Summary
This trial will compare immune profiles of people with CRSwNP with/without asthma before/after treatment with Mepolizumab. Results could help tailor treatment for CRSwNP.
Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults over 19 with Chronic Rhinosinusitis and nasal polyps, with or without asthma. Participants must not be smokers, have a history of lung transplants, sinus or bronchial tumors, certain infections, autoimmune diseases, immunodeficiency or allergies to biologics. Women must use birth control and have negative pregnancy tests during the study.
What is being tested?
The study compares immune responses in patients treated with Mepolizumab versus those given a placebo. It includes chronic rhinosinusitis sufferers both with and without nasal polyps but excludes individuals who've recently taken antibiotics or have specific health exclusions.
What are the potential side effects?
While the trial description doesn't specify side effects of Mepolizumab, common ones may include headache, injection site reactions (pain or swelling), fatigue and potential allergic reactions.
