Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 years and older
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • Patient is ≥ 18 years of age.
  • Patient is willing and able to comply with protocol requirements.
  • Patient has CS as confirmed by CT scan and defined as symptoms lasting longer than 8 consecutive weeks in duration with inflammation of the mucosa of the nose and paranasal sinuses.
  • Patient's condition and the planned intervention will involve at least two and a maximum of four peripheral sinuses (frontal or maxillary sinuses or combination of both).
  • Patient is a candidate for a planned intervention involving sinus surgery in the operating room or office setting.
  • Patient has nasal polyps no greater than grade 2.
Show all 15Show fewer
  • Patient with nasal polyps greater than 2 are eligible after their reduction/removal during ESS without significant complications that would confound the study results and leaving the patient's anatomy amenable to sinus implant placement, as judged by the operating physician.
  • Female patients of child-bearing potential must not be pregnant and must agree to not become pregnant during the course of the study.
  • Female patients of child-bearing potential must agree to use consistent and acceptable method/s of birth control during the course of the study.
  • CS diagnosis confirmed and documented by CT Scan within 6 months of the procedure.
  • Patient has a minimum total CT stage (Lund-Mackay method) of 6.
  • Patient has disease in frontal and/or maxillary sinuses confirmed by CT scan.
  • Planned ESS includes bilateral ethmoidectomy (if judged necessary), frontal sinus surgery using Draf II (A or B) dissection and/or balloon dilation, with minimum of 5-mm diameter opening created. In the case of maxillary sinus surgery, traditional antrostomy or balloon dilation, with or without removal of uncinate process, should be performed with minimum of 5-mm diameter opening created.
  • Technique used for frontal or maxillary sinus surgery was the same on both sides (e.g. surgical dissection alone bilaterally, balloon dilation alone bilaterally, or both bilaterally)
  • Septoplasty for access to the ostio-meatal complex is permitted.

Who cannot join

  • Patient has presence of grade 3 or 4 polyposis, unless removed during surgery and preceding implant placement.
  • Patient has presence of adhesions/scarring grades 3 or 4, unless removed during surgery and preceding implant placement.
  • Patient has known history of immune deficiency (e.g., IGG subclass deficiency or IGA deficiency, HIV).
  • Patient has concurrent condition requiring active chemotherapy and/or immunotherapy management for the disease (e.g., cancer, HIV, etc.).
  • Patient has oral-steroid dependent condition such as COPD, asthma or other condition.
  • Patient has known history of allergy or intolerance to corticosteroids or mometasone furoate.
Show all 16Show fewer
  • Patient has clinical evidence of acute bacterial sinusitis (e.g. acute increase in purulent discharge, fever, facial pain etc.).
  • Patient has clinical evidence or suspicion of invasive fungal sinusitis (e.g. bone erosion on prior CT scan, necrotic sinus tissue, etc.).
  • Patient has evidence of disease or condition expected to compromise survival or ability to complete follow-up assessments during the 90-day period.
  • Patient is currently participating in another clinical trial.
  • Patient has history of insulin dependent diabetes mellitus.
  • Patient has previously undergone ESS and experienced a CSF leak or has residual compromised vision as a result of a complication in a prior ESS procedure.
  • Patient has known dehiscence of the lamina papyracea.
  • Patient has evidence of active viral illness (e.g., tuberculosis, ocular herpes simplex, chickenpox or measles).
  • Significant complication during the current peripheral ostia surgery/such as excessive blood loss, CSF leak or punctured lamina papyracea.
  • Current surgical intervention (operating room or office setting) is aborted for any reason.

About this study

Official title: The EXCEED Study: A Clinical Evaluation of the Drug-Eluting Propel Nova Sinus Implant When Placed in Peripheral Sinus Ostia to Maintain Patency

This is a feasibility study is to assess the performance, safety and initial signals of efficacy of the drug-eluting Propel Nova Sinus Implant when used in chronic sinusitis patients undergoing sinus surgery of peripheral sinus ostia.

Read the detailed description

This is a prospective, single-center, single-arm, open label feasibility study aiming to enroll at least 10 patients and a maximum of 15 patients to achieve 30 treated sinuses. The objective of this feasibility study is to assess the performance, safety and initial signals of efficacy of the drug-eluting Propel Nova Sinus Implant when used in chronic sinusitis (CS) patients undergoing sinus surgery of peripheral sinus ostia.

What is being measured

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

  1. Device Placement Success Rate

    Defined as successful access to and placement of the Propel Nova Sinus Implant in the frontal or maxillary sinus ostium within two attempts. Calculated as a proportion where the numerator is the number of successful device placements and the denominator is the number of attempted sinuses.

    Measured: Baseline Procedure

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Ostial Patency

    Ostial patency grading scale from 0 (patent) to 1 (Occluded/Restenosed)

    Measured: Baseline, Day 30, Day 90

  2. Adhesion/Scarring Grade 2 & 3

    Adhesion/scarring grading scale from 0 (No visible granulation/scarring), 1 (Minimal amount of scarring/contraction observed but non-obstructing the frontal or maxillary sinus ostium), 2 (moderate amount of obstructive scar tissue/contraction present in the frontal or maxillary sinus ostium), 3 (Significant scar tissue/ contraction causing obstruction of the frontal or maxillary sinus ostium)

    Measured: Baseline, Day 30, Day 90

  3. Degree of Inflammation

    Inflammation visual analog scale (VAS) from 0 (no visible inflammation) to 100 (severe inflammation, involving significant and extensive erythema and edema and/or hypertrophy and/or polypoid changes)

    Measured: Baseline, Day 30, Day 90

  4. Sino-Nasal Outcome Test (SNOT) 22

    Validated, disease-specific, symptom-scoring instrument consisting of 22 questions, each scored by the patient on a scale of 0 (no problem) to 5 (problem as bad as it can be), resulting in a maximum total score of 110

    Measured: Baseline, Day 30, Day 90

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Propel Nova Sinus Implant in people with Chronic Sinusitis, run by Intersect ENT at 2 sites in United States.

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 15 inclusion and 16 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 4 Aug 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in United States. 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. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 4 Aug 2017). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Device Placement Success Rate (time frame: Baseline Procedure). 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 4 Aug 2017; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 7 Nov 2026.
