About this study

Official title: Comparison of Short and Long-term Results of Conventional Curettage Adenoidectomy Without Endoscopy Assistance Versus Curettage Adenoidectomy With Transoral Endoscopic Residue Ablation in Children

This prospective study is designed to compare short and long term results of conventional cold curettage adenoidectomy in children performed without doing any endoscopic or mirror examination before ending the operation versus when combined with transoral endoscopic residue ablation using a wand.

Read the detailed description

Residual or recurrent adenoid tissue that causes persistence or recurrence of symptoms is observed frequently after conventional cold curettage adenoidectomy. New techniques to better visualize or excise the tissue in order to prevent this situation are being developed. This study aims to compare transoral endoscopic controlled adenoidectomy with conventional blind curettage adenoidectomy in terms of recurrent adenoid hypertrophy. Although there are other studies comparing the results of the two techniques in terms of early residual adenoid tissue and bleeding, no studies comparing the long term results were found in literature. This prospective study is planned to focus on both early examination of residual tissue and long term recurrence.

What participants receive

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

  • Curettage adenoidectomy with transoral endoscopic ablationProcedure or surgery

    Transoral endoscopic examination of nasopharynx at the end of cold curettage adenoidectomy, and, if found, ablation of residual tissue.

  • Conventional cold curettage adenoidectomyProcedure or surgery

    Conventional cold curettage adenoidectomy without endoscopic examination for residual tissue.

What is being measured

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

  1. Residual adenoid tissue evaluation with Parikh grade

    Endoscopic examination of adenoid tissue postoperatively

    Measured: 1 year after surgery

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Bleeding

    The frequency of postoperative bleeding complication

    Measured: Up to 2 weeks after surgery

  2. Otitis media with effusion

    Persistency and recurrence of OME after adenoidectomy

    Measured: Up to 1 year after surgery

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Curettage adenoidectomy with transoral endoscopic ablation and Conventional cold curettage adenoidectomy in people with Adenoid Hypertrophy, run by Istanbul University at 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye).

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 6 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: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 9 Nov 2022. 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 Turkey (Türkiye). 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 withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

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?

Residual adenoid tissue evaluation with Parikh grade (time frame: 1 year after surgery). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT04302337, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 9 Nov 2022.
