Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
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 for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing This study
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 Results may not be published yet.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.

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.

Summary

This study tests a small, dissolvable implant called TurbAlign that is placed in the nose during sinus surgery. The goal is to keep the middle turbinate from shifting and causing scarring that blocks airflow. Fifty adults having sinus surgery will receive the implant and be followed for 8 weeks to see if it prevents complications.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
TurbAlign bioabsorbable implant
What this could lead to
If successful, this implant could reduce the need for additional surgeries by preventing nasal scarring after sinus procedures.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study with only 50 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The implant is new and its long-term benefits are unproven.
