Statement of Need

Chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyposis (CRSwNP) is a chronic inflammatory disease characterized by rhinosinusitis and the development of polyposis originating in the sinus and eventually extending to the nose. Persistent symptoms include congestion, stuffiness, nasal discharge, facial pain and/or pressure, impairment, or loss of sense of smell, and fatigue. CRSwNP confers a substantial but often underappreciated burden, negatively impacting mental and physical health-related quality of life (HRQoL) endpoints. It is critical that health care professionals (HCPs) understand the burden of CRSwNP, the limitations of traditional therapy, and the potential benefits of biologic therapy on CRSwNP outcomes.

This live Q&A session is your opportunity to ask questions based on the CMEO Snack series that focused on recognizing the burden and impact of CRSwNP, translating the most recent guideline recommendations, and applying up to date safety and efficacy data to make the best treatment decisions for patients.

Learning Objectives

At the end of this CE activity, participants should be able to:

• Recognize the burden of CRSwNP and the impact of this disease on patients' HRQoL and treatment response.
• Translate updated guideline recommendations to treatment decisions for the management of uncontrolled CRSwNP.
• Apply efficacy and safety data to treatment decisions for patients with CRSwNP.

Financial Support

This activity is supported by an independent medical education grant from Regeneron Pharmaceuticals, Inc. and Sanofi Genzyme.

Target Audience

Physicians, PAs, nurse practitioners, nurses, and pharmacists specializing in allergy/immunology, and otolaryngology practicing globally
