Overview
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn about the safety and effectiveness of Novabel bioabsorbable steroid-releasing stent in chronic sinusitis. The main questions it aims to answer are:
- The safety of this device for the chronic sinusitis
- The effectiveness of this device for the chronic sinusitis Participants will be implanted bioabsorbable steroid-releasing stents after FESS surgery. Participants will be asked to be back to the clinic for follow-up 14 days, 30 days, 90 days, 180 days and 360 days after procedure.
Researchers will compare test device and marketed device to see if the safety and effectiveness between these two devices are non-inferior.
Eligibility
Inclusion Criteria:
- Diagnose with CRS based on Chinese guidelines for diagnosis and treatment of chronic rhinosinusitis (2018), who were scheduled to undergo primary or revision bilateral ESS.
- Have evidence of bilateral sinus based on computed tomographic (CT) scan (Lund-Mackay [L-M] score of <=3 on each side).
- Can understand the purpose of this study and will to join and finish all the follow up according to the study. Sign the ICF.
Exclusion Criteria:
- Know history of allergy or intolerance to corticosteroids or mometasone furoate.
- The subject has a known allergic reaction or contraindication to the device material and its degradation products (L-polylactic acid, racemic polylactic acid, lactide lactate, lactic acid).
- Clinical evidence of cystic fibrosis, severe polyposis or sinonasal tumors.
- Clinical evidence of acute bacterial sinusitis or suspicion of invasive fungal sinusitis.
- Glaucoma, ocular hypertension, posterior subcapsular cataracts.
- Known history of immune deficiency or concurrent condition requiring active chemotherapy and/or immunotherapy management for the disease.
- Clinical evidence of disease or condition expected to compromise survival or ability to complete follow-up assessments during the 360 day follow-up period.
- Current ESS including frontal sinus surgery is aborted for any reason.
- Pregnant or lactating female
- Investigator determination that the potential study subject is unable to comply with study procedures and/or follow-up, or provided informed consent.
- Currently involved in another clinical study where that participation may conflict or interfere with the treatment, follow-up or results of the clinical study.
