Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Difference in FSO Patency by Blinded Reviewer
Side-to-side difference in frontal sinus ostium (FSO) patency at Day 45 based on cross-sectional area of FSO by computed tomography (CT) measurements performed by an independent, blinded reviewer. Cross-sectional area of FSO was measured via computer-assisted segmentation of CT images.
Day 45
Secondary Outcomes (17)
FSO Cross-sectional Area Change From Baseline on CT by an Independent, Blinded Reviewer
Baseline, Day 45, and Day 180
CT Frontal Sinus Outflow Tract (FSOT) Volume by Blinded Reviewer
Days 45 and 180
CT FSO Minimum Diameter by Blinded Reviewer
Days 45 and 180
CT Zinreich's Modified Lund-Mackay Score for the Frontal Sinus by Blinded Reviewer
Days 45 and 180
Number of Sinus Sides Requiring Post-operative Intervention by Clinical Investigators
Days 21, 45, 90 and 180
- +12 more secondary outcomes
Study Arms (2)
PROPEL Contour Sinus Implant
EXPERIMENTALFollowing successful in-office bilateral balloon dilation, placement of PROPEL Contour Sinus Implant in the randomized side.
Balloon Sinus Dilation Alone
ACTIVE COMPARATORFollowing successful in-office bilateral balloon dilation, placement of no implant on the contralateral side.
Interventions
370 mcg mometasone furoate-coated sinus implant
Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- Patient is 18 years of age or older.
- Patient is willing and able to comply with protocol requirements.
- Patient has confirmed diagnosis of CRS per International Consensus Statement on Allergy and Rhinology, Rhinosinusitis 2021 (ICAR:RS) guidelines.
- Bilateral disease in the frontal sinuses (Lund-Mackay CT score of ≥1 on each side) on CT scan within 90 days prior to the baseline.
- A successfully completed in-office bilateral balloon dilation of the FSO with no complication on either side that, in the opinion of the clinical investigator is amenable for PROPEL Contour Sinus Implant placement in both FSO
You may not qualify if:
- Patient has structural obstruction that precludes endoscopic visualization of one or both FSOs prior to implant placement.
- Expanded amount of ethmoid sinonasal polyps extending beyond the middle meatus (grade \> 2) unless reduced 30 days prior to the baseline procedure
- Oral-steroid dependent condition such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) or other conditions.
- Known history of allergy or intolerance to corticosteroids or mometasone furoate.
- Patients with a known hypersensitivity to lactide, glycolide or caprolactone copolymers.
- Patients with electronic devices in direct connection to the brain or the nervous system such as implantable neurostimulators (e.g. deep brain stimulation), programmable cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) shunts.
- Patients with monopolar pacemakers (older designs, with lower resistance to interference) or ICD's (implantable cardioverter defibrillator).
- Patients with implantable, body worn devices such as insulin pumps.
- Evidence of purulence coming from paranasal sinuses or ostiomeatal complex.
- Clinical evidence of acute bacterial sinusitis or invasive fungal sinusitis (e.g. bone erosion on prior CT scan, necrotic sinus tissue).
- Active viral illness (e.g., flu, shingles).
- Use of parenteral or injected steroids (e.g. Kenalog) 30 days prior to the baseline procedure.
- Use of oral steroids, budesonide or other sinus steroid irrigations/rinses or drops, nebulized steroids administered nasally 14 days prior to baseline procedure.

Limitations and Caveats
Per study eligibility criteria, participants were required to have a Lund-Mackay score ≥1 on both frontal sinus sides at baseline as assessed by clinical investigators. Only roughly half of participants met this criteria per independent, blinded review. This may confound results, as a Lund-Mackay score of ≥1 indicates CT evidence of sinonasal inflammation and is recommended as a precondition for surgery in the International Consensus Statement on Allergy and Rhinology: Rhinosinusitis 2021.
