About this study

Official title: Exploration de l'Odorat en Imagerie Par Résonance Magnétique Fonctionnelle Chez Les Patients Atteints de Polypose Nasosinusienne

Nasal polyposis (NP) is a disease affecting 4% of the population. This disease is frequently accompanied by olfactory disorders (41%-84% of patients) that affect patients' quality of life.

The aim of this study is to show brain activity differences in olfactory areas before and after surgery in each patient and between patient groups (normosmic, hyposmic and anosmic one) using functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI). Brain activity will be measured by the intensity of brain signals and of the size of olfactory areas during olfactory stimulation before and after surgery. We suppose that fMRI could predict whether or not the patient will be able to recover smell after surgery.

What is being measured

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

  1. Functional Brain activity

    Blood Oxygen Level Dependent (BOLD) measures in olfactory areas during calibrated olfactory stimuli in patients with NP whose olfactory function is clinically normal (normosmia), decreased (hyposmia) or absent (anosmia).

    Measured: 6 months after the last inclusion

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Functional Brain activity

    Changes in Blood Oxygen Level Dependent (BOLD) measurements in olfactory areas during calibrated olfactory stimuli before and after NP surgery.

    Measured: 6 months after the last inclusion

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing fMRI in people with Nasal Polyposis, run by Central Hospital, Nancy, France at 1 site in France.

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 6 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 19 Nov 2020. 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 France. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Duc Trung NGUYEN, MD, PhD, MPH (33383155409, dt.nguyen@chru-nancy.fr), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Functional Brain activity (time frame: 6 months after the last inclusion). 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 19 Nov 2020.
