ISS-RESMEPO Trial Summary

This trial is proposing to assess the mechanism of mepolizumab's long-lasting response to CRSwNP and identify predictors of response.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for people with severe nasal polyps and chronic rhinosinusitis who've had at least one related surgery in the last 10 years. They must have ongoing symptoms despite using nasal steroid treatments for over 4 weeks. Excluded are those with recent nose surgeries, certain allergies, HIV, or reactions to similar drugs; also excluded are pregnant women not using effective contraception.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests Mepolizumab's long-term effects on patients with chronic rhinosinusitis and nasal polyps. It explores how this drug might lead to lasting improvements even after treatment ends by affecting various biological processes beyond just reducing inflammation caused by eosinophils.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
While specific side effects aren't listed here, Mepolizumab can generally cause headaches, injection site reactions, fatigue, and sometimes allergic reactions since it's a monoclonal antibody targeting part of the immune system.
