Summary

This study will assess the effectiveness of MEDIHONEY® sinus rinses (alone or in combination with intranasal corticosteroids) vs. intranasal corticosteroid sinus rinses on mucosal healing and polyp recurrence in the post-operative period following functional endoscopic sinus surgery.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria

  • Age 18 years or older;
  • Diagnosis of CRSwNP based on the following criteria:
  • Pattern of symptoms:

i. Symptoms present for ≥12 wk

  • Symptoms for diagnosis: Requires ≥2 of the following symptoms:

i. Anterior and/or posterior mucopurulent drainage; ii. Nasal obstruction; iii. Facial pain/pressure/fullness;

  • Objective documentation: Requires both:
  • Endoscopy to verify the presence of polyps in middle meatus and document presence of inflammation, such as discolored mucus or edema of middle meatus or ethmoid area; and
  • Evidence of rhinosinusitis on imaging by CT (1 obvious polypoid tissue or sinus opacification and/or at least 2mm of mucosal thickening).
  • Failed medical management (i.e. refractory CRSwNP) and eligible for FESS.

Exclusion Criteria

  • Contraindications to oral prednisone or known hypersensitivity to any study medications;
  • Churg Strauss disorder;
  • abnormalities of mucociliary clearance (cystic fibrosis, primary ciliary dyskinesia and Young's syndrome);
  • Diagnosed immunodeficiency;
  • Aspirin-induced asthma (ASA) (aka Samter triad) (a triad of asthma, aspirin and NSAID sensitivity, and nasal/ethmoidal polyposis).
