Filter by:The purpose of this study is to determine whether prednisone is effective in the treatment of chronic rhinosinusitis without nasal polyps in adult patients.
This study evaluates long-term safety and effectiveness of primary sinus surgery in a real-world population of adults with chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) or recurrent acute rhinosinusitis (RARS). This post-market study will evaluate sinus surgery performed using commercially available sinus instrumentation (e.g. sinus balloon catheters, powered microdebriders, manual instruments).
The aim is to determine if high-dose amoxicillin/clavulanate is more effective than standard-dose amoxicillin/clavulanate in treating acute bacterial sinusitis in adults seen at a primary care office.
This study aimed to evaluate the upstream events of Th17/Treg imbalance in CRS and their immune regulatory factors. Then the investigators aimed to explore the regulatory role of miRNA on DC-Th axis and its dysfunction in the pathogenesis of CRS, in order to determine the miRNA expression profile in CRS and clarify the role of miRNA in the pathogenesis of CRS by regulating the DC-Th axis.
The aim of the proposed trial in assessment of effects of Kalydeco™ treatment on sinonasal involvement in CF patients with at least one mutation of G551D receiving a new therapy with the CFTR potentiator. The focus will be given on changes in epithelial lining fluid inflammatory markers from CF upper airways sampled by nasal lavage. The program is subdivided into a part A assessing inflammatory markers in NL and sinonasal symptoms longitudinally from pre-treatment to months with the new therapy. Part B will only be performed in a smaller subgroup and assess inflammatory markers in NL every second day in the first month of treatment and then every week until the end of month 3 with Kalydeco™ therapy.
Justification: Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) is one of the most common inflammatory diseases with an incidence and prevalence superior to 10%. Unfortunately, more than 30% of patients do not respond to standard medical and surgical treatment, thus continuously increasing the symptomatologic and socio-economic burden of this disease. Hypothesis: The investigators believe that the addition of azithromycin (AZI) to the treatment regimen of patients with refractory CRS failing conventional medico-surgical treatment will be beneficial in a symptomatologic and endoscopic level. Primary objective: 1- To evaluate whether Azithromycine 250 mg PO three times weekly is effective in controlling signs and symptoms of CRS in high-risk patients unresponsive to standard management after endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS) with budesonide irrigations. Secondary objectives: i) Validate a simple and concise treatment algorithm for patients refractory to standard CRS treatment of ESS and BUDI, with the addition of low-dose AZI. ii) Characterise and define the population deemed "high-risk" for standard CRS treatment failure by evaluating: 1) demographics, 2) inflammatory states and 3) the nasal flora microbiome of patients at the different follow-up points of this study. iii) Explore the mechanisms of AZI by assessing the changes in inflammatory states and the nasal flora microbiome associated with successful AZI therapy. Methods: Inclusion of all patients admitted for endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS) for CRS operated by the same surgeon (MD). Following their first postoperative visit (2 weeks), all patients will receive nasal irrigations with budesonide (BUDI) twice daily for 4 months and will be re-evaluated. If there is a failure of treatment, patients eligible to receive AZI will be randomized in to two groups, AZI 250mg or a placebo three times a week for 4 months. At every follow-up, complete endoscopic exams will be performed, along with sinus cultures and brush cytology. Population: All patients deemed "high-risk" with CRS admitted for ESS between October 2014 and October 2015.
The purpose of this study is to identify and use patient centered outcomes to compare narrow-spectrum and broad-spectrum antibiotics for the treatment of common acute respiratory tract infections (ARTIs) in children.
Study to verify the efficacy and tolerability of Sinusitis Hevert SL tablets compared to placebo in adult patients with acute, uncomplicated rhinosinusitis (inflammation of the nasal and paranasal sinuses).
The RESOLVE II Study is a randomized, single-blind, parallel arm, concurrently controlled, multicenter study with 300 chronic sinusitis patients who had prior endoscopic sinus surgery but present with recurrent sinus obstruction.
The purpose of this randomized controlled double-blinded trial is to determine if the addition of an oral antifungal to typical post-operative medical therapy can prevent or reduce the incidence of recurrence of nasal polyps in fungal sensitive patients with chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP).
