Trial Outcomes & Findings for A Clinical Evaluation of the Intersect ENT Sinus Device (ASCEND) (NCT NCT03599271)

Last Updated: 2021-05-26

Results Overview

Difference in the patency grade of the FSO between treatment sides at Day 30, as determined by an independent, blinded sinus surgeon based on the centralized video-endoscopy review. Patency of the FSO assessed endoscopically by probing with a 3-mm olive-shaped frontal sinus suction tip ("suction tip") and graded on a 5-point scale as follows - 0: Occluded (no opening visible); 1: Significantly stenosed (not occluded, but unable to pass the 3-mm suction tip); 2: Moderately stenosed (able to easily pass the 3-mm suction tip with no additional space around it); 3: Minimally stenosed (able to easily pass the 3-mm suction tip with additional 1-2 mm space around it); 4: Completely patent (able to easily pass the 3-mm suction tip with additional \>2 mm space around it)

SNOT-22 is a validated, disease-specific, symptom-scoring instrument consisting of 22 questions, each scored by patient on a 6-point scale as follows: 0: No problem; 1: Very mild problem; 2: Mild or slight problem; 3: Moderate problem; 4: Severe problem; 5: Problem as bad as it can be. Sum of all 22 questions constitutes the total SNOT-22 score with a maximum total score equal to 110.
