Summary

This is a randomized, double blind, placebo controlled, parallel group phase III study designed to assess the clinical efficacy and safety of 100 milligrams (mg) subcutaneous (SC) mepolizumab treatment in adults with CRSwNP/ECRS for the purpose of registration in Japan and China. Approximately 160 participants will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to receive either 100 mg SC mepolizumab or placebo SC.
