Change From Baseline in Total Nasal Polyp Score at Week 52
Baseline to Week 52

The total nasal polyp score (NPS) is the sum of the right and left nostril scores (maximum of 8), as evaluated by nasal endoscopy. Higher scores indicate greater symptom severity.

Baseline will be the mean of daily responses from Day -13 to Day 0.

Rate of Moderate or Severe COPD Exacerbations in Participants With Moderate to Very Severe COPD.
From randomisation up to Week 52

A COPD exacerbation was defined as a change in the participant's usual COPD symptoms that is beyond normal day-to-day variation, is acute in onset, lasts 2 or more days, and may warrant a change in regular medication and leads to any of the following: Use of systemic corticosteroids for at least 3 days, use of antibiotics for at least 3 days, an inpatient hospitalisation due to COPD, or results in death. Analysis was done using a negative binomial model with the response variable as the number of COPD exacerbations experienced during the follow-up for exacerbations. The model included covariates of treatment group, region, and number of exacerbations reported at randomisation as recorded in IWRS (2, \>=3). The logarithm of the time at risk (in years) for exacerbation in the study is used as an offset variable.
