NCT ID NCT05049122
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This study tested the drug dupilumab in 25 adults with chronic sinusitis and nasal polyps that weren't helped by other treatments. Participants received injections for up to 52 weeks. The main goal was to see if polyp size decreased by at least 1 point on a standard scale after 24 weeks. The study also looked at safety and other measures of improvement.
