PROPEL mometasone furoate implant (trade name PROPEL), is a bioabsorbable steroid-eluting stent developed by Intersect ENT. It is implanted after surgery to assist in treating chronic rhinosinusitis.[1] It delivers steroids over a 30-day period prior to dissolving, and has been shown to improve outcomes of surgery.[2][3][4]

PROPEL uses sustained release technology to deliver mometasone furoate directly to the sinus mucosa.[5][6] The device is inserted into an open surgical cavity. The device has what is described as a "spring-like design,"[7] which conforms to a patient's sinus anatomy and props open the sinus cavity.[5] Anti-inflammatory medicine is then delivered over a 30-day period with the device dissolving so it does not need to be removed.[6] The use of PROPEL reduced the need for additional surgical procedures and steroid pills, which can have detrimental side effects. PROPEL is also manufactured in a smaller version known as the PROPEL Mini.[8]

Efficacy

A randomized, double-blind pilot study of PROPEL using 43 patients during an eight-week trial period showed no adverse effects.[9] The intra-patient control design compared a drug-eluting implant (PROPEL) to a non-steroid eluting implant. It also showed adhesion rates of 5.3% for those using PROPEL in comparison to 21.1% for those who received a non-steroid eluting implant.[10][11] The trial showed less than 10% of stent material present after 30 days with the remaining completely absorbed by the end of the eight-week trial.[10][9]

In 2011, The Laryngoscope published the ADVANCE study on the safety and effectiveness of steroid-eluting implants using the PROPEL device as supplied by Intersect ENT.[12] The conclusion of the study reported favorable rates of sinus patency, with minimal inflammation and adhesions after 30 days.[13] Patients reported symptom reductions were also collected to 6 months using the Sino-Nasal Outcome Test-22 Questionnaire and Rhinosinusitis Disability Index. The study showed a positive impact of using the device and demonstrated improved patient symptom scores with no evidence of ocular risk.[12]

The ADVANCE II study, a randomized double-blind study, published by the American Academy of Otolaryngology–Head and Neck Surgery in 2012 was evaluated by an independent, blinded panel of surgeons and resulted in a 29% reduction in postoperative interventions and a 52% decrease in lysis of adhesions in all 210 patients involved in the study.[13][14]

A Meta Analysis, published by the International Forum of Allergy and Rhinology in 2012, pooled the efficacy data from the pilot and ADVANCE II studies.[3] This resulted in the first Level 1-A evidence in support of a sinus surgery product.[3] The analysis showed PROPEL reduces the need for oral steroids by 40%, decreases adhesions by 70%, and decreases the need for post-surgical medical and surgical therapies by 35%.[3]

Approval

It received pre-market approval from the FDA in August 2011 and for PROPEL Mini in November 2012.[10][11]
