Triple-Action nasal spray could ease chronic sinusitis
NCT ID NCT07635433
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This early-stage trial tests a nasal spray for adults with chronic sinusitis (without polyps). The spray contains stem cell exosomes to heal the nose lining, an antibiotic to kill bacteria, and an enzyme to break up thick mucus. 108 participants will use the spray twice daily for 4 weeks to check safety and see if it improves symptoms.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- A nasal spray containing stem cell exosomes, an antibiotic (mupirocin), and an enzyme (DNase I) in a gel that turns solid inside the nose
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could offer a new non-surgical option for people with chronic sinusitis, reducing infections and improving quality of life.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early phase 1 trial with only 108 people, so safety and effectiveness are not yet proven. The spray may cause side effects like nose irritation or allergic reactions.
