Trial Outcomes & Findings for Safety and Performance of ENTACT Septal Staple System for Septoplasty (NCT NCT04392583)

NCT ID: NCT04392583

Last Updated: 2022-06-15

Results Overview

At the 21-day follow-up visit, the clinician examined the participant's nasal cavity and confirmed YES or NO: * Septum wall straight appearance (yes/no) * Complete coaptation of perichondrial flaps on septum wall (yes/no) * Absence of significant local tissue reaction at the staple site (yes/no) * Absence of hematoma swelling at the staple site (yes/no) * No need for re-intervention at the surgery site (yes/no) If all the answers to the questions above were "YES" then clinical success was inferred (if any answer was "NO" then repair failure was inferred).

Timeframe: Day: 0 (Screening), 5, 21 and 42

Population: The Full Analysis Set (FAS) included participants enrolled in the study that had at least one post-baseline visit and were able to provide available data at the time frame specified. Last Observation Carried Forward (LOCF) method was only used to carry forward post-baseline data.

The Nasal Obstruction Symptom Evaluation (NOSE) scale is a patient reported outcome (PRO). The NOSE Scale allows participants to quantify their symptoms based on the severity of their nasal obstruction/congestion. The NOSE score range was 0-100 were 0 represented no obstruction (i.e., better outcome) and 100 represented extreme obstruction (i.e., worse outcome).

The Visual Analog Scale (VAS) for pain is a continuous scale completed by the participant who is asked to place a line perpendicular to the VAS line at the point that represents their pain intensity. Scores range from 0-100 where a score of 0 represented no pain and a score of 100 indicated the worst pain possible.
