Abstract
The ANCHOR-1 and ANCHOR-2 trials of the long-acting anti-interleukin (IL)-5 monoclonal antibody depemokibab in chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyposis demonstrated the safety and statistical efficacy of the drug compared to placebo.1 However, its clinical benefits appear limited compared to other biologic therapies. The reduced dosing interval may improve adherence, but further research is needed to identify the most responsive patients.
