Efficacy and Safety for Medicurtain® in Prevention of Adhesion After Endoscopic Sinus Surgery (Pivotal Study)

Sinusitis Clinical Trial

Official title: A Multi Center, Randomized, Single Blind, Assessor Blind, Matched Pair Design Clinical Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety for Medicurtain® in Prevention of Adhesion After Endoscopic Sinus Surgery

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

This clinical trial is to prove that the treatment group of Medicurtain® is non-inferior to the treatment group of Guardix-sol®, test equipment on adhesion after endoscopic sinus surgery, upon the aspects of adhesion prevention efficacy and safety.

Clinical Trial Description

This clinical trial was conducted based on multi center, randomized, assessor blind, matched pair design, active-controlled clinical study. After signing consent and fulfilling the standards for selection/exclusion, test subjects went through required treatments following endoscopic surgery; subsequently, according to the order of registration after 2 to 3 days from the surgery, the subjects were applied with a medical device for the clinical test and a medical device for the control test to both of their nasal cavities based on randomization.

For procedures, bleeding was treated and prevented through packing, by soaking Merocel with saline solution following the ESS (Endoscopic sinus surgery) on subjects; and after 2 to 3 days (or upon discharge), it was to treat applied regions of the subjects with assigned medical device after confirming sufficient hemostasis by removing Merocel. Being matched pair active-controlled clinical study, this clinical trial was designed to treat a single subject with both medical devices for clinical test and control test where it was kept unknown which device would be assigned to which nasal cavity based on randomization until the procedure was actually performed. For the time and method of evaluation, observation and evaluation were allowed to be conducted based on the images through endoscopy when subjects visited at 1st, 2nd and 4th weeks following the treatment with medical device. The process of procedure was assured for an identical researcher to perform procedures in order to minimize the effect from the procedure method.

All endoscopic image records of test subjects were delivered by independent assessors, while information on medical device used for treatment was excluded; and independent assessors evaluated each image record according to the evaluation standards prescribed by this clinical trial.

Based on the determination of the researcher during and following the surgery, subjects were administered with 2nd or 3rd generation Cephalosporin Antibiotics. Following the surgery, subjects were instructed to use normal saline solution nasal spray 2 to 3 times a day on both nasal cavities by utilizing bulb-shape tube or syringe. In addition, subjects were also instructed to use intranasal steroid sprays. ;
