Patients with Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAID)-Exacerbated Respiratory Disease (N-ERD) can suffer from difficult-to-treat primary diffuse type 2 chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP). This study evaluates dupilumab effectiveness and dose tapering in CRSwNP patients with N-ERD compared to those without.
A real-world prospective cohort with CRSwNP patients, with N-ERD or without (CRSwNP-NOS; not otherwise specified), aged ≥ 18 treated with dupilumab 300 mg subcutaneously every 2 weeks. In case of clinical control, the interdose interval was prolonged every 6 months with steps of 2 weeks. (Clinical) data were collected at baseline, 24 weeks, and 2 years of treatment.
Most baseline characteristics, including Nasal Polyp Score (NPS), Sino-Nasal Outcome Test-22 (SNOT-22), and Sniffin' sticks-12 test (SSIT-12) were comparable between groups (N-ERD n = 105, CRSwNP-NOS n = 293). There was a higher prevalence (91.5% vs. 71.1%, p < 0.001) but comparable control of asthma in N-ERD patients (asthma control test [ACT]: N-ERD 66.7% less controlled/uncontrolled vs. CRSwNP-NOS 58.3%, p = 0.21). All outcomes improved significantly with dupilumab treatment at 24 weeks and remained improved after 2 years, without intergroup differences (median scores at 24 weeks for N-ERD patients vs. CRSwNP-NOS, respectively: NPS: 2 vs. 1, p = 0.65; SNOT-22: 18 vs. 19, p = 0.27; SSIT-12: 7 vs. 8, p = 0.02; ACT: 21 vs. 22, p = 0.11). Dose tapering was possible in the majority of patients, with almost half at an 8-12 weeks interval in both groups after 2 years.
Dupilumab shows comparable effectiveness and taper feasibility between CRSwNP N-ERD patients and CRSwNP-NOS patients.
非甾体抗炎药(NSAID)加重的呼吸道疾病(N-ERD)患者可能患有难以治疗的原发性弥漫性2型慢性鼻-鼻窦炎伴鼻息肉(CRSwNP)。本研究评估了度普利尤单抗在N-ERD的CRSwNP患者与非N-ERD的CRSwNP患者中的有效性及剂量递减情况。
一项针对CRSwNP患者的真实世界前瞻性队列研究,患者年龄≥18岁,患有或未患有N-ERD(CRSwNP-NOS;未另作说明),每2周皮下注射300mg度普利尤单抗进行治疗。若达到临床控制,每6个月以2周为步长延长给药间隔。在基线、治疗24周和2年时收集(临床)数据。
两组(N-ERD组n = 105,CRSwNP-NOS组n = 293)之间的大多数基线特征具有可比性,包括鼻息肉评分(NPS)、鼻窦结局测试-22(SNOT-22)和嗅觉棒12项测试(SSIT-12)。N-ERD患者哮喘患病率更高(91.5%对71.1%,p < 0.001),但哮喘控制情况相当(哮喘控制测试[ACT]:N-ERD组66.7%控制不佳/未控制,CRSwNP-NOS组58.3%,p = 0.21)。度普利尤单抗治疗24周时所有结局均显著改善,2年后仍保持改善,且组间无差异(N-ERD患者与CRSwNP-NOS患者在24周时的中位数评分分别为:NPS:2对1,p = 0.65;SNOT-22:18对19,p = 0.27;SSIT-12:7对8,p = 0.02;ACT:21对22,p = 0.11)。大多数患者可以进行剂量递减,2年后两组中几乎一半患者的给药间隔为8 - 12周。
度普利尤单抗在CRSwNP N-ERD患者和CRSwNP-NOS患者中显示出相当的有效性和递减可行性。
