Non-Invasive probe spots tough nasal polyps in seconds
NCT ID NCT07125586
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a new, non-invasive device that uses a special light to quickly identify a hard-to-treat type of nasal polyp called eosinophilic CRSwNP. Currently, diagnosing this subtype requires surgery to take a tissue sample, which can delay treatment. The device shines a safe light on the polyp during a clinic visit and analyzes the glow to give a diagnosis in real time. Researchers will enroll 353 adults with nasal polyps to see how accurate and safe the system is compared to standard lab tests.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- High-sensitivity spectroscopy with autofluorescence diagnostic system
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could allow doctors to diagnose a hard-to-treat subtype of nasal polyps before surgery, leading to more personalized treatment and fewer unnecessary operations.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early-stage diagnostic study, not a treatment trial. The system may not be accurate enough in real-world use, and it only helps with diagnosis, not with curing the condition.

Inclusion Criteria: 1. Male and female subjects aged 18 to 65 years old 2. Subjects diagnosed with CRSwNP by nasal endoscopy, CT, or MRI preoperatively (in accordance with the diagnostic criteria of EPOS 2020) 3. Normal coagulation function (prothrombin time \[PT\], activated partial thromboplastin time \[APTT\], and platelet count are within the normal range) 4. No severe cardiopulmonary dysfunction or other comorbidities that affect the tolerance of general anesthesia and surgery 5. Women of childbearing age must take appropriate medical contraceptive measures during the study period and within 4 weeks after the end of the trial treatment 6. Patients with good compliance, who voluntarily participate in this clinical study and sign the informed consent form. Exclusion Criteria: 1. Patients with other nasal and paranasal sinus diseases excluding chronic rhinosinusitis (such as nasal tumors, fungal sinusitis, and post-traumatic nasal deformities) 2. Patients with coagulation dysfunction, immunodeficiency, or long-term use of anticoagulant/antiplatelet drugs at the time of visit, and females during menstruation 3. Patients who have taken oral glucocorticoids within 1 month prior to the visit 4. Patients with a history of nasal endoscopic surgery or nasal radiotherapy 5. Pregnant or lactating women, or those with severe systemic diseases (such as uncontrolled hypertension, diabetes, hepatic or renal insufficiency) 6. Patients with incomplete clinical data or missing postoperative follow-up data 7. Any other conditions deemed by the researcher as making the subject unsuitable for participating in the trial 8. Patients with poor treatment compliance
