Abstract
The management of chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) can be challenging, particularly when standard treatments including intranasal corticosteroids and endoscopic sinus surgery do not result in adequate symptom control. CRSwNP is frequently characterized by a type 2 immune signature, and many patients have other comorbid type 2 conditions, including asthma. There are currently 3 biologic therapies approved for the treatment of CRSwNP—omalizumab, mepolizumab, and dupilumab—and there are promising therapies in development. Biologic therapies allow for improved patient quality of life in CRSwNP, reduction in need for systemic corticosteroid treatment and endoscopic sinus surgery, and improvement in treatment of comorbidities. Translational studies assessing how biologic therapies can modify inflammation in CRSwNP have allowed for a greater understanding of CRSwNP pathogenesis. We review CRSwNP clinical trial and real-world data on the effectiveness and safety of biologics, discuss their therapeutic mechanisms, assess outcomes of biologic therapy versus endoscopic sinus surgery, and discuss therapies in development and future directions.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology is a prestigious publication that features groundbreaking research in the fields of Allergy, Asthma, and Immunology. This influential journal publishes high-impact research papers that explore various topics, including asthma, food allergy, allergic rhinitis, atopic dermatitis, primary immune deficiencies, occupational and environmental allergy, and other allergic and immunologic diseases. The articles not only report on clinical trials and mechanistic studies but also provide insights into novel therapies, underlying mechanisms, and important discoveries that contribute to our understanding of these diseases. By sharing this valuable information, the journal aims to enhance the diagnosis and management of patients in the future.
