Invacaftor for Acquired CFTR Dysfunction in Chronic Rhinosinusitis (EDSPD Protocol)

The purpose of this study is to establish the novel endoscopically-directed sinus potential difference (EDSPD) assay as an endpoint for therapy of sinus disease. This assay provides a means to measure CI-secretion across the sinus epithelium in human subjects with chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) and test the relationship between this data and endoscopic findings of inflammation.

Chloride Secretagogues for Acquired CFTR Dysfunction in Chronic Rhinosinusitis (NPD Protocol)

The purpose of this study is to determine if acquired (partial) Cystic Fibrosis Transmembrane conductance Regulator (CFTR) deficiency contributes substantially to the pathogenic mechanisms underlying Chronic Rhinosinusitis (CRS), creating a localized environment that impairs mucociliary clearance (MCC).
