Biologic drug vs. surgery for nasal polyps
Treatments studied
Part of Ear, nose & throat clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have nasal polyps on both sides, confirmed by a doctor's exam.
- You've had nasal blockage or a poor sense of smell for over 3 months.
- A blood or tissue test shows high levels of eosinophils, a sign of allergic inflammation.
- You have tried standard treatments (like steroid sprays) for at least 4 weeks without success.
- You have not had sinus surgery before for your polyps.

This study follows people with chronic rhinosinusitis and nasal polyps who are starting a biologic medication (omalizumab, mepolizumab, or dupilumab) to see how well it works in real life.
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 trial tests a new injectable medicine (lebrikizumab) for people with chronic sinusitis and nasal polyps that steroid treatments haven't controlled. It aims to reduce polyp size and improve breathing, smell, and congestion.
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 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 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.
