Sponsor: AstraZeneca
Conditions: CRSwNP or CRSsNP Patients
Interventions: Not applicable - NIS study
Countries: Greece
Given the high variability in the inflammatory profiles of CRSwNP (Chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps) patients that influence both disease phenotype and response to treatment, exploring further potential targets is crucial for advancing novel biologic treatment strategies. By indicating the efficacy of targeted therapy, as well as determining clinical features, endotyping of CRSwNP may offer a useful tool to better tailor treatment approaches in this heterogenous patient population. This study is the first national effort to collect data on inflammatory markers and burden of CRSwNP patients in Greece aiming at identifying disease endotypes based on patients' inflammatory profile.
