Active clinical trials for "Sinusitis"

The purpose of this study was to assess the safety and performance of the steroid-releasing S8 Sinus Implant when used in post-sinus surgery patients who presented with recurrent sinus obstruction.

Primary Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of dupilumab (SAR231893/REGN668) in the treatment of bilateral Nasal Polyposis (NP) by assessment of the endoscopic nasal polyp score (NPS) in comparison to placebo. Secondary Objectives: To evaluate effect of dupilumab with regards to: symptoms of sinusitis, sinus computed tomography (CT) scan, NPS in the sub-group of participants with co-morbid asthma, Safety and tolerability.

Justification: Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) is one of the most common inflammatory diseases with an incidence and prevalence superior to 10%. Unfortunately, more than 30% of patients do not respond to standard medical and surgical treatment, thus continuously increasing the symptomatologic and socio-economic burden of this disease. Hypothesis: The investigators believe that the addition of azithromycin (AZI) to the treatment regimen of patients with refractory CRS failing conventional medico-surgical treatment will be beneficial in a symptomatologic and endoscopic level. Primary objective: 1- To evaluate whether Azithromycine 250 mg PO three times weekly is effective in controlling signs and symptoms of CRS in high-risk patients unresponsive to standard management after endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS) with budesonide irrigations. Secondary objectives: i) Validate a simple and concise treatment algorithm for patients refractory to standard CRS treatment of ESS and BUDI, with the addition of low-dose AZI. ii) Characterise and define the population deemed "high-risk" for standard CRS treatment failure by evaluating: 1) demographics, 2) inflammatory states and 3) the nasal flora microbiome of patients at the different follow-up points of this study. iii) Explore the mechanisms of AZI by assessing the changes in inflammatory states and the nasal flora microbiome associated with successful AZI therapy. Methods: Inclusion of all patients admitted for endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS) for CRS operated by the same surgeon (MD). Following their first postoperative visit (2 weeks), all patients will receive nasal irrigations with budesonide (BUDI) twice daily for 4 months and will be re-evaluated. If there is a failure of treatment, patients eligible to receive AZI will be randomized in to two groups, AZI 250mg or a placebo three times a week for 4 months. At every follow-up, complete endoscopic exams will be performed, along with sinus cultures and brush cytology. Population: All patients deemed "high-risk" with CRS admitted for ESS between October 2014 and October 2015.

This study is a prospective comparison between absorbable hemostatic agents as a group and the body's natural hemostatic ability without aid of therapy in patients undergoing bilateral sinus surgery with or without septoplasty.

The purpose of this study is to determine the efficacy and safety of omalizumab compared with placebo in adult participants with chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) who have had an inadequate response to standard-of-care treatments. Study GA39855 (POLYP 2; NCT03280537) was another Phase III study by the Sponsor with identical objectives and design and was run in parallel with this study.

The goal of this research project is to explore the impact of the addition of budesonide to high-volume, low-pressure nasal sinus saline irrigation (aka "Neti-Pot"-type systems) for patients with chronic rhinosinusitis with or without nasal polyps.

This study will assess the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics and efficacy of two LYR-220 designs in symptomatic adult chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) subjects who have had a prior functional endoscopic sinus surgery.

The objective of this study is to show that long-term symptom improvement after sinus balloon dilation is not worse than symptom improvement after functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS) and that fewer postoperative debridements are required after balloon dilation than after FESS.

This study is designed to evaluate safety and effectiveness of a less invasive procedure to treat maxillary only, or maxillary and anterior ethmoid, chronic sinusitis. Additionally, this study will assess the feasibility of performing the procedure under local anesthesia.

Rhinosinusitis disorders are often associated with Cystic Fibrosis. They can restrict quality of life enormously and give cause to repeated ENT surgery. The basic defect in CF is a dysfunction of Chloride channels in exocrine glands, leading to retention of secretions and consecutive chronic inflammation with bacterial superinfections. The prospective placebo controlled cross-over study aims at the evaluation of the efficacy of a nasally inhalation of Pulmozyme with respect to mucus retention and resulting inflammation.
