Brief Summary

This active vs active comparative trial will evaluate the safety and efficacy of incremental doses of atropine in combination with pseudoephedrine 120 mg/chlorpheniramine 8 mg in adult patients with a history of seasonal allergic rhinitis. Hypotheses are defined by total nasal symptom scores (TNSS) recorded by subjects in diaries where efficacy will be established by statistical significance where p \< 0.05.

Detailed Description

Actives in each of the five study arms:

Pseudoephedrine 120 mg/Chlorpheniramine 8 mg/Atropine 0.36 mg Pseudoephedrine 120 mg/Chlorpheniramine 8 mg/Atropine 0.24 mg Pseudoephedrine 120 mg/Chlorpheniramine 8 mg/Atropine 0.12 mg Pseudoephedrine 120 mg/Chlorpheniramine 8 mg Atropine 0.24 mg

Exclusion Criteria
  1. Has asthma requiring corticosteroid treatment

  2. Is currently undergoing chronic or intermittent use of inhaled, oral, intramuscular, intravenous, and/or potent or super potent topical corticosteroids

  3. Has taken any of the following medications in the indicated time period prior to study enrolment:

    • Intranasal, opthalmic, or systemic corticosteroids (1 month)
    • Intranasal cromolyn (2 weeks)
    • Intranasal or systemic decongestants (3 days)
    • Intranasal or systemic antihistamines (7 days) or leukotriene inhibitors (7 days)
  4. Documented evidence of acute or significant chronic sinusitis, as determined by the individual investigator

  5. Has a history of allergic reaction to or known sensitivity to the active or inactive ingredients in the investigational products used in this study

  6. Chronic use of concomitant medications (e.g., tricyclic antidepressants) that would affect assessment of the effectiveness of the study medication

  7. Rhinitis medicamentosa

  8. A history of glaucoma

  9. Has known or suspected pregnancy, planned pregnancy, or lactation (for female patients)

  10. Is currently receiving immunotherapy, unless at stable maintenance dose for at least 1 month.

  12. Plans to travel outside the study area for a substantial portion of the study period

  13. Has a history in the last 2 years or current evidence of abuse of illicit drugs, prescription medications, or alcohol that, in the opinion of the Investigator, would interfere with adherence to study requirements.

  15. Has clinically significant mental illness (to be determined by the Investigator)

  16. Has a condition the Investigator believes would interfere with the ability to provide informed consent or comply with study instructions, or that might confound the interpretation of the study results or put the patient at undue risk
