Study of Chronic Rhinosinusitis Symptoms in Asthma Patients Undergoing Treatment With Reslizumab

An observational study in Chronic Rhinosinusitis (Diagnosis), Asthma and Nasal Polyps, sponsored by University of Rochester. Withdrawn at 1 site in United States. Open to participants aged 18 Years and older. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2019-11-13.

Why
  1. Disease describes something many studies share rather than a condition a study is about.
  2. The study's listed conditions name Asthma.
Confidence
High: the new condition is named in the study's own listed conditions. Of 351 hand-checked studies reclassified this way, 68% were exactly right and 84% in the right disease family; the registry's first term was right for 5% (measured 2026-10-21). How we classify →

Study summary

The primary objective of this research is to monitor chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) symptoms in asthma patients who are undergoing treatment with reslizumab. A secondary objective is to explore whether there are sub-populations that appear to benefit or not benefit from reslizumab in terms of their CRS symptoms.

Read the detailed description

This is a prospective observational study of patients receiving reslizumab to treat their asthma. Some asthma patients receiving reslizumab also have CRS, which might also be improved by this drug. Study measures will be obtained from the medical records of eligible subjects who consent to participate. The study has no specific procedures per se, because all study measures are acquired during the course of standard of care treatment and will be abstracted from those medical records.

Study population

Patients with poorly controlled moderate to severe asthma with eosinophilia and a diagnosis of chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyposis

Go through the criteria one by one — yes, no or not sure — and take the list to your doctor or the study team. Kept in this browser only.

Inclusion criteria

  • Age is 18 years or older
  • Physician diagnosis of poorly controlled moderate to severe asthma despite typical medical therapy with an eosinophilic phenotype (defined by blood eosinophil count of 150 µL or greater within 6 weeks of enrollment)
  • Initiating or undergoing reslizumab therapy (Reslizumab - Patient Information listed in Appendix 1 for reference)
  • Physician diagnosis of chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyposis
  • Able to understand and willing to provide
  • Able to complete standard of care English-language questionnaires

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Current smokers
  • Significant uncontrolled medical conditions
  • Ongoing or history of cancer in remission for less than 12 months
  • Subjects who had received medications within 3 months of enrollment
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(3)

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.

Informed consent

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.

Cancer (malignancy)

Malignancy means cancer. Criteria about another or earlier malignancy ask whether you have had a different cancer, usually within a set number of years.

Some are commonly allowed, such as treated skin cancers other than melanoma and early cancers removed completely — check the exceptions this study lists.

Immunosuppression

A weakened immune system. It can come from an illness, such as HIV or some blood cancers, or from medicines that turn the immune system down, for example after an organ transplant or for an autoimmune disease; steroids at higher doses count.

Read whether the line is about a condition or about medicines, and which medicines and doses it means.

Groups and cohorts

  • chronic rhinosinusitis and eosinophilic asthma

    Adults over the age of 18, diagnosed with poorly controlled moderate to severe asthma with an eosinophilic phenotype (defined by blood eosinophil count of 150 µL or greater within 6 weeks of enrollment) who are initiating/undergoing reslizumab therapy and also carry a physician diagnosis of chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyposis

    Drug: Reslizumab

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Mean Sino-Nasal Outcome Test (SNOT)-22 Score

    SNOT-22 score ranges from 0 to 110 with higher scores indicating worse symptoms. The questionnaire consists of 22 questions regarding common sinonasal complaints of patients with chronic sinus disease, each question graded 0 to 5 (0 No Problem, 1 Very Mild Problem, 2 Mild or Slight Problem, 3 Moderate Problem, 4 Severe Problem, 5 Problem as Bad as it Can Be).

    Time frame: 1 year
