About this study

Official title: The Effects of Steroid-eluting Stent Implant for the Treatment of Patients Undergoing Sinus Surgery for Eosinophilic Chronic Rhinosinusitis With Nasal Polyps

The treatment of eosinophilic sinusitis with nasal polyps is difficult and challenging. After endoscopic sinus surgery(ESS), complications such as edema, scar formation, adhesions, sinus stenosis and recurrence of polyps are prone to occur. Investigators aim to assess the efficacy and safety of Steroid-eluting stent when implanted in sinus in patients following ESS with eosinophilic sinusitis and nasal polyps.The randomized, double-blind, controlled clinical trial enrolled patients with eosinophilic sinusitis and nasal polyps. After endoscopic bilateral sinus surgery, the Steroid-eluting stents were randomly implanted in one side of the sinus and the other side as a control.

Primary outcomes are change in the Lund-Kennedy endoscopic score.The primary outcomes will be measured in baseline, week4,week 8 and week 12. Secondary outcomes include the changes in symptoms measured by Visual analog score and nasal patency (nasal airway resistance and nasal cavity volume), exhaled nasal nitric oxide. The investigators also evaluate change in inflammatory cytokines (interleukin(IL)-4, IL-5, IL-8, IL-17, IL-22, IL-25, interferon-γ, tumor necrosis factor-α, transforming growth factor-β, Leukotriene,Eotaxin) in nasal secretions. The secondary outcomes will be measured in baseline, week4, week8 and week12. Mucosal pathology assessment will be performed at 4 weeks postoperatively.Sinus CT scan will be conducted at 8 weeks after surgery. Changes in serum cortisol are monitored at baseline,week4 and week12 postoperatively. All adverse events are recorded throughout the experiment

What participants receive

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

  • Steroid-eluting stent implantProcedure or surgery

    After endoscopic bilateral sinus surgery, the Steroid-eluting stents were randomly implanted in one side of the sinus.

  • Without Steroid-eluting stent implantProcedure or surgery

    After endoscopic bilateral sinus surgery, the Steroid-eluting stents were randomly implanted in one side of the sinus. And the side without the stent is defined as the control side.

What is being measured

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

  1. The change in the Lund-Kennedy endoscopic score

    We used the Lund-Kennedy endoscopic scoring system to measure the patient's nasal cavity based on fi there were edema, vesicles, adhesions, scars and polyps.

    Measured: Baseline, week4,week 8 and week 12

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. The changes in nasal symptoms

    Nasal symptoms measured by Visual analog score. The four nasal symptoms (nasal obstruction, rhinorrhea, headache and olfactory disorder) involved in assigning the total nasal symptom score(TNSS). The symptoms are graded on a10-point scale (0 = no symptoms;10 = most severe symptoms).

    Measured: Baseline, week2, week4, week8, week12

  2. Nasal patency

    Acoustic rhinometry was performed to measure the total nasal cavity volume (cm³) and Rhinomanometer was used to measure the total nasal airway resistance (Pa·cm-³·s-1) .

    Measured: Baseline, week4, week8 and week12

  3. Exhaled nasal nitric oxide

    Measure exhaled nasal nitric oxide (nNO). Briefly, NO-free air was aspirated through the nasal cavity at a flow rate of 50 ml/s. The subject exhaled against the air-resistance, resulting in an intraoral pressure to close the velum and prevent mixture of oral and nasal gas. Nasal gas from this circuit was continuously routed in part directly into the analyser for determination of nNO, and the level of nNO(ppb) was calculated from a plateau lasting for at least 3s.

    Measured: Baseline, week4, week8 and week12

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Steroid-eluting stent implant and Without Steroid-eluting stent implant in people with Patients and Sinusitis, 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 6 inclusion and 7 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 18 Jun 2021. 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.

Are results available for this study?

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?

The change in the Lund-Kennedy endoscopic score (time frame: Baseline, week4,week 8 and week 12). 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 18 Jun 2021.
