NCT ID NCT05857228
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study investigates why some people develop chronic sinusitis with nasal polyps, focusing on how epigenetic changes and viruses might trigger the disease. Researchers will analyze tissue samples from 60 participants, including patients with active disease, those in remission, and healthy volunteers. The goal is to find new biomarkers and viral links that could lead to better treatments.
