Stent-001 study is a randomized controlled clinical trial with the steroid-eluting Sinus in 96 chronic rhinosinusitis patients with uncontrolled postoperative symptoms
Stent-001 is a randomized (1:1), sham-controlled, parallel group, single-blind, non-inferiority, multicenter study in 96 chronic rhinosinusitis patients who had prior endoscopic sinus surgery and presented with uncontrolled postoperative symptoms. The objective was to evaluate the safety and clinical efficacy of sinus stents relative to systemic glucocorticoids. The steroid-eluting sinus stent consist of a bioabsorbable self-expanding sinus implant coated with 625 mcg of mometasone furoate (MF) and a single-use delivery system. Implant is placed in-office in the ethmoid sinus under local anesthesia. The coating on the sinus stent implant provides controlled release of MF to the sinus mucosa over 30 days.

In-office bilateral placement of the steroid-eluting sinus stent in the ethmoid sinuses under local anesthesia
Groups were given oral methylprednisolone (32 mg/d on days 1-5; 16 mg/d on days 6-10; and 8 mg/d on days 11-20),
Patients were routinely treated with saline irrigations (250ml) twice daily

RECRUITINGChange in Sino-Nasal Outcome Test Scores (SNOT-22)
The change in Sino-Nasal Outcome Test scores (SNOT-22) scores pre- and post-treatment between the two arms was measured. The Sino-Nasal Outcome Test asks subjects to rate how "bad" their rhinosinusitis is by using a 0-5 point scale with 0=no problem, 1=very mild problem, 2=mild or slight problem, 3=moderate problem, 4=severe problem, 5=problem as bad as it can be. The SNOT includes 22 questions (symptoms and social/emotional consequences of rhinosinusitis), each of which are rated from 0 to 5 for a minimum score of 0 to maximum score of 110, with higher scores representing worse outcome.
Time frame: Change from Baseline to Week 4

Change in nasal symptoms
Nasal symptoms measured by Visual analog score. The four nasal symptoms (nasal obstruction, rhinorrhea, headache and olfactory disorder) involved in assigning the total nasal symptom score(TNSS). The symptoms are graded on a10-point scale (0 = no symptoms;10 = most severe symptoms).
Time frame: Change from Baseline to Week 1, 2, 4, 8, 12
Rescue medication use
If polyps and/or the moderate to severe clinical symptoms of CRS were relapsed and/or not controlled throughout the study period, rescue medication of corticosteroids for the experimental group will be used and recorded.

Groups were given systemic glucocorticoid placebo
The sham procedure was performed in-office under local anesthesia
Time frame: Week 4 and Week 12
The rate of surgery rate
The rate of nasal endoscopic surgery for the experimental or control group throughout the study period will be recorded.
Time frame: Week 4 and Week 12
Lund-Kennedy Scoring for Nasal Endoscopy
The Lund Kennedy scoring system for nasal endoscopy rates the severity of the sinusitis based on the endoscopic appearance of the nasal mucosa. Edema, secretions, and the presence of polyps are rated from 0-2, for a total maximum score of 6 per each side of the nose. Higher scores represent more severe disease.
Time frame: Change from Baseline to Week 1, 2, 4
