About this study

Official title: A Multi-center, Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled Study on Efficacy and Safety of Mometasone Furoate Nasal Spray (MFNS) in the Post Surgical Treatment of Nasal Polyposis

This study was conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of mometasone nasal spray in preventing polyp relapse/symptom worsening in patients after surgical treatment of nasal polyps. Patients who met Screening eligibility underwent endoscopic sino-nasal surgery (FESS) on visit 2. Mometasone nasal spray or placebo was started about 2 weeks after surgery and continued for up to 24 weeks or until relapse.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Time to relapse in polyp score after surgery

    Measured: Assessment for relapse was performed at every study visit (up to 24 weeks of treatment)

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Signs and symptom scores

    Measured: All study visits (up to 24 weeks of treatment)

  2. Quality of life, peak nasal inspiratory flow, olfaction threshold

    Measured: Measured starting 1 week after treatment up to 24 weeks of treatment

  3. Adverse events

    Measured: Throughout the whole study after the Screening period.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Mometasone Furoate Nasal Spray in people with Nasal Polyps, run by Organon and Co.

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 3 inclusion and 14 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 15 Aug 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

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?

Time to relapse in polyp score after surgery (time frame: Assessment for relapse was performed at every study visit (up to 24 weeks of treatment)). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00731185, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 15 Aug 2024.
