This is a 12-Week randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group, multicenter study evaluating the efficacy and safety of intranasal administration of 186 µg of OPN-375 twice a day (BID) in adolescent subjects with chronic rhinosinusitis without nasal polyps. The total planned number of subjects is approximately 84 adolescents (12-17 years of age) who will be randomly assigned to receive 1 of 2 study treatments using a 1:1 ratio (OPN-375 186 µg:placebo). The study includes a PK sub-study, in which up 14 subjects will be enrolled to obtain 10 completers.
The primary objective of this study is to compare the efficacy of intranasal administration of OPN-375 (fluticasone propionate)186 µg twice a day (BID) versus placebo in adolescents with chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) without nasal polyps (sNP) using the endpoint of change from baseline in CRS symptoms as measured by a 7-day average instantaneous composite score of nasal symptoms (CSS) at the end of Week 4. The CSS is the sum of scores assigned to the symptoms congestion, facial pain or pressure sensation, and nasal discharge (anterior and/or posterior), on a scale of 0 (non-symptomatic) to 3 (severe symptoms). The total CSS can range from 0-9. Eligible study subjects will complete a 7 to 21 day screening period followed by a 12-week double-blind treatment period, for a total of approximately 15 weeks of participation. The study consists of 3 on-site study visits (screening/V1, randomization/V2, end of study/V3/Week 12) and two telephone calls at participation weeks 4 and 8. The study will include a pharmacokinetic (PK) substudy in which PK assessment of 186 µg OPN-375 in up to 14 study subjects will be conducted in an open label fashion.

Change from baseline to the end of Week 4 in the average instantaneous CSS (evaluation of symptom severity immediately preceding the time of scoring).
The CSS consists of the sum of the scores (0-3) assigned to each of the following symptoms of CRS: nasal congestion, nasal discharge (anterior and/or posterior), facial pain/pressure sensation, where 0 = no symptoms, 1 = mild symptoms, 2 = moderate symptoms, and 3 = severe symptoms. The total CSS for each day can range from 0 to 9. Participants will report symptom severity immediately preceding the time of scoring every morning (AM). The baseline CSS is the average of the CSS's over the last 7 days of the single-blind run-in period. The end of Week 4 CSS is the average of the CSS's over the 7 days before Week 4.
Time frame: 4 Weeks
Frequency of acute exacerbations of CRS over the 12-week treatment period
Acute exacerbations of CRS (AECRS) are defined as a worsening of symptoms that requires an escalation of treatment. The number of AECRS experienced by each participant will be recorded.
Time frame: 12 weeks
Change from baseline to the end of Week 4 on CSS score in subjects using an intranasal steroid treatment for CRS within 30 days of Visit 1/Screening
The CSS consists of the sum of the scores (0-3) assigned to each of the following symptoms of CRS: nasal congestion, nasal discharge (anterior and/or posterior), facial pain/pressure sensation, where 0 = no symptoms, 1 = mild symptoms, 2 = moderate symptoms, and 3 = severe symptoms. The total CSS for each day can range from 0 to 9. Participants will report symptom severity immediately preceding the time of scoring every morning (AM). The baseline CSS is the average of the CSS's over the last 7 days of the single-blind run-in period. The end of Week 4 CSS is the average of the CSS's over the 7 days before Week 4. This outcome will assess this change in CSS specifically in the subgroup of participants who were symptomatic at trial entry despite reported use of an intranasal steroid for treatment of CRS within 30 days of Visit 1/Screening.
Time frame: 4 Weeks
Change from baseline to the end of Weeks 8 and 12 in CSS
The CSS consists of the sum of the scores (0-3) assigned to each of the following symptoms of CRS: nasal congestion, nasal discharge (anterior and/or posterior), facial pain/pressure sensation, where 0 = no symptoms, 1 = mild symptoms, 2 = moderate symptoms, and 3 = severe symptoms. The total CSS for each day can range from 0 to 9. Participants will report symptom severity immediately preceding the time of scoring every morning (AM). The baseline CSS is the average of the CSS's over the last 7 days of the single-blind run-in period. The CSS for the end of Week 8 and Week 12 is the average of the CSS's over the 7 days before Week 8 and Week 12, respectively.
Time frame: 8 Weeks; 12 Weeks
Change from baseline to the end of Weeks 4, 8 and 12 in four separate cardinal CRS symptoms
Participants will rate each of the following four cardinal symptoms of CRS every morning based on symptom severity immediately before reporting: nasal congestion, facial pain or pressure sensation, nasal discharge (anterior and/or posterior), and sense of smell. Participants will rate each symptom on a scale of 0 to 3, where 0 = no symptoms, 1 = mild symptoms, 2 = moderate symptoms, and 3 = severe symptoms. Scores from the 7 days immediately preceding each timepoint will be averaged. The change in 7-day average score from baseline to Week 4, Week 8, and Week 12 for each symptom will be assessed individually.
Time frame: 4 Weeks; 8 Weeks; 12 Weeks
Percent of subjects indicating improvement on the Patient Global Impression of Change (PGIC) at Week 12/ end of study.
The Patient Global Impression of Change (PGIC) survey consists of a single question asking participants to rate how much their symptoms have changed since beginning use of the study drug on a scale of 1 to 7, where 1 = Very much improved, 2 = much improved, 3 = minimally improved, 4 = no change, 5 = minimally worse, 6 = much worse, and 7 = very much worse. The percent of subjects indicating any improvement (minimal, much, or very much) will be assessed.
Time frame: 12 Weeks
Change from baseline to Week 12 in the 5 domains of the SN-5 Questionnaire
The SN-5 questionnaire is a quality of life assessment that will be completed by the participant/parent. There are 5 specific symptom related questions (answered on a 7-point Likert scale on frequency of symptoms, where 1 = none of the time and 7 = all of the time), and 1 general quality of life question, answered on a visual analog scale from 0 (worst) to 10 (best). For this outcome, the change in score from baseline to Week 12/end of participation will be assessed for each of the 5 symptom related questions.
Time frame: 12 Weeks
Change from baseline to Week 12 in overall quality of life as measured by the SN-5 Questionnaire
The SN-5 questionnaire is a quality of life assessment that will be completed by the participant/parent. There are 5 specific symptom related questions (answered on a 7-point Likert scale on frequency of symptoms, where 1 = none of the time and 7 = all of the time), and 1 general quality of life question, answered on a visual analog scale from 0 (worst) to 10 (best). This outcome will assess the change in score from baseline to Week 12/end of participation for general quality of life question.
Time frame: 12 Weeks
