Study summary

An international consortium of leading medical experts in the field of chronic respiratory disease, the research team of Galenus Health and the non-profit organization EUFOREA (European Forum for Research and Education in Allergy and Airway diseases) has been conceived to conduct real-life outcome research. The Galenus Health digital platform consisting of a mobile application for patients and an online dashboard for physicians will be implemented in each of the participating centres. The data will be centralized in a pseudonymized database and will be the basis of the Chronic RhinoSinusitis Outcome Registry.

Read the detailed description

This real-life chronic rhinosinusitis outcome registry aims at longitudinal data collection from patients attending specialist care centres across Europe.

As primary aim it intends to provide new insights on the burden of uncontrolled disease, the impact on health-related quality of life, productivity loss as well as the effect of disease severity and co-morbid disease on these outcome parameters.

In addition this outcome registry intends to identify patients eligible for type 2 targeted biologic therapy, evaluate treatment effectiveness and markers of treatment response.

Beyond that direct and indirect costs for society related to chronic rhinosinusitis and its' treatment will be studied.

Study population

Users of the Galenus Health mobile application who reported a diagnosis with CRS will be entered into the registry if they provided consent for scientific research. Confirmation of CRS diagnosis by a physician will be performed via the web-based dashboard. The CRS population includes both patients with and without nasal polyps, with and without asthma co-morbidity, with or without former surgery, aged 18 years or above. Patients are included into the registry with the aim of longitudinal follow up.

Inclusion criteria

  • Physician diagnosis of Chronic RhinoSinusitis
  • Capable of using a mobile application on a smartphone

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Patients with of the sinonasal cavity
  • Patients with inverted papilloma
  • Patients with unilateral disease
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(1)

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.

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.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Feb 13, 2025, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
