According to the results reported on ClinicalTrials.gov, this trial enrolled 30 people in total, split evenly across three groups of 10: people with a condition called Aspirin-exacerbated Respiratory Disease (AERD, where aspirin triggers breathing or nasal symptoms), people with nasal polyps who can tolerate aspirin (called aspirin-tolerant chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps), and healthy volunteers. All 30 participants completed the study with no drop-outs. The trial was not testing a treatment — instead, it was focused on whether researchers could successfully collect and analyse biological samples (specifically, certain immune cells called plasma cells) from nasal polyp tissue, and study particular biological signals within those cells and the lining of the nose. The reported data shows that for the primary goal — obtaining a usable genetic activity profile (a "transcriptome," meaning a snapshot of which genes are active) from nasal polyp plasma cells — all 10 participants in each of the three groups provided samples that could be successfully analysed, giving 10 out of 10 in every group. For the two secondary goals, the reported data shows the same result: all 10 participants in each group provided samples from which researchers could measure a specific protein marker on plasma cells (called IL-5Ra), and separately, all 10 in each group provided nasal tissue samples from which a related biological signalling process in the cells lining the nose could be analysed. The reported data therefore shows that the trial achieved its stated aim of obtaining analysable samples from all 30 participants across all three groups and all three measurement goals. The trial was designed to assess whether this type of laboratory analysis was possible, not to test whether any treatment produced a particular health outcome — so no treatment results were reported.

"Who might be able to join this trial:
- People who have a condition called AERD (Aspirin-Exacerbated Respiratory Disease, which involves sensitivity to aspirin and related medicines along with nasal polyps and asthma)
- People who have chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (a long-term sinus condition where small growths form inside the nose)
- Healthy individuals with no relevant conditions (likely needed for comparison purposes — confirm with trial site)
Who may not be able to join:
- People who are currently taking steroid tablets or injections (systemic steroids) at the time of their surgery
- People who are currently taking biologic medicines (specialist injectable or infused treatments) for breathing or respiratory conditions at the time of their surgery
