Smell Changes & Efficacy of Nasal Theophylline (SCENT)

Study Description
Brief Summary:
This study evaluates the efficacy and safety of nasal theophylline irrigation in treating smell loss related to a viral respiratory infection. Half the participants will undergo nasal theophylline irrigation treatment while the other half will undergo placebo nasal irrigation with saline alone. All participants will have their sense of smell tested before and after 6 weeks of treatment. All participants will also be regularly asked about any potential side effects related to treatment. In addition, the first 10 participants will have their blood drawn to measure their theophylline level after 1 week of starting treatment to ensure it is not abnormally elevated.

Arms and Interventions
Arm Intervention/treatment
Experimental: Theophylline saline irrigation
Theophylline 12 mg capsule contents dissolved into a sinus rinse bottle containing distilled or boiled tap water and USP Grade Sodium Chloride & Sodium Bicarbonate Mixture commercially prepared packets, delivered to the bilateral nasal cavities twice daily.
Drug: Theophylline
Theophylline delivered via high-volume, low-pressure nasal saline irrigation

Placebo Comparator: Placebo saline irrigation
Identical-appearing lactose monohydrate capsule contents dissolved into a sinus rinse bottle containing distilled or boiled tap water and USP Grade Sodium Chloride & Sodium Bicarbonate Mixture commercially prepared packets, delivered to the bilateral nasal cavities twice daily.
Drug: Saline Nasal
Lactose delivered via high-volume, low-pressure nasal saline irrigation

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Global Rating of Smell Change [ Time Frame: 6 weeks ]
    Self-reported change in smell after intervention on a 7-point Likert scale. Response options with corresponding point values: 7) Much better, 6) Somewhat better, 5) Slightly better, 4) Neither better nor worse, 3) Slightly worse, 2) Somewhat worse, and 1) Much worse. The maximum score is 7, and higher values indicate better outcomes. A score of 4 is considered neutral.


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. University of Pennsylvania Smell Identification Test (UPSIT) Change [ Time Frame: 6 weeks ]
    Within- and between-subject changes in UPSIT scores. This test is a validated 40-question forced-choice odor identification test where microencapsulated odorants on a strip are released by scratching. The maximum score is 40, and higher values indicate better outcomes.

  2. Questionnaire of Olfactory Disorders-Negative Statements (QOD-NS) Change [ Time Frame: 6 weeks ]
    Within- and between-subject changes in QOD-NS scores, which is a validated 17-item questionnaire about quality of life and impairments related to olfactory dysfunction. The maximum score is 51, and higher values indicate worse quality of life or higher degree of impairment.

  3. Olfactory Dysfunction Outcomes Ratings (ODOR) Change [ Time Frame: 6 weeks ]
    Within- and between-subject changes in ODOR. This test is a new disease-specific 28-item questionnaire that assesses for physical, functional, and emotional limitations in patients with olfactory dysfunction of any etiology. The maximum score is 112, and higher values indicate higher degree of limitations and worse outcomes.
