Summary

This Phase 2 trial is testing dupilumab (Dupixent) in 17 people with aspirin-exacerbated respiratory disease (AERD), a condition that includes asthma, nasal polyps, and severe reactions to aspirin. The study aims to see if the drug can reduce markers of inflammation and improve sense of smell over 8 weeks. It is designed to understand how the drug works rather than to prove it is a cure.
