Official title: The DEBATE Study "DEvelopment of Endotype-based Biomarkers for the Monitoring of Greek pATiEnts With CRSwNP"
Run by AstraZeneca · NCT07663409 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This study tests whether inflammatory endotypes can be used to tailor treatment for adults with chronic rhinosinusitis with or without nasal polyps in Greece.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Adults (≥18) with severe/uncontrolled CRSwNP or CRSsNP, with available nasal tissue samples and, for CRSwNP, evidence of disease burden and appropriate surgical indications per guidelines.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients not fitting the endotype-focused responder profile, or without available tissue samples, may not benefit from endotype-driven insights.

What this trial studies
This observational study collects data on inflammatory markers and disease burden in Greek adults with CRSwNP or CRSsNP. It aims to identify endotypes based on inflammatory profiles to better tailor future biologic therapies. No interventions are administered as part of the study; data collection informs endotype-based strategies. Participants may withdraw at any time, and data handling respects consent preferences. Data sources include clinical assessments and available tissue samples from prior or planned sinus surgery.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: Identification of inflammatory endotypes may enable more precise selection of therapies for CRSwNP patients in the future.
How similar studies have gone: Other observational studies have linked inflammatory endotypes with disease phenotype and treatment responses in CRS, supporting the potential value of endotype-based approaches.
