About this trial
Endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS) is commonly performed in patients with chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) to improve sinus drainage and allow better delivery of topical therapies after surgery. Despite surgery, postoperative inflammation can persist and negatively affect healing and outcomes.
This randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial will evaluate whether intra-sinus administration of a gel-forming suspension containing povidone-iodine and budesonide improves postoperative endoscopic outcomes of the sinus cavities three months following ESS, compared with placebo.

Treatments tested in this trial
Povidone-Iodine and Budesonide Gel-Forming Suspension
DrugA gel-forming suspension containing povidone-iodine and budesonide administered intra-sinus at the completion of endoscopic sinus surgery, intended to reduce postoperative inflammation and improve sinus cavity healing.
Placebo Gel-Forming Suspension
DrugA gel-forming suspension without povidone-iodine or budesonide administered intra-sinus at the completion of endoscopic sinus surgery.
Treatment groups
Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Change in Modified Lund-Kennedy (MLK) Endoscopic Score
Change in the Modified Lund-Kennedy (MLK) endoscopic score comparing baseline to 12 weeks following endoscopic sinus surgery. The MLK score is a validated endoscopic scoring system assessing sinonasal inflammation, including edema and polyps, with higher scores indicating worse disease severity.
Secondary outcomes
Scar Tissue Formation
Presence and severity of postoperative scar tissue formation assessed by nasal endoscopy.
