About this study
Official title: ENLIGHTEN 2: A Phase III, Randomized, Blinded, Controlled, Parallel-Group Trial to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of LYR-210 for the Treatment of Chronic Rhinosinusitis in Adults
Multicenter, phase III, randomized, blinded, controlled, parallel group.
Read the detailed description
This is a 24-week, multicenter, phase III, randomized, blinded, controlled, parallel group with a 24-week treatment period to evaluate the efficacy and safety of LYR-210 compared with sham control for treatment in adults with CRS.

| Sham procedure control | Sham comparator | Single mock administration procedure Receives: Drug: Sham procedure control; Other: Background therapy |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Change From Baseline (CFBL) in the 7-day Average Composite Score of 3 Cardinal Symptoms (3CS) in Participants Without Nasal Polyps
The 3CS are nasal blockage/obstruction/congestion, anterior/posterior nasal discharge, and facial pain/pressure. The diary is completed daily by study participants throughout the study. Each symptom is rated on a 4-point (0-3) scale where 0= none/absent symptoms, 1=mild symptoms, 2=moderate symptoms, and 3=severe symptoms. The composite score of 3CS is the sum of the three cardinal symptom scores. The 3CS total score ranges from 0-9, with higher scores indicating worse symptoms.
Measured: Week 24
Secondary outcomes (4)
CFBL in the 7-day Average Composite Score of 3CS in All Participants at Week 24
The 3CS are nasal blockage/obstruction/congestion, anterior/posterior nasal discharge, and facial pain/pressure. The diary is completed daily by study participants throughout the study. Each symptom is rated on a 4-point (0-3) scale where 0= none/absent symptoms, 1=mild symptoms, 2=moderate symptoms, and 3=severe symptoms. The composite score of 3CS is the sum of the three cardinal symptom scores. The 3CS total score ranges from 0-9, with higher scores indicating worse symptoms.
Measured: Week 24
CFBL in the 22-item Sino-Nasal Outcome Test (SNOT-22) Total Score at Week 24
The SNOT-22 questionnaire is a 22-item disease-specific quality of life instrument. Each symptom is scored on a 6-point scale where 0 = no problem and 5 = problem as bad as it can be. The total SNOT-22 score is the sum of the 22 items and can range from 0 to 110 with higher scores indicating worse symptoms.
Measured: Week 24
CFBL in the 3-D Volumetric CT Score at Week 20
Change from baseline in the percent opacification of the bilateral anterior and posterior ethmoids at Week 20, as determined by 3-D volumetric CT analysis. 3-D volumetric scoring involves evaluations of each slice of 3-D coronal CT sequences and summing of all the slices to create a volumetric score ranging from 0% to 100%.
A negative change from Baseline indicates improvement from Baseline.
Measured: Week 20
Rescue Treatment Requirement Through Week 24
Number and percent of participants requiring rescue treatment (systemic corticosteroid for any reason or participants that were recommended/underwent sinonasal surgery) through Week 24.
Measured: Week 24

A Phase 3 study testing LYR-210 and Background therapy in people with Chronic Sinusitis and Chronic Rhinosinusitis (Diagnosis), run by Lyra Therapeutics at 57 sites in 6 countries.
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 8 inclusion and 22 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 19 Feb 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 57 sites in United States, Hungary, Poland, Germany, Bulgaria and 1 more country. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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 19 Feb 2026). 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?
Change From Baseline (CFBL) in the 7-day Average Composite Score of 3 Cardinal Symptoms (3CS) in Participants Without Nasal Polyps (time frame: Week 24). 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 Feb 2026.
