FDA- andEMA-Approved Biological Medications forCRSwNP
A summary of the FDA- and EMA-approved biologics are available in Table25.1 [712]. Three biologics—dupilumab, omalizumab, and mepolizumab—are cur­rently approved by the FDA and the EMA for the treatment of patients with CRSwNP.The drugs’ major clinical trials are summarized in Table25.2. In all the clinical trials, the efcacy of these biologics was tested, while study participants continued the use of intranasal topical steroid spray. Consequently, biologics are considered add-on treatments to intranasal corticosteroids.
For patients with steroid-dependent CRS and/or asthma starting biological treat­ment, gradual and careful corticosteroid cessation is advised because an abrupt reduction in corticosteroid dosage may be associated with systemic withdrawal symptoms and/or unmask conditions previously suppressed by systemic corticoste­roid therapy (e.g., eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis) [712].
Type 2 inammation plays a signicant role in the immune system’s defense mechanism against parasitic (helminth) infection. As a result, patients who take biologics might be at an increased risk of acquiring parasitic infection or being unable to clear parasitic infections [1014]. Further studies are needed to gather additional information. The FDA addressed this issue and summarized that preex­isting parasitic (helminth) infection should be treated before initiating biologics. If patients become infected while receiving dupilumab and do not respond to anti­helminth treatment, consider discontinuing the treatment until the infection resolves [1012].

Dupilumab

Dupilumab is a fully human monoclonal antibody that binds to the IL-4Ra subunit and thereby inhibits the signaling of IL-4 and IL-13 (Fig.25.1). The effectiveness and safety of dupilumab vs. placebo have been evaluated in several studies. The phase III studies were LIBERTY NP SINUS-24 and SINUS-52 [15] (Table25.2). These studies found that:
• Dupilumab was found to induce signicant improvement in nasal symptoms
(nasal congestion, sense of smell), disease-related QOL, nasal polyp score
(NPS), sense of smell, and radiologic sinus opacication (LMS).
• Dupilumab also reduced the need for systemic corticosteroids and ESS.
• Stopping the medication after 24weeks of treatment led to a gradual exacerba-
tion of symptoms, which might indicate that prolonged and even life-long treat-
ment is required.
*Special Considerations
Transient eosinophilia is a common side effect of dupilumab treatment. The exact pathogenesis is unclear. One hypothesis is that dupilumab blocks eosinophil tissue migration by inhibiting the production of eotaxins mediated by IL-13, thereby increasing circulating blood eosinophils [15]. Another explanation is that the corticosteroid- sparing effect of dupilumab can expose existing cases of eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis (EGPA) and hypereosinophilic syndrome (HES) that were masked by prolonged treatment with systemic corticosteroids which is eventually weaned when taking the biologic [16]. This eosinophilia is typically transient and asymptomatic, occurring within 2–6months of treatment. However, a growing number of publications have highlighted a possible correlation between dupilumab treatment and eosinophilic complications such as EGPA and HES [1720]. An unpublished postmarketing analysis of the FDA Adverse Event Reporting System Public Dashboard found 218 reports of eosinophilic complica­tions of dupilumab treatment, including 92 reports of EGPA and 92 reports of eosin­ophilic complications of the respiratory tract. The recent EUFOREA guideline addressed this issue and suggested the following algorithm to monitor eosinophil levels during dupilumab treatment [5]. Figure25.3 details a proposed algorithm for monitoring blood eosinophil levels during dupilumab treatment.

