Study of nose and sinus tissue differences
Part of Ear, nose & throat clinical trials.
This study looks at tissue samples taken during nose or sinus surgery to better understand how these tissues vary. It may help researchers learn more about conditions affecting the nose and sinuses.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You are already scheduled for nose or sinus surgery.
- A small piece of tissue can be taken during your surgery without extra risk.
- You can and will sign a consent form to participate.
- You do not have a history of cancer in the nose or sinuses, or radiation or chemotherapy to that area.
- You have not used steroid medications, immune-suppressing drugs, or biologic treatments in the 4 weeks before surgery.

This trial collects a small sample of tissue from your nose or sinus during a planned surgery. The sample is used for research to better understand diseases of the nose and sinuses.
This study is looking at healthy people to understand how certain cells in the nose work. It will compare them to people with sinus problems to learn what goes wrong in chronic sinusitis with nasal polyps.
This study examines the type of inflammation in nasal polyps by collecting small tissue samples during surgery. It may help doctors better understand why some people develop nasal polyps and how to treat them more effectively.
This study looks at tissue and blood samples from people with chronic sinusitis to find markers that could predict how the disease behaves. It may help doctors choose better treatments in the future.
This study looks at better ways to diagnose a fungal (mycotic) infection in the sinus/near-nose area. You may be considered if you have symptoms on only one side, such as blockage or drainage, and you can safely take part in the study tests.
This study tests a specialized way of measuring how your nasal lining responds in people with chronic rhinosinusitis (long-lasting sinus inflammation). The goal is to see whether the nasal measurement is usable and safe, and to help better understand chronic sinus disease.
