Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Adults with chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps, bilateral polyposis, high nasal polyp score, and high SNOT-22 who choose and can receive any of the three biologics studied.

Probably not a fit

Patients who do not respond to one or more biologics or who have biomarker profiles not suited to the available therapies may see limited or no benefit.

What this trial studies

This Phase 4 interventional study investigates biologic therapies for adults with chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps who elect to receive biologic treatment. Participants must have bilateral nasal polyps, a nasal polyp score above 5, and a SNOT-22 score above 30, and they must be able to receive all three biologic medications studied. The trial aims to identify which biologic, or combination of factors, best predicts response to treatment and to improve understanding of biomarkers that may guide therapy. Conducted at multiple sites, the study builds on prior approvals of dupilumab, omalizumab, and mepolizumab by exploring real-world effectiveness and patient-specific outcomes. Endpoints likely include symptom relief, polyp burden, and quality of life over the treatment course.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, patients could receive a more personalized biologic treatment choice resulting in better symptom control and quality of life.

How similar studies have gone: Prior trials show biologics can help many patients, but response varies; this study seeks to refine who benefits most.

Show full inclusion / exclusion criteria
Inclusion Criteria:

* Age \> 18 years
* Confirmed diagnosis of chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyposis using ICAR-21 (International Consensus Statement 20215) criteria
* Bilateral nasal polyposis visible on sinonasal endoscopy
* Nasal polyp score \> 5
* Baseline SNOT-22 total score \> 30
* Patient elects biologic therapy for the management of CRSwNP
* Capable of receiving all 3 biologic therapy medications.
* Treatment with intranasal mometasone ≥200 μg. once daily (or equivalent of another intranasal corticosteroid) for 1-month prior to baseline visit.

Exclusion Criteria:

* Inability or unwillingness of a participant to give written informed consent or comply with study protocol
* Endoscopic sinus surgery within 6-months preceding enrollment / randomization.
* Oral corticosteroid use within 30-days preceding enrollment / randomization.
* Serum IgE level outside the dosing range for omalizumab (i.e., \<30 IU/ml. or a weight-based dose with insufficient data to determine dose as per FDA dosing chart)
* Comorbid atopic dermatitis, urticaria, or any other condition that would require a specific biologic per the standard of care.
* Currently pregnant or plan to become pregnant within the 6 months after enrollment / randomization.
* Any previous treatment with any of the 3 biologic medications.
* Comorbid cystic fibrosis, CVID, or ciliary dyskinesia.
* Comorbid systemic inflammatory disorders (e.g., GPA, EGPA, Sarcoidosis, SLE)
* Past or current medical problems or findings from physical examination or laboratory testing that are not listed above, which, in the opinion of the investigator, may pose additional risks for participation in the study, may interfere with the participant's ability to comply with study requirements, or that may impact the quality or interpretation of the data obtained from the study.