Omalizumab

Omalizumab is an anti-IgE monoclonal antibody, approved by the FDA in 2020 for the treatment of CRSwNP. POLYP 1 and POLYP 2 were phase III clinical trials (Table25.2) that studied the effectiveness and safety of omalizumab vs. placebo in participants with CRSwNP [21]. These studies found that:
• Omalizumab improved nasal symptoms, NPS, disease-related QOL, and sense of
smell and reduced the need for ESS.
• There was no signicant change in the need for rescue treatment with systemic
corticosteroids.
*Special Considerations
IgE is thought to play a vital role in cancer immune surveillance. Some studies have reported a possible link between absent or very low serum IgE levels and malig-
23]. A recent literature review by the World Allergy Organization addressed this
question and summarized that there is no evidence of an increased risk of malig­nancy in omalizumab-treated patients. They concluded that there was no increase in the number of tumor cases in omalizumab patients compared to the general
314
population based on systematic studies and meta-analyses performed on more than 40,000 patients [24].
Anaphylaxis and other hypersensitivity reactions, such as serum sickness, were described. The FDA advises administering the drug only in a healthcare setting prepared to manage anaphylaxis and stopping treatment in the case of fever, arthral­gia, and rash [11].

Mepolizumab

Mepolizumab is an anti-IL-5 monoclonal antibody, and its binding to IL-5 reduces the production and survival of eosinophils. The FDA has approved mepolizumab for treating CRSwNP since 2021. SYNAPSE (summarized in Table25.2) was the main phase III clinical trial evaluating mepolizumab vs. placebo over a 52-week period [28]. This study found that:
• Mepolizumab demonstrated efcacy in improving nasal symptoms, disease-
related QOL, NPS, sense of smell, and sinus opacication.
• It reduced the need for ESS and systemic corticosteroids and reduced the levels
of blood eosinophils.
• Half of the patients in the mepolizumab group had an improvement of 1 point or
more in nasal polyp scores.
*Special Considerations
Herpes zoster infections have occurred in patients receiving mepolizumab. Consider vaccination if medically appropriate [12].
Matching theBiologic tothePatient
Thus far, nostudy has directly compared the efcacy of one biologic to another in treatment of CRSwNP. In addition,no biomarkers have been identied to dene a certain group of type 2 CRS patients that will respond best to a certain biological medication. However, indirect treatment analyses have suggested that dupilumab may have a better response than mepolizumab and omalizumab in CRSwNP patients [3234]. Further studies are required to establish a denitive preference for one biologic over another.
Deciding on the appropriate biologic should be tailored to the individual patient,be based on a multidisciplinary approach, and take into account several fac­tors, includingcomorbidities (e.g., allergic asthma, atopic dermatitis, and eosino­philic diseases), the option of home administration, cost, local health economics, and patient compliance and preference. One other factor to consider is the duration of treatment response with various biologics. For instance, one study showed that mepolizumab may have a possible sustained effect for a duration of 6months [35]. Some evidence suggests benets of switching biological medications or even com­bining biologics for patients with type 2 comorbidities (e.g., asthma). It is
25 Biological Treatment forChronic Rhinosinusitis withNasal Polyposis
Fig. 25.4 Suggested algorithm to monitor and assess patient’s response to treatment
315
alsoreasonable to consider transitioning to an alternative biologic when the response is suboptimal or an adverse reaction is encountered. However, further studies are required to establish denitive recommendations. Figure25.4 is a suggested algo­rithm to monitor treatment response. It is important to note that the time until medi­cation response is observed can vary signicantly from days to months.
Biological Treatment forAspirin-Exacerbated Respiratory Disease (AERD)
AERD or NERD (nonsteroidal anti-inammatory drug-exacerbated respiratory dis­ease) is a subgroup of CRSwNP, that is characterized by CRSwNP, asthma, and hypersensitivity reactions to aspirin and NSAIDs. It is also known as “Samter’s triad.” [36]. Its prevalence is approximately 10% in CRSwNP and 15% in severe asthma [37]. This entity is driven by type 2 inammation, is associated with severe and difcult-to-treat asthma and rhinosinusitis, and often presents with aggressive and rapid recurrence of nasal polyps following ESS [38]. The integration of biolog­ics into the management of asthma and CRSwNP gave new hope to patients with these frustrating diseases. The current evidence supports the use of biologics in AERD; however, more high-quality studies are needed to furtherassess the impact of biologics on this specic subgroup of patients and to determine what is the best biological medication for them. The major studies evaluating the role ofbiological treatment in AERD are summarized in Table25.3.
