Filter by:Rhinosinusitis disorders are often associated with Cystic Fibrosis. They can restrict quality of life enormously and give cause to repeated ENT surgery. The basic defect in CF is a dysfunction of chloride channels in exocrine glands, leading to retention of secretions and consecutive chronic inflammation with bacterial superinfections. The prospective placebo controlled cross-over study aims at the evaluation of a nasally inhalation of Pulmozyme with respect to mucus retention and resulting inflammation.
The purpose of this study is to establish whether MRI scanning is a sensitive measure of the effects of existing drug treatments on nasal dimensions following challenge with intranasal allergen in subjects with hayfever. If successful this technique could be applied to increase confidence for internal decision making and ultimately may be used to assess how effective a new drug treatment is.
This is a clinical study organized to collect clinical data to better define the activity of some antimicrobials already marketed in Italy and in the rest of the world for the treatment of acute bacterial rhinosinusitis
The purpose of the study is to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of Avelox in a 5 day treatment of adult patients with acute bacterial sinusitis and to measure the amount of time it takes for symptom relief. Avelox is currently not approved for the 5 day treatment of acute bacterial sinusitis, therefore in this study Avelox is considered an investigational drug. In this study Avelox will be compared to placebo.
Healthy children may develop symptoms of chronic sinusitis such as chronic cough, chronic runny nose, nasal congestion, even headaches. Such symptoms may persist long after the child gets over other symptoms of a cold and commonly result in the prescription of oral antibiotics. The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether using saline alone or saline plus an antibiotic (gentamycin) to irrigate the nose directly once a day for 6 weeks is effective and safe for the treatment of the above named symptoms. Computerized axial tomography (CAT) scans and quality of life surveys will be used to compare the health of the sinuses before and after treatment, and scored to determine which of the two treatments, saline alone or saline with gentamycin, is more effective in the treatment of this condition. The study hypothesis is that intranasal saline irrigation will work as well as saline plus gentamycin, and that majority of the patients will experience significant improvement after a 6 week treatment period.
The primary objective of the study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of SPRC-AB01 versus placebo for treatment of chronic sinusitis in subjects who have had sinus surgery.
The primary objective of the study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of Amphotericin B suspension versus placebo in the complete resolution of key chronic sinusitis symptoms during 16 weeks of treatment in patients with refractory, postsurgical CS.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Nasonex® (mometasone furoate nasal spray), when used together with an antibiotic, for the relief of symptoms associated with acute bacterial sinusitis. Efficacy will be based on both subjective (assessment of symptom severity by the patient) and objective measurements (computed tomography [CT] imaging of the sinuses).
Chronic sinusitis is a frequent complication in cystic fibrosis. The aim of this study is to determine whether Pulmozyme(dornase alfa) would maintain sinus health (compared to placebo) in patients with cystic fibrosis who have recently undergone sinus surgery.
To determine the efficacy and safety of ONO-1078 in patients with chronic sinusitis in a double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled, parallel group, multi-center study
