What You Need to Know Before You Apply

What is the purpose of this trial?

This trial tests a new injectable medication, verekitug (UPB-101), for people with chronic rhinosinusitis and nasal polyps who are already using nasal sprays. The goal is to see if it can shrink the polyps and improve symptoms.

Will I have to stop taking my current medications?

The trial does not specify if you need to stop taking your current medications, but you must have stable treatment for nasal polyps for at least 30 days before starting the trial and continue using a nasal spray like mometasone furoate during the trial.
