MARINER Trial Summary

This trial will study how dupilumab can help people with AERD, a breathing disorder worsened by aspirin.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with Aspirin-Exacerbated Respiratory Disease (AERD), featuring asthma, nasal polyps, and reactions to aspirin. Participants must have a BMI over 18, stable asthma without recent severe episodes, visible nasal polyps, impaired sense of smell, and be non-smokers. They should use birth control and not be on certain medications or pregnant.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests Dupilumab's effectiveness against AERD by comparing it with a placebo. Dupilumab targets the IL4RA protein involved in inflammation. Patients are randomly assigned to receive either Dupilumab or an inactive substance to see if there's a difference in their respiratory symptoms.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Dupilumab may cause side effects such as allergic reactions at the injection site, eye irritation or inflammation, joint pain, headache, cold sores in your mouth or throat.
