Primary Outcome Measures :
- Change from baseline in sinus opacifications assessed by computerized tomography (CT) scans using the Lund Mackay (LMK) score at Week 52 [ Time Frame: Baseline to Week 52 ]LMK total score is based on assessment of the CT scan findings for each sinus area. The extent of opacification is rated between 0 (normal) to 24 (total opacification).
Secondary Outcome Measures :
- Change from baseline in sinus opacifications assessed by CT scans using the LMK score at Week 24 [ Time Frame: Baseline to Week 24 ]LMK total score is based on assessment of the CT scan findings for each sinus area. The extent of opacification is rated between 0 (normal) to 24 (total opacification).
- Proportion of patients who receive systemic corticosteroids (SCS) and/or undergo/plan to undergo surgery for AFRS during the planned study treatment period [ Time Frame: Baseline to Week 52 ]
- Change from baseline in monthly average nasal congestion/obstruction score from the Nasal symptom Diary at Week 24 and Week 52 [ Time Frame: Baseline to Week 24 and Week 52 ]The nasal congestion/obstruction scores are scored from 0 ('No symptoms') to 3 ('Severe symptoms').
- Change from Baseline in the monthly average anterior/posterior rhinorrhea score from the Nasal Symptom Diary at Week 24 and Week 52 [ Time Frame: Baseline to Week 24 and Week 52 ]The rhinorrhea scores are scored from 0 ('No symptoms') to 3 ('Severe symptoms').
- Change from baseline in endoscopic NPS compared to placebo at Week 24 and Week 52 [ Time Frame: Baseline to Week 24 and Week 52 ]The total nasal polyps score (NPS) is the sum of the right and left nostrils, ranging from 0 (no polyps) to 8 (large polyps causing complete obstruction).
- Change from baseline in 22-item sino-nasal outcome test (SNOT-22) total score at Week 24 and Week 52 [ Time Frame: Baseline to Week 24 and Week 52 ]SNOT-22 is a patient-reported outcome (PRO) questionnaire. Score ranges from 0 to 110 with higher score indicating greater rhinosinusitis related health burden.
- Change from baseline in monthly average total symptom score (TSS) derived from the Nasal Symptom Diary at Week 24 and Week 52 [ Time Frame: Baseline to Week 24 and Week 52 ]TSS ranges from 0 to 9. Higher scores on the TSS indicate greater symptom severity.
- Change from baseline in visual analog scale (VAS) rhinosinusitis at Week 24 and Week 52 [ Time Frame: Baseline to Week 24 and Week 52 ]VAS score ranges from 0 ('not troublesome') to 10 ('worst thinkable troublesome').
- Change from baseline in University of Pennsylvania smell identification test (UPSIT) at Week 24 and Week 52 [ Time Frame: Baseline to Week 24 and Week 52 ]The UPSIT score ranges from 0 to 40, with 40 being the best possible score.
- Change from baseline in the score of decreased/loss of smell using the Nasal Symptom Diary at Week 24 and Week 52 [ Time Frame: Baseline to Week 24 and Week 52 ]The decreased/loss of smell scores are scored from 0 ('No symptoms') to 3 ('Severe symptoms').
- Change from baseline to Week 52 in three Dimensional CT volumetric measurement of the paranasal sinuses [ Time Frame: Baseline to Week 52 ]
- Incidence of treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) or serious adverse events (SAEs) [ Time Frame: Baseline to Week 64 ]
- Dupilumab concentration in serum over time [ Time Frame: Baseline to Week 52 ]
- Percent change from baseline in total IgE in serum compared to placebo over the 52 weeks treatment period [ Time Frame: Baseline to Week 52 ]
- Percent change from baseline in fungal-specific IgE in serum compared to placebo over the 52 weeks treatment period [ Time Frame: Baseline to Week 52 ]
- Incidence of treatment-emergent anti-drug antibodies (ADA) to dupilumab over time [ Time Frame: Baseline to Week 64 ]Enter Endpoint Secondary
