RESUMEN
BACKGROUND: Impairment of smell is more commonly related to chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) than without, especially when asthma and/or NSAID-exacerbated respiratory disease and type 2 inflammation are also present. Therapeutic options include intranasal and systemic corticosteroids, surgery, and, more recently, biological therapy. We summarize current knowledge on the effect of biologics on olfaction in patients with CRSwNP. METHODS: We performed a systematic search of the PubMed and Cochrane databases from January 2001 to June 2022. The inclusion criteria were as follows: adult patients with CRS treated with dupilumab, omalizumab, mepolizumab, benralizumab, or reslizumab; and studies published in English reporting outcomes for sense of smell based on psychophysical and/or subjective tools. We excluded reports that did not assess CRSwNP, loss of smell evaluated with a method other than those accepted in the inclusion criteria, review articles, and expert opinions. No funding was received. RESULTS: Dupilumab has demonstrated rapid and sustained long-term improvement in smell in clinical trials and in real life. Omalizumab improves smell at 24 weeks. This improvement is maintained in the long-term, although it is not clinically relevant. Mepolizumab and benralizumab improved smell in the long term based on a subjective scale. No studies examining the improvement in smell in patients with CRSwNP treated with reslizumab were found. Indirect comparisons by meta-analysis consistently conclude that dupilumab is the most effective biologic for improving impaired sense of smell. CONCLUSION: Dupilumab seems to be more efficacious for improving the sense of smell than omalizumab, mepolizumab, and benralizumab.

Antecedentes: La pérdida de olfato de la rinosinusitis crónica se relaciona principalmente con el fenotipo que presenta poliposis nasal (RSCcPN), especialmente si asocia asma y/o EREA, e inflamación tipo 2. Los corticoides intranasales y sistémicos, la cirugía y, de forma más reciente, los fármacos biológicos, constituyen las principales estrategias terapéuticas. Este documento contiene una revisión sistemática del efecto de los fármacos biológicos en el olfato de pacientes con RSCcPN. Métodos: Se realizó una búsqueda sistemática en las bases de datos PubMed y Cochrane desde enero de 2001 hasta junio de 2022. Los criterios de inclusión fueron: pacientes adultos con RSC tratados con dupilumab, omalizumab, mepolizumab, benralizumab o reslizumab; estudios publicados en inglés, con datos sobre la mejoría del olfato utilizando test psicofísicos y/o subjetivos. Los criterios de exclusión fueron: publicaciones que no incluían pacientes con poliposis nasal, la pérdida del olfato evaluada con un método diferente de los criterios de inclusión mencionados, los artículos de revisión y la opinión de expertos. No se empleó ningún recurso de financiación. Resultados: Dupilumab ha demostrado una mejora del olfato rápida y mantenida a largo plazo en ensayos clínicos y en la práctica clínica habitual. Omalizumab mejora el olfato en la 24ª semana y lo mantiene a largo plazo, pero no alcanza una mejoría clínicamente relevante. Mepolizumab y benralizumab mejoran el olfato a largo plazo, evaluado mediante un test subjetivo. No se encontraron estudios respecto a la mejoría del olfato en pacientes con RSCcPN tratados con reslizumab. Las comparaciones indirectas mediante metaanálisis concluyen de forma consistente que dupilumab es el biológico más eficaz para mejorar el sentido del olfato. Conclusión: Dupilumab es el biológico más eficaz en la mejoría del olfato en RSCcPN, en comparación con omalizumab, mepolizumab y benralizumab. (AU)
