Study summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn about the safety and effectiveness of Novabel bioabsorbable steroid-releasing stent in chronic sinusitis. The main questions it aims to answer are:

  • The safety of this device for the chronic sinusitis
  • The effectiveness of this device for the chronic sinusitis Participants will be implanted bioabsorbable steroid-releasing stents after FESS surgery. Participants will be asked to be back to the clinic for follow-up 14 days, 30 days, 90 days, 180 days and 360 days after procedure.

Researchers will compare test device and marketed device to see if the safety and effectiveness between these two devices are non-inferior.

Inclusion criteria

  • Diagnose with CRS based on Chinese guidelines for diagnosis and treatment of chronic rhinosinusitis (2018), who were scheduled to undergo primary or revision bilateral ESS.
  • Have evidence of bilateral sinus based on computed tomographic (CT) scan (Lund-Mackay [L-M] score of \<=3 on each side).
  • Can understand the purpose of this study and will to join and finish all the follow up according to the study. Sign the ICF.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. Know history of allergy or intolerance to or mometasone furoate.
  2. The subject has a known allergic reaction or to the device material and its degradation products (L-polylactic acid, racemic polylactic acid, lactide lactate, lactic acid).
  3. Clinical evidence of cystic fibrosis, severe polyposis or sinonasal tumors.
  4. Clinical evidence of acute bacterial sinusitis or suspicion of invasive fungal sinusitis.
  5. Glaucoma, ocular hypertension, posterior subcapsular cataracts.
  6. Known history of immune deficiency or concurrent condition requiring active chemotherapy and/or immunotherapy management for the disease.
  7. Clinical evidence of disease or condition expected to compromise survival or ability to complete follow-up assessments during the 360 day follow-up period.
  8. Current ESS including frontal sinus surgery is aborted for any reason.
  9. Pregnant or lactating female
  10. Investigator determination that the potential study subject is unable to comply with study procedures and/or follow-up, or provided .
  11. Currently involved in another clinical study where that participation may conflict or interfere with the treatment, follow-up or results of the clinical study.
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.

Corticosteroids (steroids)

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.

Contraindication

A reason a treatment, test or procedure should not be given to a particular person, such as an allergy, another illness or a medicine they take.

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.

    Novabel bioabsorbable steroid-releasing stent

    Device: bioabsorbable steroid-releasing stent

  • Active comparator
    marketed bioabsorbable steroid-releasing stent

    Device: bioabsorbable steroid-releasing stent

Interventions

  • Devicebioabsorbable steroid-releasing stent

    The patient after functional endoscopic sinus surgery to treat their chronic sinusitis, the experimental device or active comparator device will be implanted to the sinus to prevent re-intervention (surgery or medicine).

    Also known as: functional endoscopic sinus surgery

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. non reintervention rate

    The need for postoperative interventions, medical and surgical, as determined based on review of video endoscopic findings by an independent blinded surgeon.

    Time frame: 30 days

Secondary outcomes

  1. Lund-Kennedy score

    Lund-Kennedy endoscopic scoring system based on polyps, oedema, discharge, scarring and crusting. from 0-2 is None/absent; mild; severe.

    Time frame: 30 days, 90 days, 180 days and 1 year

  2. Lund-Mackay score

    Each side of sinus is graded separately: 0 (no abnormality); 1 (partial opacification); 2 (complete opacification). If there is no frontal sinus (aplasia), the score is 0. Scores were calculated based on the results of a paranasal sinus CT scan 1-3 mm axial slice thickness with coronal and sagittal reconstruction. Result: score 0-24.

    Time frame: 90 days

  3. VAS score

    A 100mm VAS, ranging from 0 (no pain) to 100 (very severe pain), is used to measure pain intensity throughout the previous 24h.

    Time frame: 30 days, 90 days, 180 days and 1 year

  4. sinus panty rate

    as determined based on review of video endoscopic findings by an independent blinded surgeon

    Time frame: 30 days, 90 days, 180 days and 1 year

  5. implantation successful rate

    Time frame: immediately after the procedure

Other outcomes

  1. adverse event rate

    Time frame: immediately after the procedure
