Active clinical trials for "Sinusitis"

The purpose of this study is to learn more about the genetics of chronic sinusitis and identify genes involved in chronic sinusitis.

Patients with severe or difficult-to-treat asthma represent a small amount of total asthmatic patients, but weight on the national health system for the costs of disease management. Chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyposis, which the Italian severe/uncontrolled asthma registry reported with a prevalence of 30%, represents a comorbidity that significantly impact lung function and asthma control in severe asthma. Recent evidence indicates that there is a consistent heterogeneity regarding mucosal alterations present in subjects with nasal polyposis involving different pathways: inflammatory cells, remodeling, T cell activation, local IgE production, alteration induced by interactions between microorganisms and epithelial cells.

Primary Objective: - To describe the clinical characteristics of participants with chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) in terms of disease severity, Type 2 inflammation-related comorbidities (such as asthma and allergic rhinitis), other associated comorbidities, and treatments used in a real-world setting Secondary Objectives: Describe the progression in treatment outcomes at different visits (baseline, 3 months, 6 months, and 12 months). To assess the healthcare resource utilization of participants with CRSwNP in countries of the Gulf region (number of visits, emergency room (ER), surgery, etc).

The endoscope is a device placed into the nasal cavity to remove chronic sinus disease or tumor or create access into the skullbase for extensive tumor removal. Indocyanine Green (ICG) is a dye that is injected through an intravenous site and is used to light up vasculature and margins of a tumor during surgery. This helps avoid damage to important vasculature and obtain clear margins during surgery. This study aims to further assess the utility of ICG when operating within the nasal cavity or skullbase.

Verapamil is an L-type calcium channel blocker(CCB) which has been shown to reduce inflammation in a variety of tissues. Chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) is characterized by eosinophilic inflammation as well as P-gp overexpression. A previous trial of oral Verapamil showed preliminary efficacy for the treatment of CRSwNP. The goal of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of intranasal Verapamil in CRSwNP. The study was initially approved as a Phase Ib/II, but only the Phase Ib portion was completed as part of this protocol.

The purpose of this study is to compare how two different post-surgical treatments that both deliver steroids to the frontal sinus opening affect your healing after frontal sinus surgery.

This is a multi-center, double-blind, randomized, active controlled, parallel group phase 4 clinical trial to re-confirm the efficacy and safety of cefetamet pivoxil formulation in sinusitis patients

The study hypothesis is that the addition of an antidepressant to the standard treatment regimen in patients with both chronic sinusitis and depression or facial pain disorders and depression will decrease the report of chronic sinusitis or facial pain symptom severity. This is a stratified, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study using the drug escitalopram for the treatment of depression in patients experiencing depression and chronic sinusitis or depression and facial pain disorders. It is a 12-week study. Subjects will have a screening visit and then be followed up by phone weekly for four weeks and bi-weekly for 8 weeks.

The study is designed to evaluate if addition of the steroid to the spacer / stent will improve healing after endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS) compared to spacer without drug.

Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) is a common disorder with serious consequences that remains underrecognized, with >80% of OSA patients undiagnosed, and undertreated due to inadequate treatment options. The development of additional treatments for OSA, such as pharmacotherapy, are critically needed. The collaboration between Regeneron and Sanofi are funding this project. Regeneron will be providing the drug and the contract will be with Regeneron. Both companies are involved as it is a collaboration across the companies.
