Study Summary

This trial will test if dupilumab can reduce staph colonization and increase microbial diversity in people with sinus infections, correlating with improved smell and reduced inflammation.

Who is the study for?
Adults aged 18-65 with chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) and staph aureus colonization can join. They must meet FDA criteria for Dupilumab use, have well-controlled asthma or atopic dermatitis if present, and a history of sinus surgery. Smokers, pregnant women, those with recent serious illness or medication changes are excluded.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The trial tests whether Dupilumab injections reduce staph bacteria in the sinuses and increase microbial diversity in CRSwNP patients. It also examines if these changes improve smell function and decrease inflammation markers related to T2 cytokines/chemokines.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Dupilumab may cause allergic reactions, eye problems like conjunctivitis or keratitis, injection site reactions, joint pain/inflammation, headache, cold sores in your mouth or throat.
