Study Summary

This trial will test whether Dupilumab can prevent recurrences of chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) after surgery. Dupilumab is administered before and after surgery to reduce type 2 inflammation. The primary outcome is the absence of recurrence of mucosal oedema of the sinus cavity as assessed by endoscopy.

Who is the study for?
Adults over 18 with chronic rhinosinusitis and nasal polyps scheduled for revision surgery, experiencing ongoing symptoms. Excluded are those with recent sinus surgeries, certain infections or conditions that could affect the study's outcome, a history of significant illness, immunosuppression, malignancy within 5 years (with exceptions), pregnant or breastfeeding women, and those not using acceptable contraception.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The trial is testing if Dupilumab injections before and after sinus surgery can prevent recurrence of nasal polyps by reducing Type 2 inflammation. Participants will receive either Dupilumab or placebo in seven injections around the time of their surgery. The main goal is to see if there's less swelling in the sinuses afterwards.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Dupilumab may cause side effects like allergic reactions at injection sites, eye problems (like redness or itching), headaches, joint pain, and possibly more serious allergic reactions. Mometasone Furoate might cause nosebleeds, sore throat or coughing.
