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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study examines the type of inflammation in nasal polyps by collecting small tissue samples during surgery. It may help doctors better understand why some people develop nasal polyps and how to treat them more effectively.
This trial tests an investigational medication called AK139 for people with chronic sinusitis and nasal polyps. The treatment aims to reduce nasal congestion and polyp size, potentially improving symptoms.
This study looks at the connection between your nasal microbiome (the tiny living things in your nose) and severe nasal polyps caused by type 2 inflammation. It may help find new ways to treat chronic sinusitis with polyps.
This trial compares a newer biologic drug (anti-IL-5) plus simple polyp removal to a more extensive sinus surgery. It's for people with chronic sinusitis and nasal polyps who haven't gotten better with standard treatments.
This study is looking for markers in the blood that can predict how well certain biologic drugs work for people with chronic sinusitis and nasal polyps. It may help find the right treatment for you if your symptoms are not controlled with standard sprays or after surgery.
This study looks at why people with nasal polyps lose their sense of smell and how it might come back. You may be able to join if you have had nasal blockage, runny nose, smell loss, or facial pain for at least 12 weeks, have polyps seen inside your nose, and are using a steroid spray regularly.
