SMELLS LIKE CRSwNP: CONTROLLING TYPE 2 INFLAMMATION AND IMPROVING SENSE OF SMELL IN CRSwNP
20 June 2023  |  12:50–14:20  EEST  Room: Hall 8

Program Description

Olfactory dysfunction is a prevalent symptom of severe CRSwNP that can significantly impair physical and psychological health. During this symposium, experts will discuss the mechanisms underlying olfactory dysfunction in severe CRSwNP and share evidence that dupilumab—a monoclonal antibody and dual inhibitor of IL-4 and IL-13 signaling—reduces symptom burden and improves key outcomes in patients with CRSwNP.  This expert panel will share their experiences, clinical data, and considerations to inform patient management and the important role of smell in treatment decisions.
