Official title
Prospective Multicenter Before-After Study in Children and Adults Treated for Acute Nasal Obstruction With RHINOSEDAL
Overview
This prospective, multicenter, national, observational, non-interventional post-market clinical follow-up study evaluates the performance and safety of RHINOSEDAL in children and adults presenting with acute nasal obstruction associated with common cold, allergic or non-allergic rhinitis, or rhinosinusitis. Patients prescribed RHINOSEDAL in routine care will be followed for 6 ±1 days using patient-reported outcome measures including the NOSE score.
Detailed description
RHINOSEDAL is a CE-marked class IIa medical device indicated in adults and children older than 2 years to relieve nasal congestion through an osmotic mechanism in cases of common cold, allergic or non-allergic rhinitis, and sinusitis. This prospective observational study is conducted in real-life conditions of use in French general practice. The decision to prescribe RHINOSEDAL is made before and independently from study participation. Patients aged 8 years and older with acute nasal obstruction evolving for less than 48 hours and baseline NOSE score \>40/100 will be included. Patients will complete a self-assessment diary from Day 1 to Day 6 ±1. The primary endpoint is the proportion of patients achieving a decrease greater than 24 mm in the NOSE score between baseline Day 0 and the Day 3 evening assessment. Secondary endpoints include additional NOSE responder analyses, daily NOSE evolution, individual NOSE item evolution, social activity impairment, patient global assessment of effectiveness, associated signs, safety, device deficiencies, and compliance.
Interventions
- Device RHINOSEDAL
RHINOSEDAL is a ready-to-use hypertonic nasal spray containing natural sea water, tamarind extract and mallow extract. It acts mechanically through osmotic decongestion and cleansing of the upper airways. It is used according to the instructions for use and physician prescription.
Primary outcome measures
- NOSE responder rate at Day 3 [Time frame: Day 3 evening]
Secondary outcome measures (8)
- NOSE responder rate at Day 6 or end of study [Time frame: Day 6 ±1 day or early termination]
- Daily evolution of total NOSE score [Time frame: Day 0 to Day 6 ±1 day or early termination]
- Daily evolution of each NOSE questionnaire item [Time frame: Day 0 to Day 6 ±1 day or early termination]
- Daily evolution of social activity impairment [Time frame: Day 0 to Day 6 ±1 day or early termination]
- Patient global assessment of effectiveness [Time frame: End of study visit at Day 6 ±1 day or early termination]
- Evolution of associated signs [Time frame: Day 0 to Day 6 ±1 day or early termination]
- Adverse events, serious adverse events, incidents and device deficiencies [Time frame: Inclusion to Day 6 ±1 day or early termination]
- Compliance / RHINOSEDAL use [Time frame: Day 0 to Day 6 ±1 day or early termination]
