Balloon REmodeling Antrostomy THErapy Study (BREATHE I)

This study is designed to evaluate safety and effectiveness of a less invasive procedure to treat maxillary only, or maxillary and anterior ethmoid, chronic sinusitis. Additionally, this study will assess the feasibility of performing the procedure under local anesthesia.

Study Overview

Status

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

18 years and older (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Genders Eligible for Study

All

    1. Narrowing of the outflow tract of the maxillary sinus ostium or infundibulum with mucosal thickening of 2 mm or greater of the maxillary sinus antrum.
    2. Evidence of maxillary sinus air/liquid level.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Incidences of Device-related or Procedure-related Complications
Time Frame: Through 12 months post-procedure
Through 12 months post-procedure
Patency of the Treated Area as Verified by CT Scan
Time Frame: Post-treatment at 3 months
Post-procedure Patency was assessed using a CT scan 3 months post-procedure. The osteomeatal complex was assessed for patency by physicians.
Post-treatment at 3 months
Symptomatic Score Change- Sinonasal Outcome (SNOT) 20 Score Improvement
Time Frame: Post-treatment through 12 months
Symptomatic change in SNOT 20 scores on a 5-point Likert scale where "0" = no problem to "5" = problem as bad as it can be were calculated. Baseline scores and 12 month post-procedure follow-up scores were calculated and compared. A score reduction of at least 0.8 (-0.8) from baseline to 12 months is considered statistically significant and clinically impactful.
Post-treatment through 12 months

Primary Completion (Actual)

Primary Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention to collect final data for the primary outcome measure.
