Brief Summary  

Title:

A multi-centric, placebo controlled, randomized, double-blind clinical trial to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Fenspiride in acute rhinosinusitis.

Study Phase:

Phase III

Objectives:

The aim of this clinical study is to investigate the efficacy of a 10 day treatment with fenspiride for therapy of acute rhinosinusitis (ARS) in adult patients.

Primary Objective

The primary objective is to assess the efficacy of fenspiride in relief of clinical symptoms of ARS.

Secondary Objective

The secondary objectives of this trial include

1.    To assess the efficacy of fenspiride in resolution of the clinical symptoms of ARS.

2.     To evaluate the safety of the investigational drug.

Study Design:

Multi-centric, Randomized, Double Blind, placebo controlled, parallel-group study.

Estimated Sample Size: 120

Study endpoints:

Primary Outcome

The primary outcomes in the study include

[1]       Symptom improvement: Defined as symptom scores less than or equal to 1 (i.e., mild or no symptoms) for all 5 major symptoms (rhinorrhea (anterior discharge), postnasal drip, nasal congestion, headache, facial pain/pressure) for MSS on Day 5 and Day 10.

[2]       Percentage of patients with signs of acute rhinosinusitis in CT scan of paranasal sinuses before and after therapy.

[3]       Reduction in SNOT 20 symptom scores after Day 5 and Day 10 of treatment.

Secondary Outcome

The various secondary outcomes of this study include

[1]       Proportion of patients with complete remission, defined a score of 0 for all 5 major symptoms: rhinorrhea (anterior discharge), postnasal drip, nasal congestion, headache, facial pain/pressure.

[2]       Mean Change from baseline over the entire treatment period in MSS: Change from baseline in MSS will be calculated as the MSS averaged over the entire treatment period minus the MSS over the baseline period (defined as the average MSS over the last 3 days prior to randomization).

[3]       Time to onset of action: Defined as the first day of active treatment on which S5 scoring was statistically significantly different from placebo and sustained thereafter.

[4]       The proportion of patients who require the use of an antibiotic due to the development of FBRS (Fulminant Bacterial Rhinosinusitis) during the 10 Day treatment period.

[5]       Assessment of therapy by investigator and patients at the end of the 10 Day treatment.

  [6]   Adverse events reported by the patients during the 10 Day treatment period.

Test Product :

Fenspiride (80 mg t.i.d) for 10 days

Comparator:

Placebo t.i.d for 10 days
