About this study

Official title: Effects and Safety of Budesonide Inhalation Suspension Via Transnasal Nebulization in Eosinophilic Chronic Rhinosinusitis With Nasal Polyps

This randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial enrolled subjects with eosinophilic CRSwNP. Subjects were randomized to receive either budesonide inhalation suspension or placebo for 14 days. Visual analogue scales (VAS)of nasal symptoms, endoscopic polyp scores and morning serum cortical levels were assessed pre- and post-treatment. Polyp samples were evaluated for inflammatory cytokines, matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases (TIMPs) by immunoassay; collagen by histochemistry; and frequencies of different inflammatory T cell infiltration by flow cytometry. this study is undertaken to evaluate the efficacy of short-term prescription of budesonide inhalation suspension via transnasal nebulization by clinical and immunologic assessments. As outcome parameters for remodeling, differences in the expression of collagen and albumin were investigated before and after budesonide treatment. Meanwhile, TGF-β, MMPs and TIMPs expression differences in nasal polyps were investigated to explore underlying mechanisms of tissue reconstitution.

What participants receive

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

  • budesonideDrug

    Patients receive 1mg/2ml budesonide twice daily via transnasal nebulization for 14 days.

  • placeboOther

    patients receive placebo (saline solution) 2ml twice daily for 14 days.

What is being measured

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

  1. reduction of nasal polyp size

    endoscopic polyp scores are assessed pre- and post-treatment.

    Measured: from baseline to two weeks

  2. patients' assessment of symptoms improvement

    Four major symptoms, including nasal obstruction, discharge, loss of smell, headache/ facial pain, and TNSS were assessed by the patient pre- and post-treatment

    Measured: from baseline to two weeks

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. immunologic effect of budesonide transnasal nebulization in CRSwNP

    Polyp samples were evaluated for inflammatory cytokines, mediators and cellular infiltration pre- and post-treatment.

    Measured: from baseline to 2 weeks

  2. remodeling effect of budesonide transnasal nebulization in CRSwNP

    Albumin, collagen,TGF-beta, matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases (TIMPs) were measured in tissue homogenate at baseline and after 2-week treatment

    Measured: from baseline to 2 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2/3 study testing budesonide in people with Nasal Polyps, run by Beijing Tongren Hospital at 1 site in China.

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 4 inclusion and 4 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 10 Oct 2014. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in China. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

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 combined phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

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 is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

reduction of nasal polyp size (time frame: from baseline to two weeks). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 10 Oct 2014.
