This is a 16-Week Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo Controlled, Parallel-Group, Multicenter Study Evaluating the Efficacy and Safety of OPN-375 186 μg Twice a Day (BID) in Adolescents with Bilateral Nasal Polyps followed by a 12-Week Open-Label Treatment Phase. The total planned number of subjects is approximately 72 adolescents (12-17 years of age) who will be randomly assigned to receive 1 of 2 study treatments using a 2:1 ratio (OPN-375 186 μg: Placebo). For the PK sub-study, up to 14 subjects will be enrolled to obtain 10 completers.
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of intranasal administration of OPN-375 186 μg Twice a Day (BID) versus placebo in adolescents with bilateral nasal polyposis and nasal congestion by analyzing the reduction of nasal congestion/obstruction symptoms at the end of Week 4 measured by the 7-day average instantaneous morning diary symptom scores and the reduction in total polyp grade at Week 16 as determined by a nasal polyp grading scale score measured using a 0 to 6 point severity grading scale.

Change in nasal congestion/obstruction symptoms (mild, moderate, severe) at the end of Week 4
Change in nasal congestion/obstruction symptoms at the end of Week 4 measured by the 7-day average instantaneous morning (AM) diary symptom scores (ADS7-IA). The nasal symptom scale is what is used to score the nasal congestion/obstruction score, which is recorded in the diary. Nasal symptom scale is graded on a scale of 0=no symptom, 1=mild symptom, 2=moderate symptom, 3=severe symptom.
Time frame: 4 Weeks
Mean change from baseline at Week 16 in total polyp grade
Change in total polyp grade (sum of scores from both nasal cavities) at Week 16 as determined by a nasal polyp grading scale score measured using a 0 to 6 point severity grading scale, with 0 (no polyps) to 3 (severe polyps) points per nostril
Time frame: 16 Weeks
Change in bilateral polyp grade over time
nasal polyp grading scale score measured using a 0 to 6 point severity grading scale, with 0 (no polyps) to 3 (severe polyps) points per nostril
Time frame: 16 Weeks
Percentage of subjects with a ≥1 point improvement in polyp grade
nasal polyp grading scale score measured using a 0 to 6 point severity grading scale, with 0 (no polyps) to 3 (severe polyps) points per nostril
Time frame: 16 Weeks
Percentage of subject with a grade of 0 on at least one side of the nose
nasal polyp grading scale score measured using a 0 to 6 point severity grading scale, with 0 (no polyps) to 3 (severe polyps) points per nostril
Time frame: 16 Weeks
Change in diary symptom scores for the symptoms of nasal congestion/obstruction, measured as instantaneous and reflective scores for the morning and the afternoon (AM and PM scores)

The Nasal Symptom Scale is graded on a scale of 0 (no symptom) to 3 (Severe symptom)
Time frame: 16 Weeks
Change in diary symptom scores for the symptoms of rhinorrhea, measured as instantaneous and reflective scores for the morning and the afternoon (AM and PM scores)
The Nasal Symptom Scale is graded on a scale of 0 (no symptom) to 3 (Severe symptom)
Time frame: 16 Weeks
Change in diary symptom scores for the symptoms of facial pain or pressure, measured as instantaneous and reflective scores for the morning and the afternoon (AM and PM scores)
The Nasal Symptom Scale is graded on a scale of 0 (no symptom) to 3 (Severe symptom)
Time frame: 16 Weeks
Change in diary symptom scores for the sense of smell, measured as instantaneous and reflective scores for the morning and the afternoon (AM and PM scores)
Sense of smell will be scored on a scale from 0 (normal) to 3 (absent, no sense of smell)
Time frame: 16 Weeks
The proportions of subjects who have reductions in the AM and PM, instantaneous and reflective, average nasal congestion/obstruction symptom scores by 0.5 or more points from baseline to the end of the double-blind treatment phase
The Nasal Symptom Scale is graded on a scale of 0 (no symptom) to 3 (Severe symptom)
Time frame: 16 Weeks
Subjects will assess their global impression of change since starting the study drug using the PGIC scale
Subject global impression of change will be assessed using a subject-completed PGIC scale, with a single question rated from 1=very much improved to 7=very much worse
Time frame: 16 Weeks
Subjects will assess their change in quality of life since starting the study drug using the quality of life questionnaire (SN-5).
Quality of life assessment using the SN-5 Questionnaire, a subject/parent-completed questionnaire that consists of 5 specific symptoms-related questions (answered on a 7-point Likert scale on the frequency of symptoms, 1=none of the time, 7=all of the time), and 1 general overall quality of life question (answered on a visual analog scale from 0 to 10, worst to best).
Time frame: 16 Weeks
Proportion of subjects eligible for surgical intervention (independent of actual surgery performed)
The assessment criteria are as follows: * Subject has had moderate symptoms of congestion from nasal polyposis for at least 3 months. * Subject continues to suffer from at least moderate symptoms despite use of topical steroids at conventional doses for at least 6 weeks. * Subject continues to suffer from at least moderate symptoms despite use (or previous use) of saline lavage for at least 6 weeks. * Subject has endoscopically visualized bilateral nasal polyposis of at least moderate severity (nasal polyp grading score \> 2 in at least 1 nostril). Also assess each subject's eligibility for surgery based on specific of criteria (see Section 12) independent of whether the subject actually undergoes surgery.
Time frame: Visit 1 (Screening) and Visit 6 (Week 16/ End of Double-Blind/Early Termination)
