About this study

Official title: Rates of Middle Meatus (MM) Synechiae Formation Post Endoscopic Sinus Surgery (ESS)

The study is designed to evaluate if addition of the steroid to the spacer / stent will improve healing after endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS) compared to spacer without drug.

Read the detailed description

The study is designed to evaluate basic device usability and confirm safety and effectiveness of the Restora Steroid Eluting spacer compared to a Silastic spacer.

At the completion of their procedure, patients undergoing ESS will receive one steroid eluting spacer placed into the surgical site on one side, and one spacer without drug placed on the other side. Patients will return for standard post-op visits. Between post-op day 6 and 8, both spacers will be removed. Patients will again be seen on post-op day 35 and 90 to evaluate the surgical sites with respect to healing, scarring, infection, degree of inflammation, polyp formation, and the need for secondary intervention. Data from the two sides will be compared to determine if there is a benefit derived from the spacer with steroid vs the one without.

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of Participants With Incidence of Middle Meatal Synechiae Post Fess ( Functional Endoscopic Surgery )," as Accurate and Appropriate).

    Steroid eluting spacer will be measured by incidence of 35 and 90-day post Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery (FESS) incidence of middle meatal synechiae.

    Measured: 35 to 90days

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?

Number of Participants With Incidence of Middle Meatal Synechiae Post Fess ( Functional Endoscopic Surgery )," as Accurate and Appropriate). (time frame: 35 to 90days). 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?
