Nasal polyps trial tests stretching biologic doses
NCT ID NCT07187583
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether people with chronic nasal polyps who are stable on biologic drugs like dupilumab or mepolizumab can safely extend the time between doses from every 4 weeks to every 6 or 8 weeks. The goal is to see if symptom control can be maintained with fewer injections. 135 adults who have been on a steady dose for at least three months will participate.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- biologic drugs (dupilumab or mepolizumab)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could allow patients with chronic nasal polyps to take their medication less often while still controlling symptoms, reducing treatment burden and side effects.
- What could go wrong
- This is a Phase 4 trial with only 135 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. Some patients might lose disease control with longer dosing intervals, requiring a return to the original schedule.

Inclusion Criteria: * ≥18 years of age. * Currently receiving treatment with either dupilumab (300 mg) or mepolizumab (100 mg) every four weeks. * Having received the biologic at unchanged dosing interval for at least three months. * For at least one year during treatment with biologics, the patients' CRSwNP must be categorized as "partly controlled" as defined by presence of 1-2 of the following seven items (also available in EPOS 2020 table in protocol): 1. Nasal blockage: present on most days of the week 2. Rhinorrhoea/postnasal drip: mucopurulent on most days of the week 3. Facial pain/pressure: present on most days of the week 4. Sense of smell: impaired 5. Sleep disturbance or fatigue: present 6. Nasal endoscopy: diseased mucosa 7. Rescue treatment (systemic corticosteroids, ESS, antibiotics): need of 1 course of rescue treatment of which 1-5 will be scored by the patient using VAS (0-10) and noted above 5. Exclusion Criteria: * Patients with excellent response to biologics (0 of the above-mentioned 7 items for partly controlled disease) * Patients with no or limited response to biologics (\>2 of the above-mentioned 7 items for partly controlled disease) * Patients with a cancer diagnosis deemed by the investigator to preclude participation in the trial * Patients who, because of language barriers, are not able to understand Danish written information and, thus, are not able to answer questionnaires * Patients who currently receive biologics for any other disease (asthma not included) * Patients who are not able to give informed consent (i.e., patients who are permanently incapable) * Patients who are not eligible because of the investigator's judgement * Patients who experience pregnancy during the study will be excluded after an unscheduled visit - active IVF treatment (please see below) * Unwillingness to follow the study procedure
