What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now This study
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Summary

This study tests a device called NOVOCLEAR™ that uses pulsed energy to treat chronic rhinitis, a condition causing long-term runny nose, congestion, itching, and sneezing. The treatment targets nerves in the nose to reduce symptoms. Researchers will enroll 30 adults who haven't gotten enough relief from nasal steroid sprays. The main goal is to see if symptoms improve 90 days after the procedure and to check for any side effects.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
NOVOCLEAR™ Device (pulsed field ablation device)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a new, non-drug option for people with chronic rhinitis that doesn't respond to nasal steroids.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study with only 30 people, so results may not apply to everyone. The procedure carries risks like any medical device treatment.

The subject is able and willing to provide written informed consent and comply with the protocol requirements. Exclusion Criteria: 1. The subject has clinically significant anatomic obstructions on either side that limit access to the posterior nose, including severe septal deviation, nasal polyps, and sinonasal tumor 2. The subject has a septal perforation 3. The subject has had prior sinus or nasal surgery on either side that significantly alters the anatomy of the posterior nose. 4. The subject had had previous surgery of the PNN for chronic rhinitis. 5. The subject has had prior head or neck irradiation 6. The subject has an active or chronic nasal or sinus infection 7. The subject has active coagulation disorder, or the patient is receiving anticoagulants 8. The subject has a history of dry eye or dry nose symptoms 9. Patient has rhinitis medicamentosa 10.
