Registration Number
NCT04158596
Lead Sponsor
SynDermix AG
Brief Summary

The purpose of this clinical trial is to assess the safety and efficacy of SDX-3101 for treatment of adult patients with chronic rhinosinusitis without nasal polyps (CRSsNP) by investigating a vibration pattern of SDX-3101 compared to a control

Detailed Description

Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) is a common disease (e.g. 11% of adults in the UK report symptoms of CRS) leading to substantial health and socioeconomic burden with estimated healthcare costs in the USA of $772/patient/year (2011).

CRS is characterised by the long-term presence of multiple symptoms including facial pain/pressure in about 80% of CRS patients. Factors contributing to the pathophysiology of adult CRS include allergies, bacterial biofilms, asthma and exposure to various environmental pollutants. Computed tomography (CT) scans are often used to identify mucosal thickening and to identify any comorbid factors such as anatomic abnormalities.

It is known from the literature that low vibration frequency can improve blood flow, significantly reduce inflammation, and increase the fibroblast activity \[13\]. Therefore, SynDermix AG created the innovative high-technology, portable medical device SDX-3101 targeting a disease with high unmet medical need. The device offers a drug-free or eventually an add on treatment complying with the maximum demands of safety for the patients potentially avoiding undesirable drug effects or surgery. SDX-3101 is indicated for treatment of CRSsNP in adults

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
SNOT-20 GAV12 weeks

The primary endpoint is the change in subjective symptoms as quantified by the German validated disease-specific 20-item Sino-nasal Outcome Test (SNOT-20 GAV) after 12 weeks. Superiority is defined as more than minimal clinically important difference (MCID) of 8.9 points to active control of SNOT-20 score at 12 weeks.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Overall disease controlday 14, week 6, 12 and at 6, 9 and 12 months

Need for systemic medication, steroid or antibiotic, number of days

Lund-Kennedy Scoreday 0, day 14, week 6, 12 and at 6, 9 and 12 months

We use the Lund-Kennedy endoscopic scoring system to measure the patient's nasal cavity based on there were edema, vesicles, adhesions, scars and polyps

Need for surgical interventionday 14, week 6, 12 and at 6, 9 and 12 months

Capture surgical intervention

Ability to perform normal activitiesday 0, day 14, week 6, 12 and at 6, 9 and 12 months,

Measured with the SNOT-20 GAV

Acceptability of treatmentday 14, week 6, 12 and at 6, 9 and 12 months

Measurement of Visual Analogue Scale 0 to 5, 0 is unacceptable to 5 fully accepted

Overall score SNOT-20day 0, day 14, week 6, 12 and at 6, 9 and 12 months

The SNOT-20 has a maximum score of 100 and a minimum score of 0. Higher values represent a worse outcome

Global impression by investigatorday 0, week 6, 12 and at 12 months,

Measured with Visual Analogue Scale 0 to 10, 0 is unsatisfactory 10 is optimal outcome

Pain in the faceday 0, day 14, week 6, 12 and at 6, 9 and 12 months

Measured on a 4-point scale, (0=no symptoms; 1=mild symptoms present, but not troublesome; 2=moderate symptoms that were frequently troublesome but not sufficiently so to interfere with normal daily activities or sleep; 3=severe symptoms that interfered with normal daily activities or sleep)
