Change From Baseline at Week 24 in Nasal Congestion/Obstruction Symptom Severity Score
Assessment method [1] 0 0
NC symptom severity was assessed by the participants on a daily basis from visit 1 and throughout the study using an e-diary on a scale of 0 to 3, where 0 = no symptoms, 1 = mild symptoms, 2 = moderate symptoms and 3 = severe symptoms, with higher scores indicated more severity. Least squares (LS) means and standard error (SE) were obtained from Analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) model described in Statistical Analysis Overview. All participants randomized to receive Dupilumab had been on 300 mg q2w regimen until Week 24 and analyzed as a pooled population for Week 24 assessments.

Change From Baseline at Week 24 in Nasal Polyp Score
Assessment method [2] 0 0
NPS: sum of right, left nostril scores, evaluated by nasal endoscopy. For each nostril, NPS was graded based on polyp size from 0 = no polyps to 4 = large polyps causing complete obstruction of inferior nasal cavity; lower score = smaller sized polyps. Total NPS: sum of right and left nostril scores, ranges from 0 (no polyps) to 8 (large polyps), higher score = more severe disease. NPS was assessed by centralized, blinded, independent review of the nasal endoscopy video recordings. LS means and SE were obtained from ANCOVA model described in Statistical Analysis Overview. All participants randomized to receive Dupilumab had been on 300 mg q2w regimen until Week 24 and analyzed as a pooled population for Week 24 assessments.

The total score was the sum of scores from each side and ranges from 0 (normal) to 24 (more opacified); higher score indicated more severe disease. LS means and SE were obtained from ANCOVA model described in Statistical Analysis Overview. NOTE: For Japan regulatory submission only, this endpoint is not included as a secondary outcome measure and is instead one of the co-primary outcome measures.

ACQ-6 had 6 questions which assessed the most common asthma symptoms (woken by asthma, symptoms on waking, activity limitation, shortness of breath, wheezing, puffs/inhalations use). Participants were asked to recall how their asthma had been during the previous week and to respond to the symptom questions on a 7-point scale ranged from 0 = no impairment to 6 = maximum impairment. The ACQ-6 score was the mean of the scores of all 6 questions and therefore, ranged from 0 (totally controlled) to 6 (severely uncontrolled), with higher scores indicated lower asthma control.

Change From Baseline at Week 24 in Opacification of Sinuses Measured by Lund Mackay Score: Subgroup of Participants With Asthma
Assessment method [33] 0 0
The LMK scoring system rated each of both the left and right frontal, maxillary, sphenoid, ostiomeatal complex, anterior ethmoid and posterior ethmoid sinuses using following grading: 0 = normal, 1 = partial opacification, 2 = total opacification. The total score was the sum of scores from each side and ranges from 0 (normal) to 24 (more opacified); higher score indicated more severe disease. Data was analyzed using a hybrid method of the WOCF and MI. The imputed completed data were analyzed by fitting an ANCOVA model with corresponding baseline value, treatment group, asthma/NSAID-ERD status, prior surgery history, and regions as covariates. All participants randomized to receive Dupilumab had been on 300 mg q2w regimen until Week 24 and analyzed as a pooled population for Week 24 assessments.

Number of Participants With Treatment-emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs), Serious Adverse Events (SAEs) and TEAEs Leading to Treatment Discontinuation
Assessment method [37] 0 0
An Adverse Event (AE) was defined as any untoward medical occurrence that did not necessarily have to have a causal relationship with the study treatment. TEAEs were defined as AEs that developed or worsened in grade or became serious during TEAE period which was defined as the period from the time of first dose of drug until 84 days following the last administration of drug. SAE was defined as any untoward medical occurrence that at any dose: results in death, is life-threatening, requires inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, results in persistent or significant disability/incapacity, is a congenital anomaly/birth defect, is a medically important event.

Change From Baseline at Week 24 in European Quality of Life 5 Dimension Scale (EQ-5D) Visual Analog Scale Score
Assessment method [38] 0 0
The EQ-5D was a standardized HRQoL questionnaire consisting of EQ-5D descriptive system and EQ VAS. The EQ-5D descriptive system comprised of 5 dimensions: mobility, selfcare, usual activities, pain/discomfort and anxiety/depression. Each dimension had 5 levels: no problems, slight problems, moderate problems, severe problems, and extreme problems. EQ VAS recorded the participant's self-rated health on a vertical VAS that allowed them to indicate their health state that can range from 0 (worst imaginable) to 100 (best imaginable). All participants randomized to receive Dupilumab had been on 300 mg q2w regimen until Week 24 and analyzed as a pooled population for Week 24 assessments.

Assessment method [41] 0 0
ADA response were categorized as: treatment emergent and treatment boosted response. 1) Treatment emergent was defined as a positive response in the ADA assay post first dose, when baseline results are negative or missing. 2) Treatment boosted was defined as: an ADA positive response in the assay post first dose that is greater-than or equal to 4-fold over baseline titer levels, when baseline results are positive.
