Target Audience

The educational design of this activity addresses the needs of ear, nose, and throat (ENT) specialists, as well as clinical immunologists/allergists and pulmonologists who manage patients with chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) or other chronic upper or lower inflammatory diseases (eg, allergic rhinitis, severe asthma).

Program Overview

Chronic inflammatory diseases of the upper and lower airways, including allergic rhinitis, CRSwNP, and asthma, have been tied to significant risks and burdens for affected patients. Although biologic therapies that target overactive cytokine signaling are available, newer therapies are emerging, with targets upstream in the pathogenic cascade to improve efficacy across both T2-high and T2-low profiles. Join us for this engaging Expert Roundtable™ to hear multidisciplinary insights related to pathophysiologic processes in chronic inflammatory airway diseases, the rationale and evidence behind new biologic therapies, and integrated therapeutic strategies to achieve global disease control.

Educational Objectives

After completing this activity, the participant should be better able to:

• Discuss pathophysiologic processes that contribute to chronic inflammation, hyper-responsiveness, and remodeling in the upper and lower airways, including the roles of thymic stromal lymphopoietin and implications for treatment
• Describe the clinical profiles and evidence for biologic therapies to address overactive cytokine signaling in patients with chronic inflammatory upper or lower airway diseases, including CRSwNP
• Tailor biologic-based therapeutic regimens for patients with CRSwNP, severe asthma, or allergic rhinitis to address pathophysiologic processes and overcome treatment-related barriers
