Trial Outcomes & Findings for Duration of Antibiotic Therapy as Part of Maximal Medical Therapy for Chronic Rhinosinusitis (NCT NCT01825408)

NCT ID: NCT01825408

Last Updated: 2017-04-04

Results Overview

Recommendation for sinus surgery after completion of maximal medical therapy is determined by the subject's treating physician and is based on two citeria: (1) persistence of symptoms and (2) objective evidence of disease on post-treatment sinus CT scan or nasal endoscopy. Symptomatic improvement of sinusitis symptoms will be assessed by: patient self report, change in Chronic Sinusitis Survery (CSS) score and change in RhinoSinusitis Disibility Index (RSDI) score relative to initial pre-antibiotic CSS and RSDI survey scores.

Measure
Doxycycline, 3 Weeks
Subjects with chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) will receive Doxycycline 100mg BID or if allergic to doxycycline, then Augmentin 875mg BID for 3 weeks duration. These patients will also receive a course of Prednisone (30mg x 3d, 20mg x 3d, 10mg x3d, 10mg every other day for 6 days (3 doses)) which is standard of care treatment for patients with chronic sinusitis with nasal polyps. Doxycycline: Subjects with CRSwNP who are not allergic to doxycycline will receive Doxycycline 100mg BID for either 3 or 6 weeks duration. Augmentin: If a subject in any of the study arms is allergic to the medication he/she is supposed to receive, he/she will be given Augmentin 875mg BID for either 3 or 6 weeks duration
Doxycycline, 6 Weeks
Subjects with Chronic Rhinosinusitis with Nasal Polyps (CRSwNP)will receive Doxycycline 100mg BID or if allergic to doxycycline, then Augmentin 875mg BID for 6 weeks duration.

Azithromycin, 3 Weeks
Subjects with Chronic Rhinosinusitis without Nasal Polyps will receive Azithromycin 250mg daily, or if allergic to azithromycin, then Augmentin 875mg BID for 3 weeks duration. Azithromycin: Subjects with CRS without Nasal Polyposis (CRSwNP)who are not allergic to azithromycin will be given Azithromycin 250mg daily for either 3 or 6 weeks duration. Augmentin: If a subject in any of the study arms is allergic to the medication he/she is supposed to receive, he/she will be given Augmentin 875mg BID for either 3 or 6 weeks duration
Azithromycin, 6 Weeks

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 4-5 weeks after starting antibiotics

Recommendation for sinus surgery after completion of maximal medical therapy is determined by the subject's treating physician and is based on two citeria: (1) persistence of symptoms and (2) objective evidence of disease on post-treatment sinus CT scan or nasal endoscopy. Symptomatic improvement of sinusitis symptoms will be assessed by: patient self report, change in Chronic Sinusitis Survery (CSS) score and change in RhinoSinusitis Disibility Index (RSDI) score relative to initial pre-antibiotic CSS and RSDI survey scores.
