A. Ganju et al.
Montelukast is a well-known therapeutic in asthma management. Three studies
investigated nasal symptoms and polyposis in a cohort with both CRSwNP and
asthma. One study reviewed a cohort with just aspirin-exacerbated respiratory disease (AERD) [22, 24–26]. Ragab etal. found signicant symptomatic nasal relief in
aspirin-tolerant asthma (ATA) but not in AERD, while none of the patients had
improvement on objective outcome measures [24]. When accounting for AERD,
Yelverton et al. also did not nd signicant nasal changes with montelukast,
although San Nicolo etal. demonstrated symptomatic improvement and less polyp
recurrence in a small cohort [26, 27]. Nonak etal. found general improvement in CT
and nasal polyp scores with montelukast added to INC, and Schaper etal. found
improvement in edema, inammatory mediators, and symptoms with montelukast
alone [22, 25]. In studies that were not fully composed of asthma patients but
accounted for the demographic within both treatment arms, there was no signicant
difference in nasal symptoms or polyp score in those with or without asthma [14].
There are only a few randomized controlled trials studying montelukast for the
treatment of nasal polyposis. Two placebo-controlled studies showed signicant
improvement in symptom score with montelukast alone compared to placebo [25,
28]. Two studies showed similar improvement in symptoms with intranasal cortico-
steroids when compared to montelukast [18, 19]. A meta-analysis of three RTCs
evaluating the addition of montelukast to standard INC therapy found no signicant
additive benet [16, 17, 20, 21].
Only three studies examined the alternative leukotriene receptor antagonist zafirlukast or the lipoxygenase inhibitor zileuton in relation to nasal symptoms in
CRSwNP and AERD.Dahlen etal. conducted a double-blind, placebo-controlled
crossover trial with zileuton in AERD and showed a signicant improvement in the
sense of smell and rhinorrhea [29]. Ulualp etal. retrospectively examined 15 AERD
patients who received zarlukast or zileuton post-polypectomy, revealing symptomatic and endoscopic improvement [30]. Lastly, Parnes etal. conducted a prospective
trial of zarlukast or zileuton in CRSwNP with similar results as above [31].
Overall, high-quality evidence involving leukotriene modiers in CRSwNP is
lacking. Leukotriene antagonists could potentially benet patients who have failed
or are intolerant to INC as studies have shown superiority to placebo and effects
similar to INC [14]. Current evidence suggests that montelukast does not have additive benet to standard of care with INC.
Additionally, although montelukast is a well-known therapeutic in AERD, there
is insufcient evidence to support its use for improving nasal symptoms and polyps;
further investigations are necessary. It appears to be more advantageous for the
treatment of asthma in AERD.The European EPOS2020 steering group published
recommendations based on previous randomized controlled trials, stating that they
did not advise the addition of montelukast to INC in CRSwNP but may consider its
use in situations where INC have failed or are not tolerated. Further studies are
needed to determine the exact benet in this setting [16].
Side effects should be considered when determining the therapeutic benet of
leukotriene antagonists. In 2020, the FDA released a drug safety communication
requiring a boxed warning on montelukast to describe the risk of neuropsychiatric

24 Leukotriene Modiers forRecalcitrant Chronic Rhinosinusitis
299
events. Therefore, leukotriene antagonists are only recommended to patients who
have suboptimal response or intolerance to alternative therapeutics in asthma and
allergic rhinitis [6]. This recommendation should furthermore be applied to its use
in CRSwNP.Zileuton requires monitoring of liver function tests due to the risk of
hepatotoxicity and monitoring of certain drug plasma concentrations [32].
Conclusions
Leukotriene receptor antagonists may have a role in the management of refractory
chronic rhinosinusitis, but current evidence regarding their efcacy is lacking, with
the current body of literature demonstrating conicting data or showing minimal to
no benet from the addition of this class of medications.

Biological Treatment forChronic
Rhinosinusitis withNasal Polyposis
JosephK.Han andDafnaGershnabelMilk
Key Points
• Chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyposis (CRSwNP) is a challenging, difcult-
to- treat disease with a signicant impact on the patient’s quality of life (QOL)
and well-being.
• New insights on chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) pathophysiology have revealed
that it is a heterogeneous condition with several phenotypes and pathophysiological mechanisms. These insights have led to a shift towards endotype-driven
management of CRS.
• The common endotype of CRSwNP among Caucasian patients is type 2
inammation.
• In CRSwNP, the term “biological medications” refers to monoclonal antibodies
targeting specic type 2 inammatory mediators.
• The implementation of biological medications to the treatment scheme of
CRSwNP is considered a “game changer” in the management of severe type 2
CRS, with signicant improvement in patients’ subjective and objective factors.

Background
In the Western world, most patients with CRSwNP show a type 2 inammatory
signature [1]. Type 2 inammation is characterized by the activation of both innate
and adaptive inammatory cells: group 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s), mast cells,
and T helper 2 lymphocytes. This leads to the release of type 2 cytokines (IL-5,
IL-13, and IL-4), eosinophil activation, and IgE formation [2] (Fig.25.1).
Type 2 CRS is associated with severe sinus disease that is recalcitrant to standardof- care medical treatment and with prompt polyp recurrence following ESS, leading
to multiple operations. It is also associated with comorbidities that share similar
inammatory pathways, such as asthma and aspirin-exacerbated respiratory disease
(AERD) [3].
In the last decade, monoclonal antibodies targeting specic type 2 inammatory
mediators were developed to treat type 2 diseases such as asthma and atopic dermatitis. Their success in controlling these diseases has led to further research and

adaptation of the medications to treat CRSwNP.Three monoclonal antibodies are
currently approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the European
Medicines Agency (EMA) for patients with uncontrolled severe CRSwNP, and
more monoclonal antibodies are expected to be approved in the future.
Patient Selection
The currently accepted treatment algorithm, supported by several published guidelines, suggests that biologics are indicated for patients with uncontrolled type 2
CRS, despite appropriate medical treatment and surgical failure [3–5]. The term
“appropriate medical treatment” requires further clarication. A recently published
international survey among otolaryngologists found that most participants (73%)
would prescribe biologics in case of failure of topical steroidtherapy postoperatively [6]. Fokkens etal. recommend considering biologics in adult patients with
CRSwNP who have a history of previous ESS or in patients who are unt to undergo
surgical intervention, as well as three of the ve described characteristics: (1) presence of type 2 eosinophilic inammation, (2) regular need for systemic corticosteroids or contraindication to systemic steroids, (3) signicant impact of CRSwNP on
quality of life, (4) loss of sense of smell, and/or (5) comorbid asthma [5]. These
criteria are listed in Fig.25.2.
*Adult paent with CRS with bilateral nasal polyps
and
*History of previous ESS/ paent is not fit for surgery
and
*Three of the following characteriscs:
1. Presence of type 2 inflammaon: ssue eosinophils ≥10/HPF
or blood eosinophils ≥150 cells/μL or total IgE ≥100 IU/mL
2. Regular need for systemic corcosteroids (≥2 courses per
year OR >3 months low dose steroids) or contraindicaon to systemic
steroids
3. Significant impact on QOL (SNOT-22 score ≥40)
4. Loss of smell (anosmic on smell test)
5. Comorbid asthma (asthma needing regular inhaled
corcosteroids)
