Trial Outcomes & Findings for The PIO II Study: In-office Post-op Placement of a Steroid-eluting Sinus Implant (NCT NCT02668302)

NCT ID: NCT02668302

Last Updated: 2018-10-12

Results Overview

Inflammation score was determined at baseline and Day 90 using a visual analogue scale (VAS), ranging from 0 (no visible inflammation) to 100 (severe inflammation, involving significant and extensive erythema and edema and/or hypertrophy and/or polypoid changes), as determined by an independent sinus surgeon based on a centralized, blinded video-endoscopy review.

Participant Flow

A total of 45 patients were recruited at one clinical site between November 9, 2015 and May 24, 2016, of whom 40 met final eligibility.

Participants underwent endoscopic sinus surgery, including bilateral ethmoidectomy with middle meatal antrostomy. Concurrent septoplasty and surgical treatment of the other paranasal sinuses were also permitted. Participants returned at 7 days post-op and those meeting final eligibility underwent baseline assessment and group assignment.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Change from baseline to Day 90

Population: Intent-to-treat population (all randomized participants). Values adjusted for any surgical or steroid intervention by caring forward last observation before intervention. Scores for 9 participants (7 treatment, 2 control) were missing because the video-endoscopies for those participants had insufficient content to allow grading.

Inflammation score was determined at baseline and Day 90 using a visual analogue scale (VAS), ranging from 0 (no visible inflammation) to 100 (severe inflammation, involving significant and extensive erythema and edema and/or hypertrophy and/or polypoid changes), as determined by an independent sinus surgeon based on a centralized, blinded video-endoscopy review.
