The Role of Biologics in the Treatment of Chronic Rhinosinusitis

Nora Haloob et al. BioDrugs. 2023 Jul.

Abstract

The last decade has seen significant developments in the field of biologics for the treatment of chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP). Translational research borne from knowledge of the pathophysiology of type 2 inflammatory disease of the lower airways and the strong association with CRSwNP, has led to major therapeutic breakthroughs, with phase 3 trials of four biologics completed at the time of writing, and more underway. This article explores the evidence behind biologics for CRSwNP, the guidance on their use and the health economic factors influencing their position amongst the established therapeutic options for this common chronic condition.
