Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Treatment: Surgery - Microbiome Transplant
Treatment: Surgery - Placebo

Experimental: Intervention - For each nostril, the donated nasal wash sample is quiesced to 15 mls with saline Nasal Microbiota Transplant therapy.

Placebo comparator: Control - For each nostril, 15 mls of saline will be used as the placebo therapy.


Treatment: Surgery: Microbiome Transplant
A raw microbiome, is collected from a donor without any sinonasal health problems, as a nasal lavage.

Eligibility

* Endoscopic confirmation of middle meatus inflammation or presence of mucopurulence, and /or CT confirmation of paranasal sinus inflammation.
* Previous nasal surgery with patent ostia to the diseased ethmoids and maxillary sinuses
* Signed written informed consent

Inclusion criteria (donor):

* No history of sinonasal or lower airway disease for the last 2 years other than the common cold.
* No clinical findings of sinonasal disease at the inclusion visit.
* Accepted as a donor by the patient.
* Signed informed consent to participate in the study.

Key exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria (patient):

* Aged <18 or >80 years
* Allergy to amoxicillin or clavulanate potassium and Clarithromycin.
* Excessive Nasal polyposis
* Antibiotic treatment in the last 4 weeks
* Patients with a history supporting a diagnosis of immune deficiency will be tested (Immunoglobulin A (IgA), Immunoglobulin M (IgM), Immunoglobulin G (IgG) and IgG subclasses, MBL) and /or are immunocompromised due to disease and / or medication ( e.g., insulin dependent diabetes mellitis, systemic corticosteroids)
* Patients who live with someone who is severly immunocompromised.
* Patients with cystic fibrosis or ciliary dyskinesia
* Patients who have been on an active investigational therapy within 2 months of screening
* Patients who have clinically significant laboratory abnormalities
* Patients who are pregnant, breast feeding or planning to become pregnant during the study
* Patients who are not willing to use a double barrier method of contraception during the study that is:-

1. females must use contraceptive pill or Intra-uterine device (IUD) or similar and condoms
2. males must use condoms and spermicidal gel
* Patients currently on any medication that may affect the results in an unpredictable manner
* The patient does not agree to comply with or is unable to meet all study requirements for the duration of the study period
* Patients deemed by the investigator to be unsuitable for participation in the study
* Patients who have had Coronavirus-19 (COVID-19) within the last month.

Exclusion criteria (donor):

* Findings in the prestudy pathogen scan that makes the donor unsuitable. Prestudy pathogen scan: Prior to first donation, the donors will be tested for HIV, Human T-lymphotropic virus 1 and 2, Hepatitis B and C, Syphilis, Tuberculosis, Herpes Simplex (HSV 1 and 2), Varicella Zoster (VZV), Cytomegalovirus (CMV), Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and a standard panel for sinonasal pathogens (Pneumococci, H. Influenza, Beta-streptococci and M. Catarrhalis).
* Donors who have had COVID-19 within the last 2 months.
* If the donor is positive for Herpes Simplex, CMV or EBV they will be considered unsuitable as a donor for a patient negative for the same pathogen. If the donor is positive for any other pathogen they will be considered unsuitable as a donor entirely.
