Abstract
INTRODUCTION Type 2 targeting biologics have reached the market first for asthma and since 2019 also for CRSwNP. As clear guidelines and predictors for optimal biological choice are missing, patients are sometimes required to switch biologic therapy in order to find the optimal treatment result. In this paper, we evaluate reasons for switching biologics and the treatment effects after each sequential switch. MATERIALS AND METHODS Ninety-four patients who switched from one biologic to another for their treatment of CRSwNP and asthma were evaluated. RESULTS Twenty patients experienced satisfactory control of CRSwNP, but insufficient control of severe asthma. Fifty-one patients experienced satisfactory control of severe asthma, but insufficient control of CRSwNP/EOM. Twenty-eight patients experienced insufficient control of both upper and lower airways. Thirteen patients had to switch because of side effects. Furthermore, two cases are described to clarify clinical decision-making. DISCUSSION For abovementioned patients, a multidisciplinary approach is mandatory to find the best suitable biologic. It seems ineffective to switch to a second anti-IL5 treatment if the first one is not successful. Most patients that failed omalizumab and/or an anti-IL-5 treatment are well controlled on dupilumab. Therefore, we suggest to use dupilumab as first choice when switching biologic agents.

Abstract
Allergic rhinitis is an IgE-mediated, type‑2 inflammatory disease. neuropeptides are released by neurons and interact with immune cells. Via colocalization, neuroimmune cell units such as nerve-mast cell units, nerve-type 2 innate lymphoid cell (ILC2) units, nerve-eosinophil units, and nerve-basophil units are formed. Markedly elevated tryptase levels were found in nasal lavage fluid and were strongly associated with neuropeptide levels. A close anatomical connection allows bidirectional communication between immune and neuronal cells. Transient receptor potential vanilloid 1 (TRPV1) and transient receptor potential ankyrin repeat 1 (TRPA1) are critically involved in immunological reactions in the setting of allergic rhinitis. Neuroimmunological communication plays an important role in the inflammatory process, so that allergic rhinitis can no longer be considered a purely immunological disease, but rather a combined neuroimmunological disease.

Abstract
Allergic rhinitis (AR) is a very common disease with a high prevalence worldwide. It is an IgE-mediated type 2 inflammatory disease following exposure to inhalant allergens. A multitude of different neuropeptides including substance P, vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP), calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP), nerve growth factor (NGF), and neuromedin U (NMU) can be released via peripheral axon or central reflexes, interact with immune cells, and thus contribute to neurogenic inflammation which causes the nasal hyperreactivity (NHR) characteristic of AR. Independent production of neuroendocrine hormones and neuropeptides by immune cells has also been demonstrated. Neuro-immune cell units arise when immune and neuronal cells colocalize, for which typical anatomic regions are, e.g., the mast cell-nerve functional unit. The focus of this review is the elucidation of neuroimmune communication mechanisms in AR.
