What is being measured

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

  1. Olfaction

    will be measured with the University of Pennsylvania Smell Identification Test (UPSIT), whose scores range from 0 to 40, where 0 is the inability to smell anything and 40 is perfect smell identification

    Measured: 3 weeks post-operation

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Sinonasal Health

    will be assessed with the Perioperative Sinus Endoscopy score (POSE), a 20 point scale where 0 is no sinus challenges and 20 represents the greatest blockage.

    Measured: 3 weeks post operation

  2. Olfaction

    Scored with the University of Pennsylvania Smell Identification Test, whose scores range from 0 to 40, where 0 is the inability to smell anything and 40 is perfect smell identification

    Measured: 24 weeks post operation

  3. Sinonasal Health

    Assessed with Perioperative Sinus Endoscopy (POSE) score

    Measured: 24 weeks post operation

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing pulmicort in people with Chronic Sinusitis and Polyposis, run by University of Michigan 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 3 inclusion and 5 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 29 May 2018. 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 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 29 May 2018). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Olfaction (time frame: 3 weeks post-operation). 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 29 May 2018.
