About this study

Official title: Comparison of Outcomes After Peri-operative Optimization and Standard Surgical Treatment or Standard of Care Surgical Treatment in Patients Who Have Chronic Rhinosinusitis With Polyposis.

Chronic rhinosinusits (CRS) is common disease with reports of prevalence ranging from 4-16% in the western population. The main outcome measure for chronic disease treatment, such as CRS, is quality of life. Several large multi-institutional studies have shown that improvement in disease specific Quality of life was greater in patients who had surgery for their CRS with polyps. The timing of surgery in these patients has not been well studied but it is generally agreed upon that surgical candidates much had failed medical management. The definition of medical management varies greatly but usually includes some form of nasal or oral steroids and a prolonged ( >10 days) course of antibiotics.

Another known way to improve QOL is through education and individualized optimization. This has been utilized successfully in other fields with good success and improved QOL. Similar studies looking at combining non-surgical optimization and education have not been performed in CRS. This study aims to address this potential area for improvement in patient quality of life outcomes. Investigators plan to assess the potential role for pre-operative non-surgical medical and educational optimization in CRS standard of care treatment.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Medical optimization and education in people with Chronic Rhinosinusitis, Polyps, run by University of Miami at 1 site 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 1 inclusion and 1 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 8 May 2017. 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 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?

The study was stopped early (reason given: inability to promptly see local allergists as part of medical maximization which lead to delays in care for these patients). Results are not available in the source record.

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?

SNOT-22 (time frame: 4 months). 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 8 May 2017.
