  • Has been informed of the nature of the study and provided written informed consent
  • Agrees to comply with all study requirements
  • If currently on a waiting list for sinonasal surgery, willing to be removed from the waiting list or have preplanned surgery date cancelled for the duration of the study.

  • Obstruction preventing proper placement and retention of LYR-210 as seen on endoscopy
  • Anatomic variation that, in the opinion of the investigator, would adversely impact placement of LYR-210 as seen on CT
  • Known history of hypersensitivity or intolerance to corticosteroids

  • Previous pituitary or adrenal surgery
  • Dental procedure/implant on maxillary dentition within 4 weeks of the Screening visit.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Change From Baseline (CFBL) in the 7-day Average Composite Score of 3 Cardinal Symptoms (3CS) in Participants Without Nasal Polyps
Time Frame: Week 24
The 3CS are nasal blockage/obstruction/congestion, anterior/posterior nasal discharge, and facial pain/pressure. The diary is completed daily by study participants throughout the study. Each symptom is rated on a 4-point (0-3) scale where 0= none/absent symptoms, 1=mild symptoms, 2=moderate symptoms, and 3=severe symptoms. The composite score of 3CS is the sum of the three cardinal symptom scores. The 3CS total score ranges from 0-9, with higher scores indicating worse symptoms.
Week 24

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
CFBL in the 22-item Sino-Nasal Outcome Test (SNOT-22) Total Score at Week 24
Time Frame: Week 24
The SNOT-22 questionnaire is a 22-item disease-specific quality of life instrument. Each symptom is scored on a 6-point scale where 0 = no problem and 5 = problem as bad as it can be. The total SNOT-22 score is the sum of the 22 items and can range from 0 to 110 with higher scores indicating worse symptoms.
Week 24
CFBL in the 7-day Average Composite Score of 3CS in All Participants at Week 24
Time Frame: Week 24
The 3CS are nasal blockage/obstruction/congestion, anterior/posterior nasal discharge, and facial pain/pressure. The diary is completed daily by study participants throughout the study. Each symptom is rated on a 4-point (0-3) scale where 0= none/absent symptoms, 1=mild symptoms, 2=moderate symptoms, and 3=severe symptoms. The composite score of 3CS is the sum of the three cardinal symptom scores. The 3CS total score ranges from 0-9, with higher scores indicating worse symptoms.
Week 24
CFBL in the 3-D Volumetric CT Score at Week 20
Time Frame: Week 20

Change from baseline in the percent opacification of the bilateral anterior and posterior ethmoids at Week 20, as determined by 3-D volumetric CT analysis. 3-D volumetric scoring involves evaluations of each slice of 3-D coronal CT sequences and summing of all the slices to create a volumetric score ranging from 0% to 100%.

A negative change from Baseline indicates improvement from Baseline.

Week 20
Rescue Treatment Requirement Through Week 24
Time Frame: Week 24
Number and percent of participants requiring rescue treatment (systemic corticosteroid for any reason or participants that were recommended/underwent sinonasal surgery) through Week 24.
Week 24
