Protocol summary

Study aim
To determine the effect of doxycycline in chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps
Design
A clinical trial study with control group, parallel groups, double-blinded, randomized with block randomization, phase 3 on 90 patients.
Settings and conduct
This study is performed on 90 patients in Hazrat Rasool Hospital. Patients are randomly divided into intervention group and control group. Blindnig will be performed on patients, researcher, and outcome assessor. Patients are assessed for quality of life, symptoms severity, peak nasal inspiratory flow, total serum IgE, peripheral eosinophil count, nasal mucosal eosinophil count and nasal polyp size.
Participants/Inclusion and exclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: Patients with chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps who have moderate to severe disease and are 18 to 60 years old; Exclusion criteria: Pregnancy, Breast feeding, sinus surgery within the last 3 months, antibiotic consumption within the last month, History of allergic reaction to doxycycline, renal failure or liver failure, Warfarin consumption.
Intervention groups
Intervention group: Nasal fluticasone spray, Montelukast and nasal irrigation as baseline treatment and oral enteric coated doxycycline (Behshad Darou, Iran) 200 Mg on day 1 then 100 Mg daily for 6 weeks. Control group: Nasal fluticasone spray, Montelukast and nasal irrigation as baseline treatment and placebo two capsules on day 1 then one capsule daily for 6 weeks.
Main outcome variables
Quality of life based on Sino-Nasal Outcome Test 22 (SNOT22), symptoms severity, peak nasal inspiratory flow and nasal polyp size

Randomization (investigator's opinion)
Randomized
Randomization description
Block randomization is done using the sealedenvelope.com site with a block size of 4 and considering a unique code for each participant. For concealment, the drug for each individual is placed in a sealed and opaque envelope and a unique code is pasted on it.
Blinding (investigator's opinion)
Double blinded
Blinding description
Blinding is performed for the following levels in this study. Patient: Placebo is used, which is similar to the main drug in terms of color, shape, appearance and smell. Researcher and outcome assessor: A placebo is used that is similar to the main drug in color, shape, appearance and smell. The received intervention is indicated by a code and the researcher is not aware of the codes.
