Immunologic Impact of Dupilumab in Patients Suffering From Asthma and Chronic Rhinosinusitis With Polyps
Sponsor: Dr. Andrew Thamboo, MD
Summary
The investigators are studying adults who have chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) and moderate to severe asthma, and who are undergoing Endoscopic Sinus Surgery (ESS). Investigators want to understand how adding a medication called dupilumab to their usual treatment affects inflammation in their upper and lower airways over 24 weeks. Dupilumab works by blocking certain signals in the immune system that contribute to inflammation in both the sinuses and the lungs. By studying how this medication changes the immune profiles of both airway systems, investigators hope to learn more about the underlying causes of airway inflammation in these conditions. This research is important because it may help understand if treating inflammation in one part of the airway (like the lungs) has a similar effect on inflammation in another part (like the sinuses). This could lead to better treatments for people with CRSwNP and asthma, targeting the root causes of their symptoms more effectively.
