Abstract
Purpose of review: Despite molecular underlying advances, limited and divergent data on monoclonal antibodies (mAb) therapy in chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) make further analysis necessary. The objective of this study is to evaluate the effect of omalizumab as an adjunct to endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS) on the treatment of CRSwNP under real-life conditions.
Recent findings: Since the introduction of omalizumab, as the first biologic agent for the treatment of diseases such as severe allergic asthma, different studies have demonstrated an effect of omalizumab on CRSwNP, with significant improvements in sinonasal symptoms and endoscopic scores. The high efficacy derived from mAb therapy and the need for ESS prior to mAb recommended by guidelines, has led to compare both therapeutic alternatives, finding discrepancies in their effect on quality of life (QoL) and complementary tests outcomes. Patients with moderate-to-severe asthma with clinical criteria for omalizumab indication, and coexistent CRSwNP disease, were selected for a non-randomized interventional retrospective study into four treatment subgroups. Measures were analyzed and compared between groups and over time at the baseline, 16 weeks and 1 and 2 years after treatment. Omalizumab treatment in patients with previous ESS exhibited an earlier and more pronounced improvement in QoL, symptoms scale and endoscopic findings (nasal polyp score and the bilateral modified Lund-Kennedy) as early from week 16, which improvement persisted for 2 years. A greater mean improvement of 33.4 ± 6.5 (95% CI: 20.3-46.4; p < 0.001) points in sinonasal outcome test 22 (SNOT-22) was associated with ESS at week 16, against omalizumab effect (17.8 ± 7.6 [95% CI: 2.6-33.0]; p = 0.023). At year 2, an improvement in SNOT-22 of 62.6 ± 8.9 (95% CI: 48.4-84.1; p < 0.001) points was exclusively associated with omalizumab. Clinical evidence of the effect of omalizumab added to ESS treatment is provided in this study in the short- and long-term.
期刊介绍：
The aim of Current Allergy and Asthma Reports is to systematically provide the views of highly selected experts on current advances in the fields of allergy and asthma and highlight the most important papers recently published. All reviews are intended to facilitate the understanding of new advances in science for better diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of allergy and asthma.
We accomplish this aim by appointing international experts in major subject areas across the discipline to review select topics emphasizing recent developments and highlighting important new papers and emerging concepts. We also provide commentaries from well-known figures in the field, and an Editorial Board of internationally diverse members suggests topics of special interest to their country/region and ensures that topics are current and include emerging research. Over a one- to two-year period, readers are updated on all the major advances in allergy and asthma.
