Investigators from Brigham and Women's Hospital Report New Data on Respiratory Tract Diseases and Conditions (Dupilumab Rapidly Improves Eustachian Tube Dysfunction and Otologic Symptoms In Aspirin-exacerbated Respiratory Disease).

Researchers from Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston, Massachusetts, conducted a study on patients with aspirin-exacerbated respiratory disease (AERD) who frequently experience symptoms of eustachian tube dysfunction (ETD). The study found that treatment with dupilumab significantly improved ETD and otologic symptoms in AERD patients within one month of initiating the therapy, as evidenced by changes in the SNOT-22 ear/facial subdomain score. The research suggests that considering the presence of ETD and otologic symptoms is crucial when determining the optimal therapeutic course for patients with AERD. [Extracted from the article]
