Observational study on biological treatments for severe chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps
Official title: Real Life Study Assessing Long Term Outcomes and Predictive Factors of Response to Biologicals in Patients With Severe CRSwNP and/or Severe Allergic and/or Eosinophilic Asthma
Run by University Hospital, Ghent · NCT05938972 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This study is looking at how well new biological treatments work for adults with severe chronic sinus issues and nasal polyps, while also checking how these treatments affect symptoms over time.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates include adults aged 18 to 80 with severe CRSwNP who are starting biological treatment and meet reimbursement criteria.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients who do not meet the reimbursement criteria for biological therapy will not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies
This observational study aims to recruit adult patients with chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) who are eligible to start biological treatments. It will follow these patients over time to assess the long-term outcomes of biological therapies, including their effects on nasal symptoms and polyp scores. The study will also investigate local and systemic biomarkers to predict responses to treatment and explore the mechanisms of biologicals in immune regulation. Collaboration between the ENT and pulmonary departments will enhance the study's insights into patient care.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could lead to improved treatment strategies for patients with severe CRSwNP, enhancing their quality of life.
How similar studies have gone: While this approach is observational and builds on existing knowledge, similar studies have shown promise in understanding the effects of biologicals in chronic conditions.
