The primary objectives of the study are:
- To longitudinally characterize the long-term effectiveness of DUPIXENT® through assessment of patient-reported symptoms, Health-Related Quality of Life (HRQoL) related to Chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyposis (CRSwNP) and other type 2 comorbidities, and their change over-time.
- To characterize patients who receive DUPIXENT® for CRSwNP in a real-world setting with respect to their medical history, demographic and disease characteristics, and type 2 comorbidities
The secondary objectives of the study are:
- To characterize real-world utilization of DUPIXENT® for patients with CRSwNP
- To collect patient and physician global assessment of disease severity and treatment satisfaction for patients receiving DUPIXENT® for CRSwNP
- To collect long-term safety data for patients receiving DUPIXENT® for CRSwNP

- Drug: DUPIXENT®
No investigational agents will be provided. All treatments will be prescribed at the discretion of the study physician and other healthcare providers.Other Names:
- dupilumab
- REGN668
- SAR231893
- Baseline Patient Characteristics [ Time Frame: Baseline up to 3 years ]Demographics includes but is not limited to gender, age, ethnicity, height, weight, BMI, education, current employment status, physician information.
- Baseline Disease Characteristics [ Time Frame: Baseline up to 3 years ]Medical History includes but is not limited to history of CRSwNP, comorbid conditions, age at CRSwNP diagnosis, and baseline measurements of effectiveness variables.
- DUPIXENT® Treatment Characteristics [ Time Frame: Baseline up to 3 years ]Including but not limited to: usage, dosage, adherence, interruption, place (home or clinic) and frequency of administration
- CRSwNP Treatment Characteristics [ Time Frame: Baseline up to 3 years ]Including but not limited to: usage, dosage, adherence, duration and frequency
- Incidence and severity of adverse events (AEs) [ Time Frame: Baseline up to 3 years ]
- Participant Assessment: Total symptom score (TSS), including sub-scores (nasal congestion [NC] and loss of smell [LOS]) [ Time Frame: Baseline up to 3 years ]The TSS is a composite score (ranging between 0 and 9) and consisting of the sum of the following symptoms assessed daily: nasal congestion/obstruction, decreased/loss of sense of smell, rhinorrhea (average of anterior/posterior nasal discharge). Higher scores indicate greater symptom burden.
- Physician Assessment: Change in University of Pennsylvania Smell Identification Test (UPSIT) score [ Time Frame: Baseline up to 3 years ]The UPSIT (UPSIT 40-odorant test) is a rapid and easy-to-administer method to quantitatively assess human olfactory function.
- Physician Assessment: CT-Lund-Mackay Score [ Time Frame: Baseline up to 3 years ]
The LMK system is scoring based on CT imaging of the sinuses with points given for degree of opacification:
0 = no opacification, 1 = partial opacification, 2 = total opacification. These points are then applied to the maxillary, anterior ethmoid, posterior ethmoid, sphenoid, frontal sinus on each side. The ostiomeatal complex is graded as 0 = not occluded, or 2 = occluded. The sum of these derives a maximum score of 12 per side and 24 in total.
- Physician Assessment: Nasal Peak Inspiratory Flow (PNIF) [ Time Frame: Baseline up to 3 years ]Nasal peak inspiratory flow (NPIF) is a measure of the air flow through both nasal cavities during forced inspiration expressed in liters per minute.
- Physician Assessment: - Forced Expiratory Volume in 1 second (FEV1) [ Time Frame: Baseline up to 3 years ]Forced Expiratory Volume in 1 second (FEV1) is the amount of air which can be forcibly exhaled in the first second of a forced exhalation
- Physician Assessment: Fractional exhaled Nitric Oxide (FeNO) [ Time Frame: Baseline up to 3 Years ]FeNO (Fractional exhaled Nitric Oxiide) is analyzed using a respiratory flow rate of 50 mL/second and reported in ppb.
- Participant Assessment: Asthma Control Questionnaire, 6-item (ACQ-6) [ Time Frame: Baseline up to 3 Years ]The ACQ-6 assesses asthma control with scores ranging from 0 (fully controlled; 6=severely uncontrolled).
- Participant Assessment: Mini Asthma Quality of Life Questionnaire (MiniAQLQ) [ Time Frame: Baseline up to 3 Years ]The MiniAQLQ is assesses the impact of asthma on health-related quality of life with scores ranging from 1 (maximum impairment) to 7 (no impairment).
- Participant Assessment: Allergic Rhinitis (AR) using AR Visual Analog Scale (VAS) [ Time Frame: Baseline up to 3 Years ]The AR-VAS assesses severity of rhinosinusitis symptoms on a 0 (not troublesome) to 10 (worst thinkable troublesome) scale.
- Participant Assessment: Mini Rhinoconjunctivitis Quality of Life Questionnaire (MiniRQLQ) [ Time Frame: Baseline up to 3 Years ]The MiniRQLQ is an abbreviated version of the RQLQ(S)+12 which assesses health-related quality of life associated with perennial or seasonal allergic rhinitis with scores ranging from 0 (not troubled) to 6 (extremely troubled).
- Participant Assessment: Sino-Nasal Outcome Test (SNOT-22) [ Time Frame: Baseline up to 3 Years ]The SNOT-22 assesses the impact of chronic rhinosinusitis on health-related quality of life with scores ranging from 0 to 110; lower scores representing better health related quality of life.
- Participant Assessment: Patient Oriented Eczema Measure (POEM) [ Time Frame: Baseline up to 3 Years ]The POEM assesses symptoms of dryness, itching, flaking, cracking, sleep loss, bleeding, and weeping with scores ranging from 0 to 28; higher scores indicate greater symptom burden.
- Participant Assessment: Work Productivity and Activity Impairment Questionnaire for asthma (WPAI-CRSwNP) [ Time Frame: Baseline up to 3 Years ]The WPAI-CRSwNP measures impairments in work and activities associated with CRSwNP. Scores are expressed as impairment percentages, with higher numbers indicating greater impairment and less productivity.
- Physician Assessment: Changes of Healthcare Utilization [ Time Frame: Baseline up to 3 years ]Resource use collected from medical, hospital, and pharmacy records
- Participant Assessment: Short Form 12 [ Time Frame: Baseline up to 3 years ]The SF-12 assesses physical functioning, social functioning, role limitations due to physical problems, role limitations due to emotional problems, mental health, energy/vitality, pain, and general health perception with scores ranging from 0 to 100; lower scores represent greater quality of life impairment.
- Participant Assessment: European Quality of Life 5-Dimensions, 5-Level Questionnaire (EQ-5D-5L) [ Time Frame: Baseline up to 3 years ]The EQ 5D-5L descriptive system comprises 5 dimensions: mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort and anxiety/depression and the EQ-VAS records the respondent's self rated health on a scale of 0 (worst imaginable health state) to 100 (best imaginable health state).
- Participant Assessment: Global Impression for Symptom Severity, Treatment Satisfaction (Global Patient Assessment) [ Time Frame: Baseline up to 3 years ]The Global Patient Assessment is a 2-component questionnaire on symptom severity over the past week and the patient's overall satisfaction with their CRSwNP treatment.
- Physician Assessment: Global Impression for Disease Severity (Global Physician Assessment) [ Time Frame: Baseline up to 3 years ]The Global Physician Assessment is a 1-item question asking physicians to rate the severity of their patient's CRSwNP.
