Could a single biologic replace steroid sprays for nasal polyps?
NCT ID NCT07701967
First seen Jul 14, 2026 · Last updated Jul 15, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether the biologic drug depemokimab, given as a shot, can shrink nasal polyps in Japanese adults with chronic sinusitis and nasal polyps who have not been helped by standard treatments. Participants receive depemokimab without using steroid nasal sprays. The main goal is to see if the drug reduces polyp size by at least one point on an 8-point scale without needing surgery or other medications.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- an experimental biologic drug called depemokimab
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could offer a steroid-free treatment option for nasal polyps, reducing the need for surgery or oral steroids.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-phase study in Japanese patients only, so results may not apply broadly. The drug may not shrink polyps enough or could cause side effects.
