19 Clinical Trials for Various Conditions
The main objective of this study is to evaluate treatment outcomes of tezepelumab among participants with physician-determined surgery-eligible CRSwNP, with or without asthma. Study details include: 1. The study duration will be up to 40 weeks. 2. The treatment duration will be up to 24 weeks. 3. The visit frequency will be once every 4 weeks (Q4W).
The central hypothesis of this study is that the addition of dupilumab treatment onto standard-of-care intranasal corticosteroids will improve patient-reported measures of disease activity and sense of smell in a cohort of mostly ethnical and racial minority patients with CRSwNP
The primary objectives of the study are: * To longitudinally characterize the long-term effectiveness of DUPIXENT® through assessment of patient-reported symptoms, Health-Related Quality of Life (HRQoL) related to Chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyposis (CRSwNP) and other type 2 comorbidities, and their change over-time. * To characterize patients who receive DUPIXENT® for CRSwNP in a real-world setting with respect to their medical history, demographic and disease characteristics, and type 2 comorbidities The secondary objectives of the study are: * To characterize real-world utilization of DUPIXENT® for patients with CRSwNP * To collect patient and physician global assessment of disease severity and treatment satisfaction for patients receiving DUPIXENT® for CRSwNP * To collect long-term safety data for patients receiving DUPIXENT® for CRSwNP
A Multicentre, Randomised, Double-Blind, Parallel-Group, Placebo-Controlled Phase 3 Efficacy and Safety Study of Tezepelumab in Participants with Severe Chronic Rhinosinusitis with Nasal Polyposis
The goal of this study is to examine the mechanism of action of omalizumab in ex vivo tissue culture of whole human nasal polyps from patients with chronic rhino sinusitis with nasal polyposis (CRSwNP), such that specific molecular markers of inflammation can be identified.
This is a research study to find out if an off-label use of carboxymethylcellulose foam (CMC), an absorbable nasal packing, combined with triamcinolone acetonide, a steroid, is more comfortable postoperatively for participants and is as effective in decreasing scarring, swelling and crusting after surgery than an FDA approved steroid eluting implant. Anticipated sample size will be 30. Study is an intrapatient control design. Subjects will be randomly assigned to receive CMC foam with triamcinolone in one nare and the steroid-eluting implant in the other. Participants will fill out preoperative and follow-up visit surveys at 7, 14, 30 and 90 days. Subjects at each visit will also have pictures taken of the nasal cavities to be scored for later analysis. Paired t-tests will be performed for analysis. Our primary objective is to demonstrate that triamcinolone-impregnated carboxymethylcellulose foam is noninferior to steroid-eluting implants in improving postoperative ethmoid inflammation, middle turbinate position, preventing intranasal synechiae and reducing polypoid change with objective measurement scales Our secondary objects include assessing the quality-of-life and nasal obstruction symptoms before and after functional endoscopic sinus surgery with validated SNOT-22 and NOSE questionnaires and to assess the cost-effectiveness of triamcinolone-impregnated carboxymethylcellulose foam versus steroid-eluting implant in management of CRSwNP in the early postoperative period. The endpoints are the POSE scores, the SNOT-22 and NOSE scores at days 7, 14, 30 and 90.
This study will assess the effectiveness of MEDIHONEY® sinus rinses (alone or in combination with intranasal corticosteroids) vs. intranasal corticosteroid sinus rinses on mucosal healing and polyp recurrence in the post-operative period following functional endoscopic sinus surgery.
The investigators are doing this research study to learn more about a drug called Xolair (omalizumab). The investigators want to see if it is an effective treatment for chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS). Specifically, the investigators want to see whether Xolair will make nasal polyps smaller and less thick, and relieve symptoms in people with CRS. Polyps are abnormal growths of tissue that can grow in the lining of your sinuses (the inside of your nose). The investigators also want to find out if it is safe to use (whether it causes side effects).
This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group, international, multicenter, Phase 3 study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of repeat dosing of benralizumab 30 mg administered subcutaneously (SC) versus placebo in patients with severe nasal polyposis.
To assess the efficacy of intra-sinus installation of a poloxamer gel that releases antibiotics and corticosteroids topically after balloon sinuplasty in chronic sinusitis patients with or without polyps. This is a single-blinded Randomized Control Trial study, in which every patient receives active gel on one side and placebo on the other (L or R to be randomly selected).
