Brief summary

The purpose of this study is to show clinically meaningful improvement in symptom severity after transnasal balloon dilation of the maxillary sinus outflow tract with or without balloon dilation of the frontal or sphenoid sinuses.

Detailed description

This is a prospective, non-randomized, single arm, post-approval study conducted under a common protocol designed to evaluate outcomes following trans-nasal balloon dilation of the maxillary sinus outflow tract with or without concurrent balloon dilation of the frontal or sphenoid sinuses and without any concomitant conventional sinus surgery (ie, uncinectomy, complete or partial ethmoidectomy).

Inclusion criteria

1. Be at least age 18 years old or older. 2. Be a candidate for transnasal balloon dilation of the maxillary sinus(es) with or without balloon dilation of the frontal or sphenoid sinus(es) using XprESS consistent with the device's Indication for Use. 3. Have a sinus CT scan within 12 months of the procedure date. 4. Be able and willing to provide consent. 5. Be willing to comply with the protocol requirements.

Exclusion criteria

1. Have any prior maxillary sinus surgery (eg, antrostomy, uncinectomy). 2. Require any concomitant endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS) or nasal surgery (exception: turbinate reduction) at the time of the study procedure. 3. Have any nasal surgery (eg, septoplasty) or nonmaxillary sinus surgery (eg, frontal sinusotomy, sphenoidotomy, full/partial ethmoidectomy) performed within 3 months prior to enrollment. 4. Have presence of features consistent with sinus fungal disease. 5. Be allergic to nickel or barium sulfate. 6. Be currently participating in any other drug or device clinical studies excluding postapproval or marketing registry studies.

MeasureTime frameDescription
Change in SNOT-20 ScoreBaseline and 1-year post procedureThe 20-item Sino-Nasal Outcomes Test (SNOT-20) is a validated patient-reported outcome measure for assessing the presence and severity of symptoms of chronic rhinosinusitis. Symptoms on the SNOT-20 survey are each rated on a scale from 0 (no problem) to 5 (problem as bad as it can be) and the 20 symptom scores are averaged to provide a total score ranging from 0 to 5. The minimal clinically important difference in the SNOT-20 has been determined to be a reduction greater or equal to 0.8 in the total SNOT-20 score.

Change in SNOT-20 Score

The 20-item Sino-Nasal Outcomes Test (SNOT-20) is a validated patient-reported outcome measure for assessing the presence and severity of symptoms of chronic rhinosinusitis. Symptoms on the SNOT-20 survey are each rated on a scale from 0 (no problem) to 5 (problem as bad as it can be) and the 20 symptom scores are averaged to provide a total score ranging from 0 to 5. The minimal clinically important difference in the SNOT-20 has been determined to be a reduction greater or equal to 0.8 in the total SNOT-20 score.

Time frame: Baseline and 1-year post procedure

Population: All participants who had 1 or more sinuses successfully treated with the XprESS device and both baseline and 1-year follow-up SNOT-20 scores available for analysis.

Comparison: Study sample size was established to test the hypothesis that the mean SNOT-20 score is reduced by at least 0.8 points from baseline to 1 year post procedure. Using this delta, a 1-sided alpha of 0.25, and 90% power, a sample size of 19 participants was adequate to test the hypothesis.p-value: <0.0001t-test, 2 sided
