NCT ID NCT07424144
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Aug 13, 2026 · Updated 3 times
Summary
This Phase 3 study tests the long-term safety of itepekimab, an injected drug, in 380 adults with chronic sinusitis and nasal polyps that are hard to control. Participants previously completed a one-year study on itepekimab. The trial lasts up to 72 weeks and also checks if the drug continues to work over time.
