A Phase 3 interventional study of S8 Sinus Implant in Chronic Sinusitis and Nasal Polyposis, sponsored by Intersect ENT. Completed at 9 sites in United States. Open to participants aged 18 Years and older. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2019-11-27.
Sponsored by Intersect ENT (part of Medtronic) · Phase 3, Interventional, and Treatment
The ENCORE Study is designed to evaluate the repeat administration of the S8 Sinus Implant in chronic sinusitis (CS) patients with recurrent nasal polyps.
The ENCORE Study is a prospective open-label, non-randomized, multicenter study in CS patients who had undergone prior endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS) including bilateral total ethmoidectomy and present with bilateral ethmoid polyposis.
236 studies on the registry are indexed under Nasal Polyps; 68 are open to participants now.
This study's enrollment of 50 is below the median of 60 across 181 interventional studies indexed under Nasal Polyps.

Exclusion Criteria:
Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.
Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.
You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.
Able to have children. For women this usually means from the first period until menopause, unless permanently unable to through surgery; for men, unless permanently sterile. Read who the line is about — participants, women, men, or their partners.
Criteria about it usually ask for contraception during the study and for a time after it.
Able to become pregnant: from the first period until menopause, unless permanently unable to through surgery (removal of the womb, or of both ovaries or both fallopian tubes).
Criteria for people of childbearing potential usually ask for a negative pregnancy test and for contraception during the study and for a time after it.
Ways of preventing pregnancy. “Highly effective” methods fail less than 1% of the time a year when used correctly — for example an IUD or an implant.
Criteria usually say which methods count and how long to keep using them after the last dose, sometimes for male participants too. Some studies accept a partner’s vasectomy if it was confirmed successful and that person is the participant’s only sexual partner.
Anti-inflammatory medicines such as prednisone, prednisolone and dexamethasone — not the anabolic steroids used for muscle.
Studies differ in what they allow: check which steroid medicines, routes (tablets, injections, creams, inhalers, eye drops) and doses this study accepts.
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease: long-term lung disease that makes it hard to breathe out, including emphysema and chronic bronchitis.
The human immunodeficiency virus, which weakens the immune system.
Many studies now accept people whose HIV is controlled on treatment, judged by the viral load and the CD4 count. Check the limits this study sets.

corticosteroid-eluting sinus implant containing 1350 mcg of mometasone furoate (MF)
Combination Product: S8 Sinus Implant
In-office bilateral placement of the S8 Sinus Implant (mometasone furoate, 1350 mcg) in the ethmoid sinuses
Number of Participants With Implant-Related Serious Adverse Events
Evaluated via tabulation of implant-related serious adverse events (SAE) reported by subjects between consent and Day 365.
Time frame: 365 days
SNOT-22 Total Score
Sino-Nasal Outcomes Test (SNOT-22) is a validated disease-specific symptom-scoring instrument consisting of 22 questions, each scored on a 6-point scale of 0 (no problem) to 5 (probably as bad as it can be) based on the subject's recollection of symptoms over the past 2 weeks. The total score ranges from 0 to 110, with a higher score reflecting greater symptom burden. Change from baseline to 90 days and to 180 days is calculated as the value at 90/180 days minus the value from baseline. Negative values for change from baseline indicate reduction (improvement) in sino-nasal symptoms.
Time frame: Baseline, 90 days, 180 days
Nasal Obstruction/Congestion Score
Determined on a scale of 0 (no symptoms) to 3 (severe symptoms) based on the subject's recollection of symptoms over the past week using a reflective paper questionnaire. Change from baseline to 90 days and to 180 days is calculated as the value at 90/180 days minus the value at baseline. Negative values for change from baseline to follow-up indicate reduction (improvement) in nasal obstruction/congestion.
Time frame: Baseline, 90 days, 180 days
Patients were recruited at 10 sites across the US between November 2017 and January 2018.
