Active clinical trials for "Sinusitis"

The prevalence of chronic rhinosinusitis in China is about 8%, and some patients still suffer from recurrences after surgery and drug treatment. Monoclonal antibody is considered to be a new drug strategy that can significantly improve the control rate of such patients, but there is a lack of markers to guide the selection of monoclonal antibodies. The price of monoclonal antibody is expensive, which calls for screening markers for predicting the efficacy of monoclonal antibody and precisely implementing this treatment strategy. In addition, it can also improve the quality of life of patients and reduce the social and economic burden. Beijing Tongren Hospital, Capital Medical University recently completed a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, phase II clinical study which included multiple subcutaneous administration of CM310 recombinant humanized monoclonal antibody injection in patients with chronic sinusitis and nasal polyps to evaluate the efficacy and safety as well as the pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, immunogenicity and preliminary efficacy(NCT04805398). The therapeutic target of CM310 recombinant humanized monoclonal antibody injection is IL-4R. The unblinded data showed significant differences in the efficacy of the subjects and we started the investigator-initiate trial (IIT) study aiming at investigating the remaining samples of the project and carrying out a biomarker study to screen and predict the efficacy of IL-4R monoclonal antibody.

This study aims to investigate the effect of adding of integrated physiotherapy program to the conservative medical therapy on quality of life and pressure pain threshold (PPT) in chronic rhinosinusitis patients. Patients in this study will be randomly assigned into 2 groups. Group A (control group) will receive conservative medical treatment only which prescribed by Ear, Nose and Throat (ENT) specialist, while group B (experimental group) will receive the conservative medical treatment prescribed by ENT specialist in addition to physiotherapy program. Quality of Life (QoL) will be evaluated by Rhinosinusitis Disability Index (RSDI) and PPT will be evaluated by digital algometer at the baseline and immediately after the end of tenth session of treatment for both groups.

Chronic rhinosinusitis without polyposis (CRSsP) is a very common condition that occurs when the lining of the sinuses becomes persistently irritated. Standard management options include topical steroids, antibiotics and surgery, but treatment-resistant CRSsP is frequently encountered. Bacterial biofilms are routinely detected within the nasal mucosa of CRSsP patients and are now thought to play an important role in the protracted nature of the disease. Colloidal silver is a widely used naturopathic agent that has recently been shown to eliminate bacteria, and in particular in vitro sinusitis biofilms, in laboratory studies. Although silver is currently used in a variety of chronic wound therapies, it has not yet been formally studied in people with CRSsP. It is our intention with this project to determine whether colloidal silver is a useful treatment strategy for patients with refractory CRS.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics of PF-06817024 in healthy volunteers, in participants with chronic rhinosinusitis, with nasal polyps and in participants with moderate-to-severe Atopic Dermatitis

objectives. To compare the efficacy and the safety of mometasone furoate nasal spray (MFNS; Nasonex 200μg, daily) alone versus a combination with montelukast (singulair 10mg, daily) in chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) with asthma after functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS) for improvement the clinical control of CRS the clinical hypotheses. The investigators hypothesize that postoperative combined montelukast and MFNS can better improve clinical control of CRS concomitant with asthma after FESS compared with MFNS alone. study design This study is a 9-month randomized, open-label, controlled interventional study.

The purpose of this study is to compare intranasal fluticasone spray with budesonide nasal saline rinses in both the upright and head forward positions in patients who have had functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS) for chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyposis (CRSwNP) and measure differences in Sinonasal Outcome Test-22 (SNOT-22) scores and Lund- Kennedy scores on rigid nasal endoscopy at time points 1 week, 3 weeks, 6 weeks, 2 months, 4 months, and 6 months post-op.

Intranasal corticosteroids are beneficial in the treatment of acute rhinosinusitis. As adjunctive therapy to oral antibiotic treatment, mometasone furoate at doses of 200 μg or 400 μg twice daily, was well tolerated and significantly more effective in reducing the symptoms of rhinosinusitis than antibiotic therapy alone. Furthermore,the addition of fluticasone propionate to xylometazoline and antimicrobial therapy with cefuroxime improved clinical success rates and accelerated recovery of patients with a history of chronic rhinitis or recurrent sinusitis who present for treatment of acute rhinosinusitis. The present study was planned to assess the effects of nebulised beclomethasone dipropionate given as add-on therapy to standard care (oral antibiotics) in the treatment of acute symptomatic rhinosinusitis. Antibiotic therapy will be at the physicians' discretion.

The purpose of this trial is to determine whether 2 different dosages of a herbal extract (240 and 480 mg/day) are more effective than placebo in the treatment of patients with chronic rhinosinusitis (average reduction of investigator's Major Symptom Score over Visit 5 and Visit 6.

The place of systemic corticosteroids in the treatment of children with chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) remains unclear. We aimed to assess the effectiveness and tolerability of oral methylprednisolone (MP) as an anti-inflammatory adjunct in the treatment of CRS in children.Forty-eight children (age 6-17 years) with clinically and radiologically proven CRS were included. Patients were randomly assigned to either oral amoxicillin/clavulanate (AMX/C) and MP or AMX/C and placebo (P) twice daily for 30 days. Oral MP was administered for the first 15 days with a tapering schedule. Primary parameters were mean change in symptom and sinus computed tomography (CT) scan scores after treatment. Secondary study parameters were mean changes in individual symptom scores after treatment, relapse rate and tolerability. Forty-five patients completed the study, 22 received AMX/C and MP, and 23 AMX/C and P. Both groups demonstrated significant improvements in symptom and sinus CT scores, comparing baseline to end of the treatment (p<0.001). Methylprednisolone as an adjunct was significantly more effective than placebo in reducing CT scores (p=0.004), total rhinosinusitis symptoms (p=0.001) and individual symptoms of nasal obstruction (p=0.001), postnasal discharge (p=0.007), and cough (p=0.009). At the end of the treatment, 48% of the children in the P group still had abnormal findings in CT versus 14% in the MP group (p = 0.013). Therapy-related adverse events were not different between groups. Although insignificant, the incidence of clinical relapses was also less in the MP group (25%) compared to P group (43%) (p = 0.137). Oral MP is well tolerated and provides added benefit to treatment with antibiotics for children with CRS.

Rhinosinusitis disorders are almost regularly associated to Cystic Fibrosis (CF). The basic defect in CF is a dysfunction of chloride channels in exocrine glands which equally concerns upper airway mucosa. It leads to retention of secretions and consecutive chronic inflammation with bacterial superinfection. In CF rhinosinusitis can restrict quality of life, give cause to repeated ear, nose, and throat (ENT) surgery and accelerate disease progression by bacterial acquisition into the airways. The multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, prospective clinical trial aims at the evaluation of a sino-nasal inhalation of sodium chloride 6% compared to isotonic saline with respect to ENT-related quality of life which is influenced by mucus retention and the resulting inflammation.
