0.4% of Europeans agreed with the statement. Nearly 74% of U.S. and 44% of European physicians believed that intranasal antifungals were appropriate for surgery refractory adult CS patients. Half of U.S. and one-quarter of European respondents prescribed intranasal antifungals, and of those who did so, nearly 50% used Amphotericin B.

The third poster, entitled "Differences in Treatment Practices of Chronic Sinusitis in Europe and U.S." by Casciano, et al., provided results showing that the majority of respondents reported that almost all of their patients get some pharmacotherapy, with most of those being treated with at least two agents. Half of U.S. and one-quarter of European respondents reported prescribing intranasal antifungals, with German physicians being more likely to do so than French or British respondents. Respondents mentioned they are looking for more options to treat surgery refractory CS patients and believe pharmacotherapies are a key treatment for this patient population. Overall, the most important attributes considered by physicians when selecting CS treatment are the product's efficacy for treating surgery refractory CS and low occurrence of side-effects.

Dr. Angelos Stergiou, Medical Director at Accentia Biopharmaceuticals, commented, "With few options for the millions suffering from surgery refractory chronic sinusitis, we are excited about the potential for intranasal antifungals to provide safe and effective relief. The growing acceptance of the fungal etiology of chronic sinusitis in these patients by the medical community represents a significant advance in the treatment of this burdensome condition. We are currently in a Phase 3 clinical trial for SinuNase(TM), which we expect will provide insight into the potential of the product to become the first approved treatment for chronic sinusitis. This is a serious and debilitating disease and we hope to effectively treat those patients in need."
