About this study

Official title: Olfactory Dysfunction of Rhinosinusitis - cAMP/Calcium Signaling Study

The study examines the biochemistry underlying human olfaction in both normal and diseased states.

The study aims are: 1. to determine the levels of cAMP in olfactory tissue from people with chronic rhinosinusitis and other nasal disorders. 2. to correlate preoperative olfactory function with cAMP levels from biopsied olfactory tissue. 3. to determine odorant and pheromone-mediated activation of cultured human olfactory sensory neurons using calcium imaging and 4. to determine odorant and pheromone-mediated activation of cultured human olfactory sensory neurons using "smell-chip" technology.

Read the detailed description

Subject will be recruited from those scheduled to have endoscopic sinus surgery and similar procedures. This study uses the tissue that would normally be discarded during the surgical process. The tissue is cultured and frozen for purposes of the following testing:

odor detection and signal transduction, cyclic adenosine monophosphate and odor detection, the role of cAMP in olfactory dysfunction, and pheromone detection.

Only tissue that would normally be discarded during the course of the surgery will be used. The study does not interfere with or change any clinical care.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Sinusitis, run by Greg Davis 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 5 inclusion and 1 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 11 Dec 2014. 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.

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.

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 11 Dec 2014.
