About this study

The primary objective of this study is to determine the concentration of itraconazole irrigation in nasal mucous specimens via collection and High-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) assay.

Eight (8) patients with chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) and two (2) healthy controls will be enrolled in the initial evaluation. After an initial control nasal specimen, followed by seven days of twice daily topical itraconazole irrigation, nasal specimens will be collected at varying time intervals and the concentrations measured.

The primary endpoint is development of a reliable collection and assay technique with concentration curves over time of topically administered itraconazole. A secondary endpoint is to determine if the concentrations measured achieve a mean inhibitory concentration (MIC90) to commonly cultured fungal species in the nose.

Read the detailed description

This is a pilot study for the purpose of gathering concentration data on a commonly used topical antifungal solution of itraconazole. CRS patients that meet the defined inclusion criteria will begin topical itraconazole antifungal irrigations on Day 1. This will consist of Itraconazole in Sterile Water 100 mg/1000 ml, irrigating each nostril with 20 ml of solution twice daily, with a bulb syringe as directed. The patient will return on Day 7 for repeat examination and nasal secretion collection. Two patients will be randomly selected to have blood drawn at the completion of day 7 testing to determine the concentration of itraconazole in the blood.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Itraconazole in people with Sinusitis, run by Mayo Clinic at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 8 inclusion and 8 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 14 Apr 2015. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Concentration of Itraconazole in nasal secretions at 7 days (time frame: 7 days after initiation of study). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 14 Apr 2015.
