Comparison of Methylprednisolone or Methotrexate in the Maintenance Treatment of Nasal Polyposis

ABSTRACT: Chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyposis (CRwNP) is an inflammatory disease of the nasal mucosa. It is presented with severe stuffiness, nasal discharge, facial pressure/pain, and sleep disorders. It leads to severe inconvenience to social life and the quality of life. The first step standard medical therapy consists of the topical intranasal or systemic corticosteroids. Surgery should be considered in the case of medical treatment failure. However, the recurrences are common after both surgery and medical therapies in severe disease and usually require revision surgeries or high dose corticosteroid regimens. On the contrary, either the revision surgeries or the high dose corticosteroid therapies are not capable of preventing the recurrences, treatment failures. Besides, revision surgeries usually lead to high complication rates and high dose corticosteroids usually cause severe adverse effects. The use of the short course topical intranasal corticosteroids after the surgery is generally advocated for these patients. However, the recurrence rates are still high. Hence a new and effective maintenance treatment algorithm with no severe adverse effects is required. The hypothesis of the clinical trial is an estimated symptom recovery and superiority in both efficacy and safety by the use of low-dose methylprednisolone or methotrexate as compared to the standard maintenance therapy in treatment-resistant CRwNP patients. Therefore, the results of the present study are believed to provide data on novel maintenance therapy and suggest an alternative to the topical intranasal corticosteroids or the high-risk revision surgery.

Efficacy and Safety Study of Benralizumab for Patients With Severe Nasal Polyposis

Project description:The aim of this present study is to investigate the use of benralizumab as treatment for severe nasal polyposis. The effect of benralizumab on nasal polyps will be assessed over a 56 weeks of treatment period in patients with severe bilateral nasal polyposis who are still symptomatic despite standard of care therapy, i.e current use of intranasal corticosteroids (INCS) and prior surgery and/or use of systemic corticosteroids. The first 200 patients that complete the 56-week treatment will have a 6 month follow-up (FU) period without dosing.

Nasal cavity epithelial cells exhibit antiviral transcriptional signatures upon activation of IFN-gamma producing antigen-specific T cells

Project description:To evaluate the differential impact of IFN-gamma secretion on nasal cavity epithelial cells, we compared the transcriptional profiles of nasal cavity epithelial cells (CD45-, CD3- CD11b-, CD31-, CD326+) from wildtype and IFN-gamma knockout mice at 30 days (d30) post intranasal infection with a live attenuated influenza virus expressing the immunodominant H-2Kd CD8 T cell epitope from Sendai virus nucleoprotein (LAIV-SenNP). Nasal cavity epithelial cells were also analyzed from LAIV-SenNP immunized wildtype and IFN-gamma knockout mice 3 days after intranasal administration of Sendai virus nucleoprotein peptide (d30+3). The results indicate that nasal cavity epithelial cells express genes associated with antigen presentation and antiviral function following antigen-specific T cell activation, and these alterations in transcriptional programming depend on IFN-gamma secretion.

Gene expression is differently affected by pimecrolimus and betamethasone in lesional skin of atopic dermatitis.

Project description:Topical corticosteroids and calcineurin inhibitors are well known treatments of atopic dermatitis (AD), but differ in their efficacy and side effects. A study in AD patients has demonstrated that betamethasone valerate (BM) though clinically more efficient impaired skin barrier repair in contrast to pimecrolimus. Objective: The present study elucidates the mode of action of topical BM and pimecrolimus cream in AD. Methods: These two components were subjected to gene expression profile analysis in lesional AD skin after topical treatment. Results: BM resulted in a significant reduction of mRNA levels of genes encoding for markers for dendritic cells, T cells, cytokines, chemokines and serine proteases, whereas pimecrolimus exerted minor effects only. This corroborates the clinical finding that BM reduces inflammation more effectively than pimecrolimus. Genes encoding molecules important for skin barrier function were differently affected. Both BM and pimecrolimus normalized the expression of filaggrin and loricrin. BM, but not pimecrolimus, significantly reduced the expression of rate-limiting enzymes for lipid synthesis and the expression of involucrin and small proline-rich proteins, which covalently bind ceramides. This may explain the lack of restoration of functional stratum corneum layers observed after BM treatment. Conclusion: The gene expression profiles are consistent with previous findings that corticosteroids may exert a more potent anti-inflammatory effect but may impair the restoration of the skin barrier. Hence, this study confirms the hypothesis at the molecular level that corticosteroids are a suitable treatment for acutely exacerbated AD, but that pimecrolimus is preferable for long-term treatment and stabilization.

A Study of Prophylactic Treatment for Hand-Foot Syndrome in Patients Treated With Oral Xeloda (Capecitabine).

Project description:This 3 arm study will compare the prophylactic effect of topical corticosteroids, Bepantol or placebo on hand-foot syndrome in patients receiving Xeloda for treatment of metastatic breast cancer, metastatic colorectal cancer or adjuvant treatment of colorectal cancer. Patients who have been receiving oral Xeloda for at least 5 days will be randomized to receive prophylactic treatment with either placebo, topical corticosteroids or Bepantol. The anticipated time on study treatment is until disease progression or development of hand-foot syndrome, and the target sample size is 500+ individuals.

The origins of IgA-secreting cells in the acinar structures of the nasal turbinates [RNA-seq]

Project description:Nasal vaccination elicits a humoral immune response that provides protection from airborne pathogens, yet the origins and specific immune niches of antigen-specific IgA-secreting cells in the upper airways remain unknown. Here, we define glandular acinus structures of the nasal turbinates as an immunological niche that recruits IgA-secreting plasma cells from the nasal-associated lymphoid tissues (NALT) in response to intranasal vaccination. Using intact organ imaging, we investigated the cellular events that support antibody-mediated immune responses in the mouse upper airways. Through visualization of antigen-specific T and B cells in the upperairways, we demonstrate that nasal vaccination induced extensive B cell expansion in the subepithelial dome (SED) of the NALT, followed by invasion into commensal bacteria-driven chronic germinal centers (GCs) in a T cell-dependent manner. Antigen-specific B cell response in the NALT required pre-expansion of cognate T cells, which initiate the immune response in the inter-follicular regions of the NALT, and occurred effectively in the presence of Monophosphoryl-Lipid A (MPLA), a synthetic, non-toxic TLR-4 agonist. NALT ablation and blockade of PSGL-1 demonstrated that intranasal vaccination generates IgA+ plasma cells that home to the nasal turbinates through the blood circulation where they are positioned primarily around glandular acinus structures. Thus, the glandular part of the nasal turbinate is an immunological niche that hosts NALT-derived IgA-secreting cells. These cellular events can be manipulated to design vaccines against inhaled pathogens or in the treatment of upper airway allergic responses.
