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.
NCT07524127
This monocentric, interventional study (category RIPH2) aims to characterize the rheological properties of sinonasal secretions in patients with Chronic Rhinosinusitis with Nasal Polyps (CRSwNP). The primary objective is to determine differences in mucus viscosity between CRSwNP patients and a control group. By establishing a correlation between local rheology and systemic Type 2 inflammation biomarkers, the study seeks to develop a non-invasive, rapid "point-of-care" tool to refine patient phenotyping and improve the personalization of biological treatments.
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.

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.
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
