- The Health Canada has approved a new indication as an add-on maintenance treatment with intranasal corticosteroids in patients with CRSwNP- inadequately controlled by systemic corticosteroids or surgery
- The approval is based on P-III studies (24wks. SINUS-24 and 52wks. SINUS-52) assessing Dupixent (300mg- q2w) + SOC intranasal corticosteroids vs PBO + intranasal corticosteroids. The studies demonstrated improvement in its 1EPs and 2EPs @24wks.
