NCT ID NCT07692243

First seen Jul 09, 2026 · Last updated Jul 10, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This observational study aims to create a detailed map of the lining of the nose and sinuses by comparing tissue samples from different areas. Researchers will collect samples from adults undergoing sinus surgery, including those with and without inflammatory disease. By analyzing tissue structure, gene activity, and immune cells, they hope to identify site-specific features that could improve understanding of conditions like chronic sinusitis and nasal polyps.
