Participant Flow

Patients were enrolled between January 2013 and November 2013 at 18 clinical sites (12 private, 6 academic).

A total of 100 patients were enrolled and randomized. met final eligibility. There was a 2-week run-in period before screening during which participants were required to use an intranasal corticosteroid spray.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 90 days

Population: Intent-to-treat population. Values were adjusted for steroid and surgical interventions by LOCF approach. There were 3 (3%) participants (1 treatment, 2 control) with missing values at Day 90. No imputation of missing values was performed.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 90 days

Population: Intent-to-treat population. Values were adjusted for steroid and surgical interventions by LOCF approach. There were 2 (2%) participants (2 treatment, 0 control) with missing values. No imputation of missing values was performed. Negative values for change from baseline represent improvement.

Polyp grade was determined by a panel of 3 independent sinus surgeons based on a centralized, blinded videoendoscopy review. Each sinus was graded from 0 (no visible polyps) to 4 (nasal polyps completely obstructing nasal cavity) and then the left and right values were added to obtain a total bilateral polyp grade, ranging from 0 to 8. Negative values for change from baseline represented reduction (improvement) in bilateral polyp grade.

Percentage of the ethmoid sinus volume obstructed by scarring, polyps, or edema on endoscopy, as determined by a panel of 3 independent sinus surgeons based on a centralized, blinded videoendoscopy review using a 100-mm visual analogue scale (VAS), ranging from 0 (absence of obstruction) to 100 (complete obstruction). Negative values for change from baseline represented reduction (improvement) in ethmoid sinus obstruction.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 90 days, 6 months

Population: Intent-to-treat population. Values were adjusted for steroid and surgical interventions by LOCF approach. There were 3 (3.0%) participants (1 treatment, 2 control) with missing values at 90 days and 4 (4.0%) participants (2 treatment, 2 control) with missing values at Month 6. No imputation of missing values was performed.

Polyps were graded by clinical investigators on a scale from 0 (no visible polyps) to 4 (nasal polyps completely obstructing nasal cavity) and then the left and right values were added to obtain a total bilateral polyp grade, ranging from 0 to 8. Negative values for change from baseline indicate reduction (improvement) in nasal polyps.

NOSE scale is a validated symptom scoring instrument consisting of 5 questions each scored by patients on a 5-point Likert scale from 0 (not a problem) to 4 (severe problem), then multiplied by 5 and resulting in a total score ranging from 0 to 100. Negative values for change from baseline represented reduction (improvement) in NOSE score.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 90 days, 6 months

Population: Intent-to-treat population consisted of all patients in whom an implant or sham procedure was attempted. There were 2 (2.0%) participants (1 treatment, 1 control) who withdrew from the study prior to Day 90. No imputation of missing values was performed.

To be indicated for RESS, the following criteria had to be met: * Continued to use topical intranasal steroids daily; * Continued to complain of at least 2 symptoms of chronic sinusitis despite ongoing topical intranasal steroid use * Needed or had received at least 1 course of aggressive steroid therapy or had refused such therapy due to intolerance/side effects; and * Had endoscopic evidence of persisting ethmoid sinus obstruction (bilateral polyp grade \>=2 on at least one side)
