Study Evaluating the Efficacy and Safety of Intranasal Administration of 100, 200, and 400 μg of Fluticasone Propionate Twice a Day (BID) Using a Novel Bi Directional Device in Subjects With Bilateral Nasal Polyposis Followed by an 8-Week Open-Label Extension Phase to Assess Safety

ABSTRACT: The primary objective of this study is to compare the efficacy of intranasal administration of 100, 200, and 400 μg of fluticasone propionate twice a day delivered by the OptiNose device with placebo in subjects with bilateral nasal polyposis. Two co-primary endpoints will be used in the study: reduction of nasal congestion/obstruction symptoms at the end of Week 4 of the double-blind treatment phase measured by the 7 day average instantaneous AM diary symptom scores, and reduction in total polyp grade (sum of scores from both nasal cavities) over the 16 weeks of the double-blind treatment phase as determined by the Lildholdt scale score measured by nasoendoscopy.

Project description:Cystic Fibrosis lung disease progresses by a combination of accelerated airways inflammation and bacterial colonization and infection. Airways inflammation in CF is predominantly neutrophilic and complicates airway clearance therapies through cellular debris, excessive DNA, excessive and viscous mucous, and high concentrations of neutrophils,Il-8 and related cytokines liberated along the NFkB signaling pathway. We conducted a single site, randomized, double blind, placebo-controlled, proof-of-concept trial in which we evaluated the effects of 28 days of two dose levels (0.05 mg and 0.10 mg daily) of an older cardiac glycoside, digitoxin, as compared with placebo, on inflammatory markers in induced sputum obtained from 24 subjects with mild to moderate CF lung disease. Nasal epithelial cells from 23 subjects were analyzed for microarray analysis. CF patients 18 to 45 years old, any genotype combination, were eligible. The primary objective was to measure the effects of digitoxin on IL-8 and neutrophil counts in induced sputum. Secondary objectives were to measure: 1) the pharmacokinetics of digitoxin in serum in stable CF patients, 2) safety indices, including ECG changes and sputum microbiology, in stable CF patients, 3) the effect of digitoxin on gene expression in nasal epithelial cells of stable CF patients and 4) quality of life scores using the CFQ-R©. As expected, it took several weeks to achieve a detectable serum level of digitoxin in CF. Digitoxin showed a trend towards reduction in sputum free neutrophil elastase and neutrophil counts, but was not associated with a reduction in sputum Il-8. Digitoxin did not dampen sputum inflammation as measured by primary and secondary outcome measures over the 28 day study period. However the patient groups receiving placebo and 50 micro gram digitoxin daily fell into similar patterns which were distinctly different from the patient group taking 100 micro gram digitoxin. The mRNAs encoding chemokine/cytokine or cell surface receptors in immune cells were decreased in nasal epithelial cells at the higher dose, leading to pathway mediated reductions in Il-8, Il-6, lung epithelial inflammation, neutrophil recruitment and mucus hypersecretion. It is possible that a longer treatment period would be necessary to detect a meaningful, dose- dependent change in sputum indices of inflammation in CF. Importantly, there were no safety issues over the course of the study
