Trial summary

Topical and systemic steroids constitute the first choice in medical treatment for nasal polyps. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of a short course of budesonide inhalation suspension via transnasal nebulization in the preoperative management of chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyposis.

Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 23 to 64 years
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult

Who may be able to join

  • Diagnosis of chronic rhinosinusitis was made on the basis of symptoms of rhinosinusitis (nasal obstruction, rhinorhea, loss of smell, and headache/facial pain) for at least 12 weeks, confirmed by abnormalities in all sinuses on computed tomography (CT) scan. The diagnosis of CRSwNP was based on the standard criteria issued in the European Position Paper on Rhinosinusitis and Nasal Polyps guidelines.
  • Bilateral nasal polyps were present and endoscopic biopsy demonstrated eosinophilic polyposis. Patients were not recruited who had large polyps (total Kennedy score=6).

Who cannot join

  • a previous oral corticosteroid treatment.
  • recent sinus surgery
  • ASA intolerance
  • cystic fibrosis
  • pregnancy
  • serious or unstable concurrent disease or psychological disorder.

About this study

Official title: Efficacy and Safety of Budesonide Inhalation Suspension Via Transnasal Nebulization Compared With Budesonide Aqueous Nasal Spray and Oral Steroids for the Treatment of Chronic Rhinosinusitis With Polyposis.

Topical and systemic steroids constitute the first choice in medical treatment for nasal polyps. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of a short course of budesonide inhalation suspension via transnasal nebulization in the preoperative management of chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyposis. The second aim was to compare budesonide inhalation suspension with budesonide aqueous nasal spray and oral prednisone in nasal polyp treatment.

Being tested
budesonide, Prednisone

What is being measured

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

  1. Clinical responses including 4 major symptoms(nasal obstruction, rhinorrhea, loss of smell,and headache/facial pain)

    The primary efficacy outcome measure was the patients' assessment of four major symptoms improvement on an ordinal scaled visual analogue score of 0 to 10, where 0 indicates that no symptom is present and 10 signifies the presence of the most severe nasal obstruction, rhinorrhea, alteration in the sense of smell and headache/ facial pain.

    Measured: 2 weeks

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Physicians' assessment of nasal polyp size reduction

    the physicians' assessment of nasal polyp size reduction by endoscopic examination according to Kennedy score (0, no polyps; 1, polyps in the middle meatus, not reaching below the inferior border of the middle turbinate; 2, polyps reaching below the inferior border of the middle turbinate, but not below the inferior border of the inferior turbinate; 3, large polyps reaching below the inferior turbinate). Bilateral polyp grade was obtained as the sum of the individual grades for the left and right nasal cavities. A total score of 0-6 is possible.

    Measured: 2 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing budesonide and Prednisone in people with Chronic Rhinosinusitis With Polyposis, run by Beijing Tongren Hospital.

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 2 inclusion and 6 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 27 Sep 2018. 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. 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?

Clinical responses including 4 major symptoms(nasal obstruction, rhinorrhea, loss of smell,and headache/facial pain) (time frame: 2 weeks). 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 27 Sep 2018.
