About one-tenth of patients with difficult-to-treat chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) have comorbid non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug-exacerbated respiratory disease (NSAID-ERD). Dupilumab, a fully human monoclonal antibody that blocks the shared interleukin (IL)-4/IL-13 receptor component, is an approved add-on treatment in severe CRSwNP. This post hoc analysis evaluated dupilumab efficacy and safety in patients with CRSwNP with/without NSAID-ERD.
Data were pooled from the phase 3 SINUS-24 and SINUS-52 studies in adults with uncontrolled severe CRSwNP who received dupilumab 300 mg or placebo every 2 weeks. CRSwNP, nasal airflow, lung function, and asthma control outcomes at Week 24 were evaluated, and treatment-subgroup interactions were assessed for patients with and without NSAID-ERD.
Of 724 patients, 204 (28.2%) had a diagnosis of NSAID-ERD. At Week 24, least squares mean treatment differences demonstrated significant improvements in nasal polyp score, nasal congestion (NC), Lund-Mackay computed tomography, 22-item Sinonasal Outcome Test (SNOT-22), Total Symptom Score (TSS), rhinosinusitis severity visual analog scale, peak nasal inspiratory flow (PNIF), six-item Asthma Control Questionnaire score, and improvement in smell with dupilumab versus placebo (all p < .0001) in patients with NSAID-ERD. Treatment comparisons demonstrated significantly greater improvements with dupilumab in patients with versus without NSAID-ERD for NC (p = .0044), SNOT-22 (p = .0313), TSS (p = .0425), and PNIF (p = .0123).
In patients with uncontrolled severe CRSwNP, dupilumab significantly improved objective measures and patient-reported symptoms to a greater extent in the presence of comorbid NSAID-ERD than without. Dupilumab was well tolerated in patients with/without NSAID-ERD.
大约十分之一的难治性慢性鼻-鼻窦炎伴鼻息肉(CRSwNP)患者伴有非甾体抗炎药加重的呼吸道疾病(NSAID-ERD)。度普利尤单抗是一种完全人源化的单克隆抗体,可阻断共同的白细胞介素(IL)-4/IL-13 受体成分,是一种批准的重度 CRSwNP 附加治疗药物。本事后分析评估了度普利尤单抗在伴有/不伴有 NSAID-ERD 的 CRSwNP 患者中的疗效和安全性。
来自成人未控制重度 CRSwNP 患者的 3 期 SINUS-24 和 SINUS-52 研究的数据进行了汇总,这些患者每 2 周接受 300mg 度普利尤单抗或安慰剂治疗。评估了第 24 周时的 CRSwNP、鼻气流、肺功能和哮喘控制结果,并评估了伴有和不伴有 NSAID-ERD 的患者的治疗亚组间的相互作用。
在 724 名患者中,有 204 名(28.2%)诊断为 NSAID-ERD。在第 24 周时,最小二乘均数治疗差异显示,度普利尤单抗治疗与安慰剂治疗相比,鼻息肉评分、鼻阻塞(NC)、Lund-Mackay 计算机断层扫描、22 项鼻-鼻窦炎结局测试(SNOT-22)、总症状评分(TSS)、鼻-鼻窦炎严重程度视觉模拟评分、峰值鼻吸气流量(PNIF)、6 项哮喘控制问卷评分和嗅觉改善均有显著改善(均 p<.0001)。在伴有和不伴有 NSAID-ERD 的患者中,与安慰剂相比,度普利尤单抗治疗的 NC(p=.0044)、SNOT-22(p=.0313)、TSS(p=.0425)和 PNIF(p=.0123)的改善更为显著。
在未控制的重度 CRSwNP 患者中,与不伴有 NSAID-ERD 的患者相比,度普利尤单抗显著改善了客观指标和患者报告的症状,且程度更大。在伴有和不伴有 NSAID-ERD 的患者中,度普利尤单抗均具有良好的耐受性。
