Chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) is one phenotype of CRS that is driven by type 2 inflammation and is particularly difficult to manage, especially when it occurs comorbidly with asthma, as is the case in up to 60% of patients with CRSwNP. However, biological agents that target type 2 inflammation and are already approved for other indications (eg, asthma, atopic dermatitis) have begun to emerge as available therapeutic options for CRSwNP. In this activity, Dr. Anju T. Peters shares her expertise in optimal clinical decision-making for patients with CRSwNP that is based on the latest evidence, best practice recommendations, and effective interdisciplinary collaboration. Upon completion of this activity, participants should be better able to: Identify patients with severe, inadequately controlled CRSwNP who would derive benefit from targeted biologic therapy; Assess patients with CRSwNP for comorbid conditions such as asthma and atopic dermatitis based on the relationship between CRSwNP and other type 2 inflammatory disorders; Employ a multidisciplinary approach to the treatment of patients with CRSwNP according to practice guidelines and the latest clinical evidence
