Filter by:The study will be conducted to identify factors predicting the response of chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps ( CRSwNP) to oral corticosteroids.
This is a parallel, Phase 2, 2-arm, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, proof-of-concept study for treatment of CRSwNP. The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of add-on therapy with subcutaneous lunsekimig in adult participants (aged 18 to 70 years, inclusive) with CRSwNP who are inadequately controlled on intranasal corticosteroid treatment. Participants with and without co-morbid asthma will be included in the study, and lung function will be assessed in both groups. The study duration will be up to approximately 40 weeks per participant, including 4 weeks of screening run-in period, 24 weeks of intervention period, and 12 weeks of follow-up.
This study aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of TQC2731 injection in the treatment of chronic sinusitis with nasal polyps.
This is a multicenter, randomized, continuing, Phase II expansion trial to evaluate the safety, efficacy, and immunogenicity of two doses of TQH2722 in the long-term treatment of severe chronic sinusitis with or without nasal polyps.
This is a multi-center, randomized, double blind, placebo-controlled Phase II study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of CM326, and to observe the Pharmacokinetics, Pharmacodynamics and immumogenicity of CM326 in patients with chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyposis (CRSwNP).
Chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyposis (CRSwNP) is a complex chronic inflammatory disease of the nasosinusal mucosa that has a significant negative impact on patients' quality of life. In CRSwNP, chronic inflammation is primarily driven by type 2 pro-inflammatory interleukins (ILs )such as IL-5, IL-4, and IL-13 along- side high levels of eosinophils in the surrounding tissue. Mepolizumab is a targeted, humanized anti-IL-5 antibody that prevents IL-5 from binding to its receptor on eosinophils and selectively inhibits eosinophilic inflammation. So far, randomized clinical trials have assessed efficacy and safety of Mepolizumab in a large number of patients, whereas evidences in real life clinical practice are limited to few monocentric series. Herewith, we present a multicenter, observational, prospective/retrospective nationwide real-life study with the aim to confirm the effectiveness and the safety of Mepolizumab over the first year of treatment in a real life setting. The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the reduction of dimension of nasal polyps and the improvement of quality of life in the patient measured through symptomatologic questionnaires. The secondary objective is to evaluate improvements in terms of smell dysfunction, comorbidities, biomarkers (nasal cytology and blood eosinophilia), need of surgery or systemic steroids.
Nasal microorganisms, exfoliated cells, nasal secretions, fetal microorganisms and blood were collected from patients with chronic sinusitis with nasal polyps before medication. Nasal polyp tissues of the patients were clamped for pathologic biopsy in the outpatient clinic. Methylprednisolone was then administered to the patients for 17 days, and the nasal microbial changes were observed after the administration of the drug. Patients underwent surgical treatment after the administration of the drug, and postoperative patients were followed up for a long period of time until polyp recurrence. During the follow-up, the microorganisms in the patients' postoperative nasal cavities were collected and the postoperative microbial changes were recorded
Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) is a multifactorial disease characterized by persistent symptomatic inflammation of the mucosa of the nose and paranasal sinuses, with (CRSwNP) or without (CRSsNP) the presence of nasal polyps. It affects 5 to 12% of the general population. CRS is often associated with asthma, which has a prevalence of 4% in the general population, reaching 30%-70% among patients with CRS. The current standard clinical evaluation of patients for both diseases has two main components: a subjective one (self-assessment provided by the patient), based mainly on the PROMs (Patient-Reported Outcome Measures) questionnaire, and an objective one (formulated by the clinician). Questionnaires present accuracy and response rate problems that have been investigated in the literature, finding that short questionnaires, incentives, personalization of questionnaires as well as repeat sending strategies or telephone reminders have a beneficial impact on the quantity and quality of responses. Today there are many new channels provided by technology. Among them, AI chatbots have been used in a variety of healthcare domains such as medical consultations, disease diagnosis, mental health support and, more recently, risk communications for the COVID-19 pandemic, and can offer a better way to collect questionnaires. At the same time, the recent technical solution of new non-invasive techniques for RFID radio frequency identification devices allows subjective reports to be accompanied with objective reports. The PRECISION project aims to evaluate systems for home monitoring of chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) and asthma, two highly prevalent chronic diseases. The frequent association between the two pathological conditions is a further argument in support of the rationality of a common approach. As regards the collection of PROMs, three acquisition channels will be compared: i) AI Chatbots; ii) PhoneBot; iii) Mobile application. Data will be analyzed in relation to patient profiles to define the quality and quality of response. Regarding objective evaluation, the project will investigate the efficiency of objective remote airflow measurements for both upper (CRS) and lower (asthma) airways using dedicated non-invasive systems based on RFID technology.
The endoscopic surgery of the paranasal sinuses (FESS) requires careful control of arterial pressure to prevent bleeding of the nasal mucosa that may lead to a reduction in the visual field. However, controlled reversible hypotension has been associated with phenomena of peripheral hypoperfusion with possible organ damage on an ischemic basis. Based on the data available in the literature, a mean arterial pressure (MAP) target between 50 and 65 mmHg is considered acceptable. Although blood pressure control is generally ensured through intravenous pharmacological approaches, there is evidence of efficacy with the use of Auriculotherapy medical devices (stimulation of specific points in the ear through the application of Magnetic ball plasters). Proposed pharmacological choices to achieve this result have been multiple, although totally intravenous anesthesia with propofol and opioids seems to be more effective than balanced anesthesia with halogenated agents and opioids. However, this fundamental option requires the administration of antihypertensive drugs to achieve the blood pressure target. Despite common contraindications to individual pharmacological classes, various active principles have been compared. Among these, continuous low-dose nitroglycerin infusion has proven effective due to titratability linked to its short half-life, perioperative complications, and better conditions of peripheral perfusion compared to beta-blockers such as labetalol or esmolol. Based on existing literature data, in our hospital, general anesthesia is typically conducted with intravenous techniques and the continuous administration of low doses of nitroglycerin in continuous infusion (0.01-2 mcg/kg/min). Despite the low dosages, this drug can be burdened with dosage-dependent adverse effects such as orthostatic hypotension, tachycardia, or headache. To reduce the dosage of nitroglycerin, we have borrowed from different contexts hypotensive auriculotherapy techniques (stimulation of specific ear points through the application of magnetic ball plasters), which have proven effective in managing systemic pressure in patients with essential hypertension. These non-pharmacological techniques, already used during general anesthesia for the management of nausea and pain, could prove promising in reducing the use of antihypertensive drugs even in the intraoperative context. The primary hypothesis of our study is that the use of Auriculotherapy medical devices is effective in achieving a hypotensive effect in patients undergoing general anesthesia during FESS surgery.
