Condition(s) targeted: Sinusitis
Intervention: Itraconazole (Drug)
Phase: Phase 1
Status: Completed
Sponsored by: Mayo Clinic Official(s) and/or principal investigator(s): Hirohito Kita, MD, Principal Investigator, Affiliation: Mayo Clinic
Summary
The primary objective of this study is to determine the concentration of itraconazole
irrigation in nasal mucous specimens via collection and High-performance liquid
chromatography (HPLC) assay.
Eight (8) patients with chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) and two (2) healthy controls will be
enrolled in the initial evaluation. After an initial control nasal specimen, followed by
seven days of twice daily topical itraconazole irrigation, nasal specimens will be collected
at varying time intervals and the concentrations measured.
The primary endpoint is development of a reliable collection and assay technique with
concentration curves over time of topically administered itraconazole. A secondary endpoint
is to determine if the concentrations measured achieve a mean inhibitory concentration
(MIC90) to commonly cultured fungal species in the nose.
Clinical Details
Official title: Concentration of Itraconazole Solution in Nasal Secretions
Study design: Endpoint Classification: Safety/Efficacy Study, Intervention Model: Single Group Assignment, Masking: Open Label, Primary Purpose: Treatment
Primary outcome: Concentration of Itraconazole in nasal secretions at 7 days
Detailed description:
This is a pilot study for the purpose of gathering concentration data on a commonly used
topical antifungal solution of itraconazole. CRS patients that meet the defined inclusion
criteria will begin topical itraconazole antifungal irrigations on Day 1. This will consist
of Itraconazole in Sterile Water 100 mg/1000 ml, irrigating each nostril with 20 ml of
solution twice daily, with a bulb syringe as directed. The patient will return on Day 7 for
repeat examination and nasal secretion collection. Two patients will be randomly selected
to have blood drawn at the completion of day 7 testing to determine the concentration of
itraconazole in the blood.
