Efficacy and Safety of Budesonide Inhalation Suspension for the Treatment of Chronic Rhinosinusitis With Polyposis.

September 25, 2018 updated by: Beijing Tongren Hospital

Efficacy and Safety of Budesonide Inhalation Suspension Via Transnasal Nebulization Compared With Budesonide Aqueous Nasal Spray and Oral Steroids for the Treatment of Chronic Rhinosinusitis With Polyposis.

Topical and systemic steroids constitute the first choice in medical treatment for nasal polyps. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of a short course of budesonide inhalation suspension via transnasal nebulization in the preoperative management of chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyposis. The second aim was to compare budesonide inhalation suspension with budesonide aqueous nasal spray and oral prednisone in nasal polyp treatment.

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Diagnosis of chronic rhinosinusitis was made on the basis of symptoms of rhinosinusitis (nasal obstruction, rhinorhea, loss of smell, and headache/facial pain) for at least 12 weeks, confirmed by abnormalities in all sinuses on computed tomography (CT) scan. The diagnosis of CRSwNP was based on the standard criteria issued in the European Position Paper on Rhinosinusitis and Nasal Polyps guidelines.
  • Bilateral nasal polyps were present and endoscopic biopsy demonstrated eosinophilic polyposis. Patients were not recruited who had large polyps (total Kennedy score=6).

Exclusion Criteria:

  • a previous oral corticosteroid treatment.
  • recent sinus surgery
  • ASA intolerance
  • cystic fibrosis
  • pregnancy
  • serious or unstable concurrent disease or psychological disorder.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Clinical responses including 4 major symptoms(nasal obstruction, rhinorrhea, loss of smell,and headache/facial pain)
Time Frame: 2 weeks
The primary efficacy outcome measure was the patients' assessment of four major symptoms improvement on an ordinal scaled visual analogue score of 0 to 10, where 0 indicates that no symptom is present and 10 signifies the presence of the most severe nasal obstruction, rhinorrhea, alteration in the sense of smell and headache/ facial pain.
2 weeks

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Physicians' assessment of nasal polyp size reduction
Time Frame: 2 weeks
the physicians' assessment of nasal polyp size reduction by endoscopic examination according to Kennedy score (0, no polyps; 1, polyps in the middle meatus, not reaching below the inferior border of the middle turbinate; 2, polyps reaching below the inferior border of the middle turbinate, but not below the inferior border of the inferior turbinate; 3, large polyps reaching below the inferior turbinate). Bilateral polyp grade was obtained as the sum of the individual grades for the left and right nasal cavities. A total score of 0-6 is possible.
2 weeks
