Chronic Rhinosinusitis With Nasal Polyps (CRSwNP)

Chronic Rhinosinusitis with Nasal Polyps (CRSWNP) is a complex and persistent inflammatory disease of the paranasal sinus mucosa. It is clinically characterized by long-standing sinonasal mucosal inflammation, severe nasal congestion, continuous anterior and posterior rhinorrhea, facial pressure or fullness, and partial or complete loss of olfactory function. Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery (FESS) remains the primary surgical procedure of choice for CRSWNP cases that are refractory to conventional medical management. The ultimate goal of FESS is to restore surgical drainage pathways, improve sinus clearance, and re-establish proper sinus ventilation. This surgical intervention creates an anatomical environment optimal for post-operative topical medical therapies. Nevertheless, persistent mucosal inflammation, recalcitrant tissue edema, and post-operative recurrence of polypoid tissue represent major challenges during long-term follow-up. Despite initial surgical success, recurrent nasal polyposis remains a significant clinical challenge following Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery (FESS). In cases of recurrence, medical management plays a pivotal role in controlling mucosal inflammation and delaying or preventing re-operation. Diverse pharmacological interventions have been explored to control post-operative recurrence, including standard anti-inflammatory regimens as well as alternative systemic therapies such as some antibiotics, long-term macrolides, and novel biologics targeting specific inflammatory pathways. Macrolides, particularly 15-membered azalides such as Azithromycin, possess significant immunomodulatory and anti-inflammatory properties distinct from their classic antibacterial actions. When administered in low doses over extended periods, Azithromycin actively downregulates pro-inflammatory cytokines, inhibits tissue neutrophil infiltration, decreases goblet cell hypersecretion, and fosters mucosal healing and epithelial restoration.

ARES is a multi-centre, retrospective-prospective, non-comparative and non-interventional (observational) cohort study involving primary and secondary data collection within real-world settings of participants who have initiated tezepelumab (no more than 4 weeks before inclusion) for treatment of CRSwNP (with or without comorbid asthma).

This is a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study designed to evaluate the efficacy, safety, pharmacokinetics (PK), pharmacodynamics (PD), and immunogenicity of AK139 injection compared with placebo in participants with chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) receiving background treatment with mometasone furoate nasal spray (MFNS).

The main purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of lebrikizumab in participants with chronic rhinosinusitis and nasal polyps treated with intranasal corticosteroids. The study will last about 18 months.

Asthma affects the lower respiratory tract (bronchi), whereas chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyposis (CRSwNP) involves the upper airways. Despite this anatomical distinction, the upper and lower airways form a continuous respiratory tract and share common pathophysiological mechanisms. Consequently, asthma and CRSwNP frequently coexist, and several therapeutic strategies are effective for both conditions. Given these overlaps, we hypothesize that a multidisciplinary consultation involving both a pulmonologist and an ENT specialist could be more effective than separate consultations for patient care. We also believe that this innovative organization that would benefit the healthcare system. To test this hypothesis, we are conducting a study whose primary objective is to assess whether joint consultations lead to a reduction in oral corticosteroid need over the year following the initial consultation, by enabling more personalized treatment strategies. Secondary outcomes will include the frequency of asthma exacerbations, frequency of ENT-related events, respiratory symptoms, quality of life, and healthcare ressources utilization. We will compare outcomes between two patient groups: one receiving joint consultation from both specialists, and the other managed through standard, separate consultations as per current clinical practice.

PETRICHOR is a prospective, non-interventional, single-arm, multi-centre study in Germany evaluating real-world clinical and patient-reported outcomes in adults with severe chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP), whose disease is inadequately controlled with systemic corticosteroids (SCS) and/or surgery. Eligible participants are newly initiated on subcutaneous tezepelumab in routine clinical practice, in accordance with the European Summary of Product Characteristics (SmPC). Treatment decisions are made jointly by patients and their physicians, independent of study enrollment. No additional diagnostic or monitoring procedures are applied; data are collected using epidemiological methods at baseline and during routine clinical visits for up to 104 weeks.

This study is a randomized, double-Blind, placebo-controlled, Single and Multiple-ascending Dose Study to Evaluate the Safety, Tolerability, Pharmacokinetics, Immunogenicity, Pharmacodynamics and Clinical Activity of BBT002 in Healthy Volunteers and Participants with Chronic Rhinosinusitis with Nasal Polyps (CRSwNP) with or without Asthma.

This is a single-center, randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled clinical trial in adults with moderate-to-severe chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) who have no previous nasal surgery. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of using stapokibart for 4 weeks before endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS), compared with placebo before ESS. The main questions this study aims to answer are: * Does preoperative stapokibart combined with endoscopic sinus surgery achieve better efficacy and comparable safety compared with surgery alone? * What influences four-week preoperative stapokibart administration has on pharmacodynamic data and intraoperative surgical parameters？ * Is there a correlation between the efficacy of four-week stapokibart therapy and postoperative recurrence tendency after endoscopic sinus surgery? Researchers will randomly assign participants to receive either stapokibart or a placebo (an inactive substance that looks like the study drug) for 4 weeks before surgery. All participants will have the same standard endoscopic sinus surgery and will be followed for 48 weeks to check polyp status, symptoms, quality of life, and adverse events. This study will provide evidence about whether short-term preoperative stapokibart improves surgical and long-term outcomes for adults with CRSwNP undergoing ESS.

The goal of this clinical trial is to understand the mechanisms leading to olfactory dysfunction (OD) in chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS). The main questions it aims to answer are: * Is the type 2 inflammation impacting the olfactory epithelium regeneration, leading to OD? * Does a treatment interfering with one of the major T2 inflammatory cytokines, have an impact on the mechanisms of OD in CRS? Participants will undergo olfactory testing and nasal brushing before and after 3 months of treatment.

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.

This is a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group Phase II clinical trial. Its primary objective is to explore and preliminarily evaluate the efficacy and safety of LP-003 Injection in the treatment of participants with chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP), as well as to investigate its pharmacokinetic (PK), pharmacodynamic (PD) profiles, and immunogenicity.

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.

TQC2731 injection is a humanized monoclonal antibody that targets Thymic Stromal Lymphopoietin (TSLP), blocks the TSLP pathway, and inhibits the production of downstream cytokines, thereby exerting anti-inflammatory effects. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of TQC2731 injection in patients with chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP).

This study compares two surgical approaches combined with anti-IL-5 therapy in patients with chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP). Patients will be randomly assigned to one of the three groups: (1) anti-IL-5 alone, (2) anti-IL-5 with simple polyp removal, or (3) anti-IL-5 with extended sinus surgery. The aim of this study is to see if a less invasive surgery (simple polyp removal) with anti-IL-5 works as well as more extensive surgery with anti-IL-5. Participants will be followed for 1 to 3 years.

In this study, we will investigate the effect of tezepelumab on the epithelial barrier function of the upper and lower airways in patients suffering from severe asthma with and without chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps. This will be achieved by analysis of epithelial barrier function upon challenge with various harmful substances (e.g. cigarette smoke extract, allergens) in cultured primary respiratory tract epithelial cells. Furthermore we will assess changes in clinical parameters, cellular composition and inflammatory mediators.

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.

The goal of this observational study is to learn more about the real-world efficacy of biologics in patients with chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyposis (CRSwNP). All patients who are 18 years or older, who have CRSwNP and are eligible for reimbursement of a biological for the indication of CRSwNP can be included. The main question is the efficacy of biologics in real life after 24 weeks. The main focus are patient reported outcomes measured via several questionnaires and the nasal polyp score, scored with nasal endoscopy.

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
