Background: "Remission" is a primary therapeutic goal in severe asthma and chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP), though definitions vary regarding olfactory function. We evaluated "Dual Remission" kinetics in patients treated with dupilumab over 24 months. Methods: This single-center retrospective study analyzed 28 patients with comorbid severe asthma and CRSwNP. Dual Remission was defined as simultaneous asthma remission (Asthma Control Test (ACT) ≥ 20, no exacerbations, no oral corticosteroids (OCS) and stable lung function) and CRSwNP remission (Sino-Nasal Outcome Test-22 (SNOT-22) \< 40, Nasal Polyp Score (NPS) \> 1). We additionally analyzed "Complete Recovery" by applying a stricter composite definition requiring the restoration of normosmia (Sniffin' Sticks score \> 12). Results: At baseline, patients exhibited uncontrolled disease (median ACT 19, NPS 6). Treatment led to rapid asthma remission (85.7% at 12 months, 100% at 24 months). CRSwNP remission was slower but progressive, rising from 57% at 12 months to 88% at 24 months, demonstrating a significant "catch-up" phenomenon. Consequently, Dual Remission rates increased from 54% to 88% by month 24. When applying the stricter "Complete Recovery" criteria requiring normosmia, only 32% met the goal. Conclusion: Dupilumab is highly effective, enabling 88% of patients to achieve Dual Remission after 24 months. However, full olfactory restitution is distinct from structural polyp regression and harder to achieve, likely due to persistent neuroepithelial damage.

NCT07316959
This randomized controlled trial evaluated the effectiveness of long-term, low-dose clarithromycin (250 mg/day) in reducing symptoms, improving endoscopic and radiologic scores, and preventing early recurrence of nasal polyps after endoscopic sinus surgery. Conducted at the ENT Department of Sir Ganga Ram Hospital, Lahore, the study included patients aged 15-75 undergoing surgery for nasal polyps. Group A received clarithromycin for three months in addition to standard therapy, while Group B received standard therapy alone. Patients treated with clarithromycin showed significantly greater improvements in SNOT, Lund-Kennedy, and Lund-Mackay scores at 8 and 12 weeks compared to controls (p\<0.05). Polyp recurrence at three months was also lower in the macrolide group (12%) than in the non-macrolide group (32%). Overall, low-dose clarithromycin was found to be safe and effective in enhancing postoperative outcomes and reducing early recurrence of nasal polyps after endoscopic sinus surgery.
NCT07125586
Chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) is a common condition causing nasal congestion, discharge, and reduced sense of smell, seriously affecting patients' quality of life. A subtype called eosinophilic CRSwNP (eCRSwNP) is difficult to treat and often recurs after surgery. Currently, diagnosing this subtype requires tissue samples after surgery, which delays treatment decisions and may lead to unnecessary surgeries. Our research team has developed a new, non-invasive diagnostic system using advanced spectral technology to detect a natural fluorescence marker inside eosinophils (a type of immune cell) in nasal polyps. This system can quickly identify eCRSwNP before surgery by shining a safe light on the nasal tissue and analyzing the fluorescence signals. This study aims to evaluate how accurate and safe this real-time diagnostic system is in clinical practice. If successful, it will help doctors choose better personalized treatments, reduce unnecessary surgeries, lower recurrence rates, and ultimately improve patients' lives.

NCT06164704
The primary purpose of this study is to assess the effect of verekitug (UPB-101) on the endoscopically determined size and extend of nasal polyps in participants with chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) and to assess the safety and tolerability of verekitug (UPB-101) compared to placebo.
NCT05598814
This clinical trial will compare treatment in patients with chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) and asthma. The patients will be randomized to treatment with the biologic drug, Mepolizumab, or the biologic drug Mepolizumab combined with Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery (FESS). The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of combined treatment with biologic treatment and surgery vs. biologic treatment only. The hypothesis is that surgical removal of polyps and inflamed tissue from the nasal sinuses will increase the effect of the biologic treatment, leading to a lower disease burden after 6 months of treatment, compared with biologic drugs only. Furthermore, combined biologics and surgery will keep a lower disease burden and better general health after 12 months of treatment than biologics alone. Inclusion criteria: * Patients ≥ 18 years old at the time of signed informed consent (no upper limit) * Patients who are referred to the outpatient clinic for the following reasons: * Doctor's diagnosis of CRS * NPS ≥ 2+2 out of a score of 8 (max) * Severity measured as an SNOT22 score \> 35 * One FESS in general anaesthesia performed prior to inclusion (no time limitations) * No course of systemic steroids within the last 3 months, whereas a daily low dose is allowed * Possible doctor's diagnosis of asthma * Type 2 inflammation Exclusion criteria: * Patients who, because of language barriers, are not able to understand written information and, thus, are not able to answer questionnaires * Patients who currently receive biologics for any other disease * Patients who have previously or currently received biologics for CRS or asthma * Patients who are not able to give informed consent (i.e., patients who are permanently incapable) * Patients who meet ≥1 of the following: * Malignant lung disease * Cardiac disease of clinical importance * Current pregnancy and breastfeeding, as well as planning to be pregnant in the near future * Unwillingness to have FESS performed * Patients needing FESS or systemic steroids (OCS) during the study period will be excluded after an unscheduled visit (last observation carried forward (LOCF)) * Patients who are not eligible because of the investigator's judgement The effect of the treatment will be evaluated with objective procedures and questionnaires related to CRSwNP and asthma after 3, 6 and 12 months.

