Light-based test for eosinophilic nasal polyps during surgery
Part of Ear, nose & throat, Immune system & allergy clinical trials.
This study tests a new tool that uses light (spectroscopy) to instantly detect a type of nasal polyp during surgery. The goal is to help doctors identify polyps that are driven by eosinophils, which may guide better treatment choices for you.

This study looks for certain markers in your blood and nasal tissue that may be linked to chronic sinusitis with nasal polyps. It may help doctors understand the condition better and could lead to more targeted treatments in the future.
This study looks at how thick or thin your nasal fluids are and checks for certain allergy/immune cells in your nose during surgery. It helps doctors understand the type of inflammation you have, which may guide better treatments.
This study looks at how bacteria in the nose relate to a type of chronic sinusitis with nasal polyps. It may help find better treatments for this condition.
This study collects information from people with chronic rhinosinusitis and nasal polyps in both nostrils. By tracking patients over time, researchers hope to learn more about the condition and how to improve care.
This study compares two ways to treat chronic sinusitis with nasal polyps: giving a medicine that targets a specific type of inflammation (anti-IL-5 therapy) along with simple removal of polyps, versus a more extensive sinus surgery. The goal is to see which approach better controls your symptoms and reduces the need for repeat treatment.
This study tests a new medicine called AK139 (given as an injection) to reduce nasal polyps and improve breathing. It is for adults with chronic sinusitis and nasal polyps who still have symptoms despite using steroid sprays.
