Tezspire Phase III success in CRSwNP
US biotech major Amgen (Nasdaq: AMGN) and the UK’s AstraZeneca (LSE: AZN) have announced positive top-line results from the Phase III WAYPOINT trial in patients with chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP [nasal polyps]).
The companies noted that the trial demonstrated patients treated with Tezspire (tezepelumab-ekko) had a statistically-significant and clinically-meaningful reduction in the size of nasal polyps and reduced nasal congestion compared to placebo. The safety profile and tolerability of Tezspire in the trial were consistent with the known profile of the medicine.
WAYPOINT was a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial evaluating the efficacy and safety of Tezspire administered subcutaneously in adults with severe CRSwNP. Participants in the trial were symptomatic despite treatment with standard of care, intranasal corticosteroids (INCS).