Three-dimensional (3D) printing has been an emerging technology with uses in a wide array of fields. This research aims to use 3D printing as a tool to provide personalized education to maximize treatment efficacy based on the patient's individual anatomy. With increased irrigation to the sinuses, we hypothesize there will be improved patient satisfaction and higher quality of life. The outcomes of this research could lead to a new option for patients who live with chronic rhinosinusitis are not candidates for surgery or are interested in less invasive options. The 3D printed nasal replica is not something that would be implanted, rather it is a hand-held device used specifically for participants to better understand their nasal anatomy.
NCT06801353
Recently, several biologic therapies have become available for treating chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP). However, not every patient responds to these treatments. This clinical trial aims to develop a non-invasive predictive model to help determine how effective IL-4Rα targeted monoclonal antibody therapy will be for individuals with CRSwNP.
NCT04147013
This is a proposed randomized prospective study to evaluate both the anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects of a COX-2 inhibitor, celecoxib, in patients with aspirin-exacerbated respiratory disease and Chronic rhinosinusitis following endoscopic sinus surgery. The investigators hypothesize that supplementation with celecoxib can potentially improve surgical outcomes and reduce the postoperative usage of opioid analgesics without an increased risk of bleeding or asthma exacerbation
NCT05642806
This study aims to analyze the immune profiles of patients with Chronic Rhinosinusitis with Nasal polyps (CRSwNP) with and without asthma before and after Mepolizumab. A group of participants with CRS without nasal polyps (CRSsNP) with asthma will be included to compare their immune profiles to CRSwNP.
NCT05708300
Mepolizumab is a biologic agent already approved for severe asthma. Recently, there is increasing evidence concerning the benefit of anti-IL5 treatments upon patients with nasal polyposis with or without severe asthma. The novelty of this project is that no biologic agent has yet been fully investigated to identify any biomarkers of response for patients with nasal polyps with or without asthma including sinonasal tissue remodeling a key element in the resultant histopathological changes of the inflammation. The investigation of airway remodeling of various locations (nose and bronchus) under mepolizumab treatment will be our primary objective on the long-term basis of 156 weeks of treatment. Endobronchial and nasal biopsies will be performed as routine care for tissue evauation and disease investigation for every patient. Besides, the united airways will provide better guidance for medical treatment of chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) patients with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) and asthma. The initial idea is based on investigating the characteristics that could predict the effectiveness of mepolizumab on patients with nasal polyposis with or without asthma. Patients will receive 39 doses of mepolizumab for 156 weeks. An additional aim of this study is to identify characteristics of non-responders and responders to mepolizumab. Responders will be identified based on airway remodeling status, biomarkers in tissue and secretion samples and on the reduction of the need of surgery through Lund-Kennedy endoscopic score, Lund-Mackay score and patient's clinical status in the 6th, 12th and 36th month after the initiation of treatment. Regarding the unified airway system, nose and pharyngeal microbiome will be evaluated before and after 52 weeks of mepolizumab treatment in patients with nasal polyps whereas in patients with nasal polyps and asthma bronchus microbiome will also be evaluated. Lung samples will help gain information about the inflammatory profile and local microbiome of CRSwNP patients with asthma through molecular and cellular assays. The human Pharyngeal Microbiome might play a protective role in Respiratory Tract Infections and it has been reported that the microbiome provides critical signals to promote maturation of immune cells and differentiation of the tissue. Thus, we will make an effort to correlate microbiome of various locations with clinical and laboratory characteristics of responders and non-responders to mepolizumab treatment.
NCT06231004
Nasal microorganisms, exfoliated cells, nasal secretions, fetal microorganisms and blood were collected from patients with chronic sinusitis with nasal polyps before medication. Nasal polyp tissues of the patients were clamped for pathologic biopsy in the outpatient clinic. Methylprednisolone was then administered to the patients for 17 days, and the nasal microbial changes were observed after the administration of the drug. Patients underwent surgical treatment after the administration of the drug, and postoperative patients were followed up for a long period of time until polyp recurrence. During the follow-up, the microorganisms in the patients' postoperative nasal cavities were collected and the postoperative microbial changes were recorded
