About this study

This project focuses on researching chronic rhinosinusitis in patients, employing image processing techniques and molecular biology methods to jointly determine the research objectives:

  1. Investigating heterogeneity.
  2. Developing an intelligent assessment model.
  3. Creating a visual tool for diagnosis and prognosis.
Read the detailed description
  1. Investigating the heterogeneity of chronic rhinosinusitis: the project will utilize high-throughput information from various sources such as radiology, pathology, and proteomics to gain insights into the multi-dimensional and big data aspects of chronic rhinosinusitis. By analyzing this data, the study aims to identify and understand the different subtypes with more precise and personalized treatment approaches.
  2. Developing an intelligent assessment model: using artificial intelligence algorithms, the project will analyze multi-omics data gathered from the research. The goal is to establish an intelligent assessment model that can accurately interpret the data and provide valuable insights into chronic rhinosinusitis.
  3. Creating a visual tool for diagnosis and prognosis: the project seeks to integrate multi-omics information to establish an AI model for typing and prognostic prediction. By achieving these research objectives, this project aspires to enhance the understanding of chronic rhinosinusitis and contribute to the development of more precise, personalized, and effective treatment strategies for patients suffering from this condition.

Study groups in NCT05983003
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
ControlFollowing the efficacy assessment method outlined in the 2020 EPOS guidelines, the treatment outcomes of chronic sinusitis are categorized as "controlled" or "uncontrolled." Clinical reference evaluation criteria include: nasal congestion, rhinorrhea, facial pain, reduced sense of smell, sleep disturbances, the need for ongoing medication maintenance and the abnormal nasal endoscopy findings, .If there are no three or more symptoms rated five or higher, the patient's chronic sinusitis is considered controlled.
Receives: Procedure: endoscopic sinus surgery
UncontrolFollowing the efficacy assessment method outlined in the 2020 EPOS guidelines, the treatment outcomes of chronic sinusitis are categorized as "controlled" or "uncontrolled." Clinical reference evaluation criteria include: nasal congestion, rhinorrhea, facial pain, reduced sense of smell, sleep disturbances, the need for ongoing medication maintenance and the abnormal nasal endoscopy findings, . The classification is based on the number and severity of these symptoms,and patients with three or more symptoms rated five or higher are considered to have uncontrolled disease
Receives: Procedure: endoscopic sinus surgery

What is being measured

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

  1. Change from baseline at months 12 in visual analogue scale (VAS) after surgical intervention

    The VAS for rhinosinusitis was used to evaluate the total disease severity. The participants were asked to indicate on a 10 centimeters (cm) VAS the answer to the question, "How troublesome are your symptoms of your rhinosinusitis?" The range of the VAS was from 0 (not troublesome) to 10 (worse thinkable troublesome) of troublesome, where higher score indicated worse thinkable troublesome.

    Measured: 12month

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Change from baseline at months 1, 3, 6 and 12 in 22-item sino-nasaloutcome test (SNOT-22) scores after surgical intervention

    The SNOT-22 is a validated questionnaire that was used to assess the impact of chronic rhinosinusitis on health-related quality of life (HRQoL). It is a 22 item questionnaire with each item assigned a score ranging from 0 (no problem) to 5 (problem as bad as it can be). The total score may range from 0 (no disease) to 110 (worst disease), lower scores representing better health related quality of life.

    Measured: 1month, 3month, 6month, 12month

  2. Revision surgery rate

    The rate of reoperation in each group after surgery

    Measured: 12month

  3. Symptom duration

    The time of duration of major symptoms of postoperative patients

    Measured: 1month, 3month, 6month, 12month

  4. Change from baseline at months 1, 3, 6 and 12 in nasal endoscopic score after surgical intervention

    Endoscopic result is scored according to Lund-Kennedy system, with the assessment of nasal polyp (NP), edema, nasal discharge, scarring and crusting. Items including edema, nasal discharge, scarring and crusting score 0 for no problem, 1 for mild abnormalities and 2 for severe abnormalities. NP score is graded and based on NP size recorded as the sum of the right and left nostril scores with a range of 0-8; higher scores indicate worse status. Individual score ranges from 0 (no polyps) to 4 (large polyps causing almost complete congestion/ obstruction of the inferior meatus) within each nostril.

    Measured: 1month, 3month, 6month, 12month

  5. Postoperative medication

    The duration and dose of postoperative medication needed to relieve symptoms

    Measured: 1month, 3month, 6month, 12month

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 3 inclusion and 11 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 24 Jul 2025. 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. 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 is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

Change from baseline at months 12 in visual analogue scale (VAS) after surgical intervention (time frame: 12month). 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 NCT05983003, which also lists 2 linked publications.

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 24 Jul 2025.
