About this study

Official title: Nasospore Stent For The Use in Endoscopic Sinus Surgery

The purpose of this study is to evaluate a stenting material called Nasopore. This is a synthetic material approved by FDA for use as a stent in postoperative sinus surgery patients. This study will compare the Nasopore stent to other approved stenting materials.

Read the detailed description

This study will compare other sinus stenting products to the Nasopore stent. The stents will be soaked in antibiotic solutions and be observed for how well they perform. Subjects will have a stent placed in each sinus, stents may be the standard antibiotic saturated materials or the new nasopore material or nasopore stent soaked in antibiotics.

Being tested
Merogel Nasal Stent and Nasopore Stent, Nasopore Stent and either Gentamycin or Bacitracin

Merogel stent vs. Nasopore StentActive comparatorThis study has two arms consiting of 50 subjects each (100 total) Arm 1 will recieve the standard stent (merogel)in their right sinus and a nasopore stent in their left sinus.
Receives: Drug: Merogel Nasal Stent and Nasopore Stent
bacitracin vs. gentamicin treated stentExperimentalThe second arm will consist of 50 new subjects. These 50 subjects will have a nasopore stent placed in the left sinus. The first 25 subjects will have nasopore stent placed postoperatively with a bacitracin soaked nasopore in right sinus the second 25 will have a gentamycin soaked nasopore stent in right sinus.
Receives: Drug: Merogel Nasal Stent and Nasopore Stent; Drug: Nasopore Stent and either Gentamycin or Bacitracin

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Merogel Nasal Stent and Nasopore Stent and Nasopore Stent and either Gentamycin or Bacitracin in people with Chronic Sinusitis, run by Lahey 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?

Where is the study taking place?

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 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

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 was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

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?

This study will evaluate the efficacy of nasopore stent soaked in bacitracin in and one stent soaked in gentaymcin antibiotic solution (time frame: prospective). 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.
