Abstract

[Introduction] We thank Dr. S. N. Katkuri, Dr. H. Liu, and their coauthors [1, 2] for their interest in our recent publication describing the improvements in loss of smell symptoms with tezepelumab versus placebo in patients with uncontrolled chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) in the WAYPOINT trial (NCT04851964) [3]. We are grateful for the authors' feedback on the clinical significance of the data presented and their appreciation of the consistency observed across a range of baseline clinical characteristic and demographic subgroups.
