Trial summary

The objective of this study is to show that long-term symptom improvement after sinus balloon dilation is not worse than symptom improvement after functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS) and that fewer postoperative debridements are required after balloon dilation than after FESS.

About this study

The objective of this study is to show that long-term symptom improvement after sinus balloon dilation is not worse than symptom improvement after functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS) and that fewer postoperative debridements are required after balloon dilation than after FESS.

Read the detailed description

This is a postmarket, multicenter, prospective, randomized clinical trial conducted at up to 15 US clinical sites comparing the efficacy of balloon sinus dilation with traditional endoscopic sinus surgery. The primary hypotheses were to demonstrate that: 1) long-term change in sinus symptoms after balloon dilation is not worse (non-inferior) than after FESS, and 2) balloon dilation is superior to FESS for a reduction in the number of postoperative debridements per patient. A minimum of 36 participants per arm is required to test the primary hypotheses. All participants will be followed through a minimum of 12 months post treatment.

Being tested
Balloon Sinus Dilation, Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Balloon Sinus DilationDevice

    Balloon sinus dilation using the XprESS Multi-Sinus Dilation Tool or the FinESS SInus Treatment

  • Functional Endoscopic Sinus SurgeryProcedure or surgery

    Endoscopic sinus surgery, specifically, maxillary antrostomy and uncinectomy with optional anterior ethmoidectomy

What is being measured

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

  1. Sinus Symptom Improvement

    Change from baseline in overall 20-item Sino-Nasal Outcome Test (SNOT-20) score. The SNOT-20 is a validated patient reported survey of 20 items related to sinonasal symptoms and severity assessed over the previous 2 weeks. Each item is scored from 0 (no problem) to 5 (problem as bad as it can be). The individual item scores are averaged to provide and overall score that ranges from 0 (best) to 5 (worst).

    Measured: Baseline and 1-year

  2. Debridements

    Number of postoperative debridements per participant

    Measured: 1-year

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Revision Rate

    Number of participants requiring repeat sinus procedures

    Measured: 1-year

  2. Complication Rate

    Number of participants experiencing 1 or more serious adverse events related to the device and/or procedure

    Measured: Duration of study (minimum of 12 months)

  3. Recovery Time

    Mean time (days) after procedure for participants to return to normal activities

    Measured: 6-months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Balloon Sinus Dilation and Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery in people with Chronic Sinusitis, run by Entellus Medical, Inc. 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 4 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
