According to the results reported on ClinicalTrials.gov, this trial (NCT02284347) involved 51 people who took part, with 48 completing the study and 3 not completing it. The trial tested a medical device called the NuVent™, which is used during sinus procedures. The study was measuring two main things: how well the device could be guided to the right spot inside the sinuses and how easily it could open up the sinus passages, as well as tracking any unwanted events that might be linked to the device. The reported data shows that across the participants, 121 sinuses were successfully navigated to the desired treatment location and had the sinus opening dilated as intended. For the primary safety measurement — which looked at any unwanted events directly linked to the device, or where the cause could not be ruled out — the reported number was zero. Separately, a secondary measurement tracked the broader rate of any unwanted events among participants (regardless of cause); the reported data shows that 18% of participants experienced at least one such event. No further breakdown of those events was provided in the submitted results. These are the results as reported to ClinicalTrials.gov.
