, least squares (LS) mean change from baseline at Week 12 in pre-bronchodilator FEV1, and LS mean change from baseline at Week 24 in 5-item Asthma Control Questionnaire (ACQ-5) scores were analyzed in subgroups of patients receiving high-dose (>500 μg) ICS with baseline blood eosinophils ≥150 cells/μL and/or fractional exhaled nitric oxide ≥25 ppb. Subgroups included allergic phenotype (with/without), comorbid chronic rhinosinusitis and/or nasal polyposis (with/without), pre-bronchodilator FEV1/forced vital capacity (40 years), median FEV1 reversibility, body mass index (<30/≥30 kg/m2), and sex. RESULTS: Dupilumab vs placebo reduced exacerbations and improved pre-bronchodilator FEV1 at Week 12 and ACQ-5 at Week 24 across subgroups of patients with type 2 asthma and high-dose ICS at baseline. Dupilumab was also effective in patients receiving medium-dose ICS. CONCLUSION: Dupilumab reduced severe exacerbations and improved lung function and asthma control in subgroups of patients with type 2 asthma and high-dose ICS at baseline.

Data are lacking on the comparative health status of patients with CRSwNP. This analysis compared baseline physical and mental health-related quality of life (HRQoL) and overall health status of patients with severe CRSwNP enrolled in a Phase 3 clinical trial with general population norms and with other chronic diseases.Methods: In this post hoc cross-sectional analysis of baseline data from the SINUS-24 study (NCT02912468), HRQoL was measured using the 36-item Short Form (SF-36) questionnaire and general health status was measured using the EuroQol-5 Dimension visual analog scale (EQ-VAS). Analyses included the intention-to-treat (ITT) population and subgroups defined by prior sinonasal surgery, systemic corticosteroid use, and coexisting asthma or non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug-exacerbated respiratory disease (NSAID-ERD). Scores were compared with published values for population norms (50 for SF-36 physical component summary (PCS) and mental component summary (MCS), 70.4− 83.3 for EQ-VAS) and for rheumatoid arthritis, type 2 diabetes, and asthma.Results: In the ITT population (n=276), mean SF-36 physical component summary (PCS), SF-36 mental component summary (MCS), and EQ-VAS scores were below general population norms (46.4, 48.6, and 66.0, respectively). Mean SF-36 PCS and EQ-VAS scores were below population norms across all subgroups; mean SF-36 MCS scores were below the population norm in all subgroups except no prior surgery. SF-36 PCS and MCS scores from SINUS-24 were generally similar to other chronic diseases, except SF-36 PCS which was lower in rheumatoid arthritis. EQ-VAS scores in SINUS-24 were lower than in other chronic diseases. HRQoL scores weakly correlated with objective measures of disease severity.Conclusion: In patients with severe CRSwNP, including those with coexisting asthma/NSAID-ERD, HRQoL was worse than population norms and as burdensome as diseases such as type 2 diabetes, asthma, and rheumatoid arthritis.Graphical Abstract: Keywords: chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps, health-related quality of life, symptom burde
