Key Research Findings
A systematic review of 13 studies on the safety of biological therapies for chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) found that while these treatments can be effective, they also come with potential side effects. The review included 12 randomized controlled trials and one cross-sectional study, involving a total of 2282 patients. 1
Reasons for Side Effects
Biological therapies work by modulating the immune system, which can lead to side effects as a consequence of this modulation. 1
Common Side Effects
Headaches
Headaches were a common side effect reported in studies using dupilumab, omalizumab, and mepolizumab. 1
Injection Site Reactions
Injection site reactions were a common side effect reported in studies using omalizumab. 1
Pharyngitis
The most common side effect reported in the dupilumab trial was pharyngitis, affecting 22.4% of patients. 1
Epistaxis
Epistaxis was reported as a side effect in the dupilumab trial, affecting 5.1% of patients. 1
Asthma
Asthma was reported as a side effect in the dupilumab trial, affecting 1.7% of patients. In mepolizumab studies, asthma developed in 2.2% of patients. 1
Nasal Polyps/Congestion/Pharyngitis/Infections
Mepolizumab and reslizumab studies reported that 40% of patients experienced complications such as nasal polyps, congestion, pharyngitis, and infections. 1
Managing Side Effects
Headaches
If you experience headaches, consult your doctor. They may prescribe appropriate pain relievers. 1
Injection Site Reactions
If you experience injection site reactions, consult your doctor. Cold compresses and steroid creams can be helpful. 1
Pharyngitis
If you experience pharyngitis, consult your doctor. Gargle solutions and throat lozenges can be effective. 1
Epistaxis
If you experience epistaxis, consult your doctor. Measures to stop the nosebleed can be helpful. 1
Asthma
If you experience asthma, consult your doctor. Asthma medications will be prescribed. 1
Nasal Polyps/Congestion/Pharyngitis/Infections
If you experience nasal polyps, congestion, pharyngitis, or infections, consult your doctor. Appropriate treatment will be chosen. 1
Comparing Studies
Commonalities
Many studies found that biological therapies were effective in treating CRSwNP. 1
Differences
There were differences between studies in terms of the biological therapies used and the types and frequencies of side effects observed. 1
Real-Life Application Considerations
While biological therapies can be effective treatment options for CRSwNP, it's important to be aware of the potential side effects. 1
Current Research Limitations
There is still a lack of sufficient research on the long-term safety and efficacy of biological therapies. 1
Future Research Directions
Further research is needed on the long-term safety and efficacy of biological therapies. 1
Conclusion
Biological therapies can be promising treatment options for CRSwNP, but it's crucial to be aware of the potential side effects. Further research on the long-term safety and efficacy of these therapies is warranted. 1
