Protocol summary

Study aim
Evaluating the effect of amalizumab in patients with chronic rhinosinusitis and recurrent polyps
Design
The clinical trial has a control group with parallel, randomized groups, phase 3 on at least 30 referring patients, randomization is done with the rand function of Excel software.
Settings and conduct
The intervention group, treated with amalizumab, according to the standard protocol, will be placed in the allergy clinic on a monthly basis, and the control group will continue their previous medical treatments, and for both groups, the SNOT 22 questionnaire will be completed in 0-16-8-4-24 weeks. It turns out that lower scores indicate better disease control and higher quality of life in these people
Participants/Inclusion and exclusion criteria
Patients aged 18-60 with chronic rhinosinusitis and recurrent and resistant nasal polyps with a SNOT-22 score of 20 or higher were included in the study. Patients with other sinus or pulmonary disorders (except asthma), and known allergy to omalizumab were excluded from the study.
Intervention groups
The intervention group will be treated with the standard treatment protocol of Amalizumab, and the control group will continue the routine medical treatment related to the underlying disease, and for both groups, the SNOT22 questionnaire will be 0-16-8-4-0 in week 24.
Main outcome variables
Improvment the quality of life of patients treated with Omalizumab according to the SNOT22 Questionaire- Improvment of the Total Nasal Score, Nasal Congestion Score and the Degree of Smell -- improvement of lung function test in patients with history of moderate to severe asthma

Randomization description
One method of randomization is to use theRANDBETWEEN function in Excel. This function allows us to generate randomnumbers. To generate a random number in this study with a sample size of 30,between the two numbers 1 and 31, the function = Randbetween (1,31) is used. Thisfunction creates a column of random numbers between 1 and 31. The rand functionselects numbers with equal probability in this interval, so the chance of selecting anynumber in this interval is equal to the other numbers. This means that each patient isassigned to enter one of two treatments, respectively. These data are 30 people whoare randomly assigned to 2 treatments 1 and 2 (15 people in each group). The samplenumbers in the first group and the second are as follows:A: 15,7,6,29,23,13,10,25,12,1,4,17,26,20,11B: 28,14,21,3,8,22,2,5,16,30,27,19,18,9,24A or B could be contributed to both control and Omalizumab group.The researcher who reviews the results is not aware of the group allocation
