Could a simple polyp removal plus a drug replace major sinus surgery?

NCT ID NCT07200336

First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study compares two treatments for chronic sinusitis with nasal polyps: a less invasive surgery (simple polyp removal) combined with an anti-IL-5 drug (mepolizumab) versus extensive sinus surgery also with the drug. About 360 participants will be randomly assigned to one of three groups: drug alone, drug plus simple polyp removal, or drug plus extensive surgery. The goal is to see if the simpler approach works just as well, improving quality of life and nasal congestion over 1 to 3 years.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

Mepolizumab (anti-IL-5 drug)

What this could lead to

If successful, this could offer a less invasive treatment option for chronic sinusitis with nasal polyps, reducing the need for extensive surgery.

What could go wrong

This is a Phase 4 trial, but it's not yet recruiting. The less invasive approach may not be as effective as extensive surgery, and the drug may cause side effects like injection reactions.
