In addition to subjective assessment, there must be objective
evidence of sinonasal inflammation and nasal polyps
on sinus CT scan and/or nasal endoscopy

Prevalence of Type 2 Inflammatory Comorbidities:
Focus on Asthma!
Up to 65% of patients with CRSwNP have comorbid asthma in
some studies
+ Prevalence of asthma in the general US population is 8.5%
+ CRSwhP tends to be associated with adult-onset asthma, rathe:
childhood-onset asthma

+ Polyp recurrence can range from 10%-40%, and is more common in
people with comorbidities
— In older studies, polyp recurrence rates were
> 6 months after surgery: 35%
> 12 months after surgery: 38%
> 18 months after surgery: 40%
+ Newer endoscopic approaches (eg, DRAF III, “reboot”) have reduced
2-year polyp recurrence rates to <10%
+ Type 2 inflammation is associated with more severe sinus disease and
symptoms and recurrence after surgery

Comparing Biologics for CRSwNP Treatment:
Systematic Reviews
+ Lack of head-to-head trials and heterogeneity among published studies make comparisons difficult
+ Asystematic review of 37 eligible studies used indirect comparisons to answer the question which agent to select and why!
- Conclusion: All agents showed significant improvements in polyp size, sinus opacification, severity of symptoms, need for
surgery, and systemic corticosteroid use, but authors concluded that “dupilumab appeared to be the most beneficial agent,
in terms of primary and secondary outcomes”
+ Asystematic review of 36 eligible studies similarly examined impact on sense of smell?
= Conclusion: Dupilumab demonstrated improvement within 1 week, which was sustained for up to 52 weeks; omalizumab
improved sense of smell at 24 weeks but not to a clinically relevant degree; and mepolizumab improved sense of smell at
24 and 52 weeks, measured with a subjective scale

Ethnic/Geographic Differences May Affect
Response to Biologics in CRSwNP'2
+ Th cytokine levels, eosinophilic/neutrophilic patterns, and SE-specific
IgE expressions show extreme diversity among patients with CRS
from Europe, Asia, and Oceania
+ Patients with CRS from Asian regions may be less susceptible to
Th2-mediated disease than patients from European regions, possibly
due to a combination of genetic and environmental factors
— NP tissue was eosinophilic in 27% of Asian patients versus 65%
of White patients with CRS

CRSWNP is associated with substantial discomfort and negative impact on QOL
Type 2-directed biologic therapies approved for CRSwNP—as well as asthma and other
inflammatory conditions—include dupilumab, omalizumab, and mepolizumab, with others
in development
+ These therapies can reduce nasal polyp size, improve QOL, and reduce the burden of disease
for patients
Considerations for determining whether a patient is a candidate for biologic treatment
include CRSwNP severity and degree of control with other treatment approaches, as well
as presence of comorbidities
