Trial summary

Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) is a frequent complication of facial cancer treatment, mainly related to radiotherapy. However, while radiological involvement is frequent, clinical expression seems less important. Read more about this study

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 Up to 18 years
  • All sexes
  • Child, Adult

Study population: The study population (called exposed) concerns all patients under 18 years of age managed for a head neck mesenchymal cancer between January 1, 2018 and December 31, 2024 in the pediatric surgery department of the Lille University Hospital. The control population (called non-exposed) included children treated during the same period for a non-head neck mesenchymal malignant cancer

Who may be able to join

  • Study population: all patients under 18 years of age managed for a head neck mesenchymal cancer between January 1, 2018 and December 31, 2024
  • Control population: all patient under 1 years of age managed for non -head neck mesenchymal cancer between January 1, 2018 and December 31, 2024

Who cannot join

  • Patients with hematological tumors;
  • Patients with mucociliary pathologies or proven allergic rhinitis before the diagnosis of cancer
  • Patients who have required surgical treatment that has removed more than half of the sinus cavities
  • Tumor recurrence at the time of inclusion
  • Sinus surgery between the last radiological check-up and inclusion
  • Administrative reasons: inability to receive informed information.

About this study

Official title: Evaluation of Chronic Rhinosinusitis in Children Managed for Cervicofacial Mesenchymal Malignancy

Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) is a frequent complication of facial cancer treatment, mainly related to radiotherapy. However, while radiological involvement is frequent, clinical expression seems less important.

Few studies have investigated the incidence of this condition in the pediatric population while its evolution seems to be very chronic even if a partial improvement may occur with time.

Read more

Our objective is therefore to study the impact of CSR in children treated for cancer of the cervicofacial region, to evaluate its incidence and medium-term evolution in order to determine whether it is necessary to set up a specific follow-up in these patients.

The clinical impact of CSR is assessed by a specific SNOT 22 questionnaire in children treated for a head-neck mesenchymal malignancy in comparison with a control population consisting of children treated for a mesenchymal malignancy of non-head-neck location.

What is being measured

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

  1. Impact of CRS in pediatric patients by Sino-Nasal Outcome Test-22 (SNOT 22)

    Measured: >1 year to <4 years after the end of oncologic treatment

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Incidence of CRS in pediatric patients after head neck mesenchymal cancer management

    Measured: 1 year after the end of the oncologic treatment

  2. Correlation between SNOT 22 and clinical assessment by PADORES score

    Measured: >1 year to <4 years after the end of oncologic treatment

  3. Correlation between SNOT 22 and clinical assessment by lund-kennedy score

    Measured: >1 year to <4 years after the end of oncologic treatment

  4. Correlation between SNOT 22 and radiological assessment by Lund-Mackay score

    Measured: >1 year to <4 years after the end of oncologic treatment

  5. Radiological evolution of CRS by Lund-Mackay score

    Measured: >1 year to <4 years after the end of oncologic treatment

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Pediatric Cancer and Chronic Sinusitis, run by University Hospital, Lille.

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 2 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 22 May 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

Impact of CRS in pediatric patients by Sino-Nasal Outcome Test-22 (SNOT 22) (time frame: >1 year to <4 years after the end of oncologic treatment). 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 22 May 2026; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 26 Oct 2026.
