12-Month OL Intranasal Fluticasone Propionate BID Using OptiNose Device

Completed · Phase 3

Conditions studied: Nasal Polyps

In brief

This is an open-label, multicenter study designed to assess the safety of intranasal administration of 400 μg of fluticasone propionate twice a day delivered by the OptiNose device in subjects with chronic sinusitis with or without nasal polyps. The study consists of an up-to-7-day pretreatment phase followed a 12-month open-label treatment phase. The duration of each subject's participation is approximately 53 weeks.

• Women of child-bearing potential must have a negative serum beta-human chorionic gonadotropin (β-hCG) pregnancy test at the screening visit

• Must be capable, in the opinion of the investigator, of providing informed consent to participate in the study. Subjects must sign an informed consent document indicating that they understand the purpose of and procedures required for the study and are willing to participate in the study.
