Trial summary

We propose to study the effects of Xolair on patients with chronic sinusitis with or without nasal polyps. Because of the similarities between the inflammatory processes found in asthmas and rhinitis to those found in chronic sinusitis, we hypothesize that sinusitis should respond to Xolair, just as asthma.

About this study

Official title: Effects of Anti-IgE Antibody Omalizumab (Xolair) on Patients With Chronic Sinusitis and a Positive Allergen Test

We propose to study the effects of Xolair on patients with chronic sinusitis with or without nasal polyps. Because of the similarities between the inflammatory processes found in asthmas and rhinitis to those found in chronic sinusitis, we hypothesize that sinusitis should respond to Xolair, just as asthma.

Read the detailed description

We propose to study the effects of Xolair on patients with chronic sinusitis with or without nasal polyps. Since Xolair has been shown to be effective in asthmatic subjects with evidence of atopy and elevated IgE, we will limit our study to patients with chronic sinusitis and these parameters. The primary objective is to determine if Xolair decreases mucosal thickness on CT scan after 6 months of treatment.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • PlaceboDrug

    Subjects with chronic sinusitis and evidence of atopy and an elevated total IgE (>30 and <700 IU/ml) will be randomized to receive placebo treatment for 6 months.

  • XolairDrug

    Subjects with chronic sinusitis and evidence of atopy and an elevated total IgE (>30 and <700 IU/ml) will be randomized to receive Xolair treatment for 6 months.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Subjects will have QOL measures (RSDI, SNOT 20, SF-36), NPIF, and nasal lavage repeated. Exacerbations of sinusitis requiring additional treatments will be recorded. Paranasal sinus CT scans will be obtained at the screening and final visits

    Measured: At entry and every 4 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Xolair in people with Chronic Sinusitis, run by University of California, San Francisco.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 7 inclusion and 6 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 5 Feb 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Subjects will have QOL measures (RSDI, SNOT 20, SF-36), NPIF, and nasal lavage repeated. Exacerbations of sinusitis requiring additional treatments will be recorded. Paranasal sinus CT scans will be obtained at the screening and final visits (time frame: At entry and every 4 weeks). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 5 Feb 2020.
