Biologic agents are emerging for chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyposis (CRSwNP) patients with recalcitrant disease. Although early work has shown promise, and several trials are ongoing, there is significant work to be done in this field. CRS patients form a heterogeneous group, and identification of appropriate patients for the use of biologic agents is critical. The determination of endotype-specific biomarkers will help define patient selection and predict treatment response. As more biologic agents become approved, head-to-head trials will be needed to compare them with similar products. Ultimately, cost-effectiveness analyses and further quality of life studies will guide treatment recommendations.
