This prospective observational study investigates the long-term effects of Dupilumab in patients with NSAID-exacerbated respiratory disease (N-ERD). The study assesses changes in ASA tolerance, clinical parameters, inflammatory biomarkers, quality of life, and nasal microbiome during ongoing treatment with Dupilumab. All participants are receiving Dupilumab as part of standard clinical care.
Study Type
OBSERVATIONAL
Enrollment
30
Patients undergoing Dupilumab treatment for N-ERD will be observed after three to four years of treatment to assess long term changes in ASA tolerance, clinical parameters, inflammatory biomarkers, quality of life, and nasal microbiome during ongoing treatment with Dupilumab. All participants are receiving Dupilumab as part of standard clinical care.

Change in ASA tolerance
Change in aspirin tolerance assessed via oral provocation test with standardized protocol
Time frame: Historical (pre-treatment and 6 months) vs. current data (after ≥3 years of treatment)
Change in Sino-Nasal Outcome Test 22 (SNOT-22) score compared to early response
Sinonasal symptoms assessed with SNOT-22 questionnaire at long-term follow-up, higher score means higher limitation by disease.
Time frame: Historical (pre-treatment and 6 months) vs. current data (after ≥3 years of treatment)
Change in European Quality of Life 5 Dimensions 3 Level Version (EQ-5D-3L) score compared to early response
General quality of life at long-term follow-up, higher score means good QoL.
Time frame: Historical baseline and 6-month vs. current score (≥3 years post-treatment)
Change in Asthma Control Questionnaire (ACQ-5) score
Asthma control evaluated via ACQ-5, high score means high disease burden.
Time frame: Historical baseline and 6-month vs. current score (≥3 years post-treatment)
Change in peripheral eosinophil count
Long-term effect of Dupilumab on peripheral eosinophils
Time frame: Historical baseline and 6-month vs. current score (≥3 years post-treatment)
Nasal microbiome composition at long-term follow-up
Microbial composition from nasal swabs assessed via sequencing
Time frame: Historical baseline and 6-month vs. current score (≥3 years post-treatment)
