Our Goals for Today

Recognize the clinical characteristics of CRSwNP and the overlap
with other type 2 inflammatory disorders

Determine which patients with CRSwNP may be candidates

for biologic therapy

Collaborate with care team members to use biologics in the
TT management of CRSWNP

Monitor patients during treatment with biologics, to assess


response and inform future management

Surgery May Not Be a Cure for Nasal Polyps‘

+ 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

Multidisciplinary Collaboration and
Coordination of CRSwNP Treatment!

Proposal of the Multidisciplinary EUFOREA Expert Board Meeting

+ Integrated care
pathways for CRSWNP
require collaboration

— Education of patients
and PCPs can
facilitate timely and
accurate diagnosis

— Patients with a
high-risk phenotype
(eg, asthma, N-ERD)
should be referred to
specialists early in
disease to optimize
multidisciplinary
management

Every patient with CRS should have
at least one evaluation for asthma
and allergy

Validated questionnaire
Spirometry

Skin prick or measurement of IgE
Measurement of eosinophils,

Evaluate upper and lower airways at
every visit

Adjust treatment with attention to full
unified airways

Regularly measure type 2
biomarkers

Monitor the use of systemic

Conclusions

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