Primary Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of dupilumab 300 milligram (mg) every 2 weeks (q2w) compared to placebo on a background of mometasone furoate nasal spray (MFNS) in reducing nasal congestion/obstruction (NC) severity and endoscopic nasal polyp score (NPS) in participants with bilateral nasal polyposis (NP). In addition for Japan participants, reduction in computed tomography (CT) scan opacification of the sinuses was a coprimary objective. Secondary Objectives: * To evaluate the efficacy of dupilumab in improving total symptoms score (TSS). * To evaluate the efficacy of dupilumab in improving sense of smell. * To evaluate the efficacy of dupilumab in reducing CT scan opacification of the sinuses (primary objective for Japan). * To evaluate ability of dupilumab in reducing proportion of participants requiring treatment with systemic corticosteroids or NP surgery. * To evaluate the effect of dupilumab on participant reported outcomes and health related quality of life outcome by sinonasal outcome test-22 (SNOT-22). * To evaluate the effect of dupilumab in the subgroups of participants with prior surgery and co-morbid asthma (including non-steroid antiinflammatory drug \[NSAID\] exacerbated respiratory disease \[ERD\]). * To evaluate residual effect in follow up. * To evaluate the safety of dupilumab in participants with bilateral NP. * To evaluate functional dupilumab concentrations (systemic exposure) and incidence of treatment-emergent anti-drug antibodies.
Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) is common disorder which affects up to 13% of the US population. CRS affects numerous Quality of Life (QOL) factors including smell, sleep and communication. The common treatment for medically noncompliant CRS is Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery (FESS). As the disease course is generally idle, prolonged medical treatment guidelines are for antibiotic treatment, prescribed accordingly following appropriately obtained nasal cultures, lasting weeks with or without additional topical or oral steroid treatment. While FESS success rate is a general notion, a failure rate of primary FESS is as high as 2-24%2, with a Cochrane review even suggesting that FESS though a safe procedure is of no benefit more than medical management. With that in mind as we address the failed FESS, new bacteria emerge. The new bacteria in CRS are Coagulase-negative staphylococci were the most common isolates (36%), followed by Staphylococcus aureus (25%), Streptococcus viridans (8.3%), Corynebacterium (4.6%), and anaerobes (6.4%). Patients not relieved by primary FESS demonstrate a significant rise in Pseudomonas and MRSA bacteria positive cultures. Moreover surgical success for patients with Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa positive cultures is usually reduced. Bacterial killing, by usage of light-activated agents such as Indocyanine Green (ICG) with exposure to the specific wavelength, eventually produces bacterial killing. Mechanisms primarily involved are production of reactive oxygen species (i.e. singlet oxygen and free radicals) which can then kill bacteria. ICG by itself does not have any bacterial killing effect. Low level laser therapy (LLLT) was shown to be effective as a bactericidal by single and multiple wave exposures. The study purpose is to treat CRS with an alternative to antibiotics, thus sparing volunteers from prolonged antibiotics use and its possible side effects, not to mention the cost and growth of resistant bacteria. We believe that by combining ICG with light or even by light alone we can produce you a beneficial effect. Although this has been shown to kill bacteria in lab or animal studies it is still investigational for humans. The study will have two arms: ICG + laser and laser only arm. ICG will be applied locally in the nasal passage (internally) followed by laser activation with a power setting of 6W. The laser will be activated with a diffuser mode meaning light of a specific known wavelength will be delivered evenly in the nasal cavity and not as a beam. Laser only treatment plan will be the same only without ICG. Volunteers will be assigned to one of the groups randomly meaning you have a 50% chance of enrolling to each treatment group. Volunteers will not know to which group. Weekly visits with a total of three visits will follow. With each visit Volunteers will receive additional treatment as the initial treatment was and a nasal culture will be taken. Volunteers will have to fill a questionnaire with each visit.
This is a cross-sectional study of up to 100 subjects who are undergoing clinically indicated sinus procedures to treat chronic rhinosinusitis. Participants will be asked to donate leftover sino-nasal secretions, sino-nasal tissue and blood as well as undergo partial characterization. As optional extensions of the main study, participants may also undergo a biopsy of extra sino-nasal tissue for additional tissue analysis and/or a more detailed characterization visit performed in the UCSF Airway Center Research Center (ACRC).
A Phase 2a, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multi-center study to evaluate the efficacy, safety, pharmacokinetics (PK), and pharmacodynamics (PD) of GB001 compared with placebo over 16 weeks of treatment in patients with chronic rhinosinusitis with or without nasal polyposis (NP).
The RESOLVE II Study is a randomized, single-blind, parallel arm, concurrently controlled, multicenter study with 300 chronic sinusitis patients who had prior endoscopic sinus surgery but present with recurrent sinus obstruction.
The overarching objective of this study is to determine the clinical effectiveness of dupilumab for the treatment of CRS that includes several potential disease endotypes with the exclusion of the nasal polyp cluster that has previously been determined. The additional information gained from secondary and exploratory outcomes will help provide important insight for applied research studies and may also provide practical guidance to clinicians on how to select patients for treatment.
