Filter by:Chronic rhinosinusitis is a common disease that effects millions of people world wide. Despite its frequency it is unclear what treatment options are the best for these patients. Typically patients with chronic rhinosinusitis without nasal polyps (CRSsNP) are given a long term antibiotic (3 weeks), nasal steroid sprays, saline nasal irrigation and occasionally oral steroids. Oral steroids benefit patients with chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) however their role in non polyp patients is less clear. It is the goal of this study to see if oral steroids benefit the treatment outcomes in those patients with chronic rhinosinusitis without nasal polyps. In addition this study will look to see if a short course (5 day burst) versus a longer course (21 day taper) of oral steroids make a difference in outcomes.
Primary Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of dupilumab 300 milligram (mg) every 2 weeks (q2w) compared to placebo on a background of mometasone furoate nasal spray (MFNS) in reducing nasal congestion/obstruction (NC) severity and endoscopic nasal polyp score (NPS) in participants with bilateral nasal polyposis (NP). In addition for Japan participants, reduction in computed tomography (CT) scan opacification of the sinuses was a coprimary objective. Secondary Objectives: - To evaluate the efficacy of dupilumab in improving total symptoms score (TSS). - To evaluate the efficacy of dupilumab in improving sense of smell. - To evaluate the efficacy of dupilumab in reducing CT scan opacification of the sinuses (primary objective for Japan). - To evaluate ability of dupilumab in reducing proportion of participants requiring treatment with systemic corticosteroids or NP surgery. - To evaluate the effect of dupilumab on participant reported outcomes and health related quality of life outcome by sinonasal outcome test-22 (SNOT-22). - To evaluate the effect of dupilumab in the subgroups of participants with prior surgery and co-morbid asthma (including non-steroid antiinflammatory drug [NSAID] exacerbated respiratory disease [ERD]). - To evaluate residual effect in follow up. - To evaluate the safety of dupilumab in participants with bilateral NP. - To evaluate functional dupilumab concentrations (systemic exposure) and incidence of treatment-emergent anti-drug antibodies.

Nasal symptoms are the main elements that lead to a therapeutic decision and allow for evaluating treatment effects or natural evolution. Despite availability of several questionnaires with good measurement qualities, no systematic assessment takes into account the specific physical and psychosocial consequences of each of the six main nasal symptoms, independently of the disease. The study proposed to measure these symptoms with the use of a selfreport questionnaire and to test the validity of the questionnaire in a large representative sample of patients attending outpatient rhinologic clinics.
To evaluate the efficacy of an anti-inflammatory agent compared with placebo in relieving signs and symptoms of disease in patients with sinusitis.
Endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS) has become the standard of care for patients suffering of chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyposis (CRSwP) who have failed medical therapy. The goal of surgery is now to widely marsupialize the sinus cavities in order to optimize topical steroid irrigation treatment in the postoperative period. With that being said, the true extent of surgery needed for optimal patient outcome has yet to be elucidated. More specifically, in the last 30 years, people have argued about the best way to manage the middle turbinate. Some state that it should be preserved at all times to protect the sinus cavities from inhaled irritants and allergens and keep this surgical landmark untouched for future surgeries. On the other hand, there are defenders of routine resection of this turbinate, whether it is affected by polypoid changes or not. Many studies have looked at the potential risks of resecting the middle turbinates such as iatrogenic frontal sinusitis, anosmia, or atrophic rhinitis but the more recent literature does not show such significant associations. A recent topic of debate is whether partial removal of the anterior and inferior portion of the middle turbinate affects nasal polyps recurrence or improves long-term outcomes by further facilitation of post-operative topical therapies. Some retrospective data has shown that its resection could prolong the time before the need for revision surgery and improve both endoscopic and olfaction scores. A few prospective studies have also been published but unfortunately none of these were randomized, thus introducing a significant selection bias. Thus, there is a need for a formal randomized, controlled trial to elucidate this question.
Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) with nasal polyps is a particularly challenging form of chronic rhinosinusitis in several ways. Patients have significantly more severe symptom burden and worse quality of life than patients with chronic rhinosinusitis without nasal polyps. Many patients return to the health care providers with persistent symptoms after repeated medical and surgical treatment. Patients have usually tried several different types of treatments, ranging from less invasive procedures to extensive surgical treatment. The surgical treatment is often repeated several times. The most common surgical treatment is functional endoscopic sinus surgery, another established procedure is Vidian neurectomy. The main object of this pilot study is to investigate the safety of onabotulinumtoxin A towards the sphenopalatine ganglion (SPG) in CRS patients with nasal polyps. Efficacy data will also be collected to provide indication on whether future placebo-controlled studies should be performed. Onabotulinumtoxin A inhibits the secretion of acetylcholine, blocking the parasympathetic reflex cascade in the SPG. As a result, the investigators expect less mucosal swelling, secretion and nasal polyps. The duration of such a blockade is believed to last for 3-9 months and will not lead to damage of the nerve. This study opens up for improved treatment with less complications.
