Trial Outcomes & Findings for The Impact Of The Addition Of Budesonide To Low-Pressure, High-Volume Saline Sinus Irrigation For Chronic Rhinosinusitis (NCT NCT02696850)

NCT ID: NCT02696850

Last Updated: 2019-09-03

Results Overview

The change in Sino-Nasal Outcome test (SNOT-22) scores between baseline and four weeks will serve as the primary outcome measure in this study and will be calculated as: Primary Outcome Measure, ∆SNOT-22 = SNOT-22 baseline - SNOT-22 4-week follow-up. The change in SNOT-22 score is measured on a scale from -110 to 110 with positive scores showing improvement with treatment and negative scores showing worse condition after treatment.

Measure
Budesonide
The study intervention will be budesonide powder (0.5 mg/capsule). Subjects will be required to dissolve the contents of two capsules into the 8-ounce (240 ml) NeilMed Sinus Rinse Regular Bottle along with the saline rinse. All subjects will be instructed to irrigate both right and left nasal cavity with one-half of the contents of the nasal rinse once daily for 30 days.. Each study bottle will contain 60 capsules of Budesonide and will be assigned with a number from 1-80. Budesonide: Participants will undergo 30-day treatment course that includes budesonide powder added to saline rinse.
Saline Alone
Each study bottle will contain 60 capsules of placebo, which is lactose monohydrate and will be supplied in clear plastic capsules identical to the budesonide capsules. Subjects will be required to dissolve the contents of two capsules into the 8-ounce (240 ml) NeilMed Sinus Rinse Regular Bottle along with the saline rinse. All subjects will be instructed to irrigate both right and left nasal cavity with one-half of the contents of the nasal rinse once daily for 30 days. Saline alone: Participants will undergo 30-day treatment course that includes lactose (placebo) powder added to saline rinse.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline to 4 weeks

The change in Sino-Nasal Outcome test (SNOT-22) scores between baseline and four weeks will serve as the primary outcome measure in this study and will be calculated as: Primary Outcome Measure, ∆SNOT-22 = SNOT-22 baseline - SNOT-22 4-week follow-up. The change in SNOT-22 score is measured on a scale from -110 to 110 with positive scores showing improvement with treatment and negative scores showing worse condition after treatment.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 4 weeks

Population: Reported counts of patients who self-reported "minimally improved," "much improved," or "very much improved"

The overall response to treatment will be measured with a modification of the Clinical Global Impression of change (CGI) scale. Upon completion of the study, subjects will be asked to answer the following question: "Overall, how would you rate your response to treatment?" Response options are: 1 = Very Much Improved, 2 = Much Improved, 3 = Minimally Improved, 4 = No Change, 5 = Minimally Worse, 6 = Much Worse, 7 = Very Much Worse. Higher scores mean worse response to treatment.

OTHER_PRE_SPECIFIED outcome

Timeframe: Baseline to 4 weeks

The change in Endoscopic Scores will be defined as the difference in the Lund-Kennedy Endoscopic score at baseline minus the Lund-Kennedy Endoscopic Score at 4 weeks and will be measured as the difference in scores on a scale that ranges from 0 to 20. Larger positive change reflects better response to treatment.
