Accepts Healthy Volunteers
No

Inclusion Criteria

  • Participant 18 years of age or older
  • Patients with a diagnosis of CRS with polyposis according to the criteria of the EPOS2020 guideline: Chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps in adults is defined as presence of two or more symptoms, one of which should be either nasal blockage / obstruction / congestion or nasal discharge (anterior / posterior nasal drip); ± facial pain/pressure; ± reduction or loss of smell; for ≥12 weeks; and either endoscopic signs of nasal polyps, and/or CT changes: mucosal changes within the ostiomeatal complex and/or sinuses.
  • Patients with indication for biologic treatment according to the criteria of the EPOS2020 guideline.
  • Presence of bilateral polyps in a patient who had ESS (except in cases where the patient is not fit for surgery, see bellow) and three of the following criteria are required: 3.
  • Evidence of type 2 inflammation (tissue eos> 10/hpf* or blood eos>250, OR total IgE> 100). * Whenever possible histology from previous surgery should be reviewed to confirm if eosinophilic pathology. If the previous surgery was performed more than 2 years earlier, a blood eosinophil count is essential, as the previous biopsy data may not be relevant. 3.
  • Need for systemic corticosteroids or contraindication to systemic steroids (≥ 2 courses per yr, OR long term (>3 months) 3.
  • Significantly impaired quality of life (SNOT ≥ 40) 3.
  • Significant loss of smell (≥7 VAS) 3.
  • Diagnosis of comorbid asthma
  • Basal eosinophil count (BEC) ≥300 cells/µL for surgical naïve patients- only those not fit for surgery (major criteria) or for those who have had surgery and have recurrence (minor criteria).

Exclusion Criteria

  • Any serious or uncontrolled systemic or psychiatric illness that prevents a correct cognitive or endoscopic assessment or does not advise participation in the study.
  • Unilateral localized secondary CRS (odontogenic, fungal ball, tumor)
  • Bilateral diffuse secondary CRS (cystic fibrosis; eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis-S. de Churg-Strauss-; granulomatosis with polyangiitis-S de Wegener-; primary ciliary dyskinesia; selective immunodeficiencies.
  • Pregnancy/ breast feeding.
  • Hypersensitivity to mepolizumab or it’s excipients.
  • Patients unable to complete the questionnaire or follow prescribed treatment.
  • Patients who are participating in another clinical trial related to polyposis or asthma.
  • Previously documented failure with IL-5/IL-5 receptor biologics

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

SINO-NASAL OUTCOME TEST (SNOT-22)

SINO-NASAL OUTCOME TEST (SNOT-22)

Secondary Outcomes

  • Need of rescue therapy with systemic corticosteroids: dose, route of administration, length of treatment, number of treatments.
  • Need of rescue surgery (either in-office polypectomy or full endoscopic sinus surgery)
  • The resected polyp in the polypectomy groups will be sent for histology to confirm that it is eosinophilic and to obtain evidence of type 2 inflammation (tissue eos> 10/hpf)
  • The safety of the treatment will be assessed by collecting Adverse Events at each of the study visits.
  • VAS score for nasal symptoms
  • The following measurement will be assessed using a nasopharyngoscope: 1. CRSwNP: Lund-Kennedy scale 2. CRSwNP: Meltzer scale
