Abstract

Chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyposis (CRSwNP) is associated with substantial sinus opacification. In a phase 2a study (NCT01920893), dupilumab, a fully human anti-IL-4Rα monoclonal antibody, improved outcomes in CRSwNP refractory to intranasal corticosteroids. We evaluated dupilumab's effect on sinus opacification in relation to effects on nasal polyp burden, symptoms, and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in patients with CRSwNP.
