Study Overview

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.
Completed

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

The PROPEL mometasone furoate-releasing implant (Intersect ENT, Menlo Park, CA) is the first FDA-approved device for reducing the need for post-operative interventions by maintaining patency and delivering steroid medication directly into the ethmoid cavity following surgery. Five recently published clinical trials have demonstrated that the mometasone furoate-releasing implant placed in the hospital operating room or in the office setting produces statistically significant reductions in inflammation, polyp formation, and postoperative adhesions. In addition, the implant has been found to significantly reduce the need for postoperative prescription of oral steroids and to decrease the frequency of postoperative lysis of adhesions. Minimal adverse effects were reported in these trials.

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

Yes

Genders Eligible for Study

All

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Age ≥ 18 years
  • Confirmed diagnosis of CRS (Chronic Rhinosinusitis) based on the 2015 Clinical Practice Guideline for Adult Sinusitis [6]
  • Prior ESS (Ethmoid Sinus Surgery) including bilateral total ethmoidectomy at least 90 days prior to being considered for this study
  • Planned ESS includes bilateral polypectomy
  • ESS including bilateral polypectomy has been successfully completed without significant complication that, in the opinion of the investigator, would confound study results, and the patient's anatomy remains amenable to implant placement.
  • Bilateral polyposis (minimum grade 2 on each side) originating from the ethmoid sinus region
  • Complaints of at least 2 of the 5 hallmark symptoms of chronic sinusitis: nasal obstruction/congestion, post-nasal discharge, thick nasal discharge, facial pain/pressure, or decreased sense of smell.
  • Minimum symptom threshold (Nasal Obstruction/Congestion minimum score of 2 on scale from 0 to 3)
  • Failed medical therapy within the preceding 12 months

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Not able to give consent
  • Oral-steroid dependent condition
  • Allergy or intolerance to corticosteroids
  • Clinical evidence of bacterial sinusitis or invasive fungal sinusitis
