Phase 3
Completed
Conditions
Seasonal Allergic Rhinitis
Interventions
Registration Number
NCT00453063
Lead Sponsor

Target Recruitment
426
Inclusion Criteria
  • Must be 12 years of age or older, of either sex and of any race.
  • Must have at least a 2-year documented history of SAR which exacerbates during the study season.
  • Must have a positive skin-prick test response to an appropriate seasonal allergen at Screening (Visit 1). Immunoglobulin E (IgE)-mediated hypersensitivity to an appropriate seasonal allergen (ie, prevailing trees and/or grasses) must be documented by a positive response to the skin prick test with wheal diameter at least 3 mm larger than diluent control after 20 minutes.
  • Must be clinically symptomatic at the Screening Visit.
  • Must be clinically symptomatic at the Baseline Visit.
  • Must be in general good health as confirmed by routine clinical and laboratory testing and electrocardiogram (ECG) results. Clinical laboratory test (complete blood count [CBC], blood chemistries, and urinalysis) must be within normal limits or clinically acceptable to the investigator and the sponsor.
  • Must be free of any clinically significant disease, other than SAR, that would interfere with the study evaluations.
Exclusion Criteria
  • A history of anaphylaxis and/or other severe local reaction(s) to skin testing.
  • A subject with asthma who requires chronic use of inhaled or systemic corticosteroids.
  • Current or history of frequent, clinically significant sinusitis or chronic purulent postnasal drip.
  • A subject with rhinitis medicamentosa.
  • A history of allergies to more than two classes of medications or who are allergic to or cannot tolerate nasal sprays.
  • A subject who has had an upper respiratory tract or sinus infection that required antibiotic therapy without at least a 14-day washout prior to the Screening Visit, or who has had a viral upper respiratory infection within 7 days before the Screening Visit.
  • A subject who has nasal structural abnormalities, including large nasal polyps and marked septal deviations, which significantly interfere with nasal air flow.
  • A subject who, in the opinion of the investigator, is dependent on nasal, oral, or ocular decongestants, nasal topical antihistamines, or nasal steroids.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Change From Baseline in the Average AM Instantaneous (NOW) Total Ocular Symptom Score (TOSS) Averaged Over Days 2 to 15Baseline and 15 days

TOSS was defined as the sum of the following three ocular symptoms: redness of eyes, itching/burning eyes, and tearing/watering eyes; each symptom scored on a scale of 0 = none, 1 = mild, 2 = moderate, and 3 = severe. The best possible score on this scale is 0 and the worst possible score on this scale is 9.

Change From Baseline in the Average AM Instantaneous (NOW) Total Nasal Symptom Score (TNSS) Averaged Over Days 2 to 15Baseline and 15 days

TNSS was defined as the sum of the following four nasal symptoms: rhinorrhea, nasal congestion/stuffiness, nasal itching, sneezing; each symptom scored on a scale of 0 = none, 1 = mild, 2 = moderate, and 3 = severe. The best possible score on this scale is 0 and the worst possible score on this scale is 12.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Change From Baseline in Rhinoconjunctivitis Quality of Life Questionnaire (RQLQ) Total Score at Endpoint (Last Post Baseline Evaluation Carried Forward)Baseline and 15 days

The RQLQ consisted of 28 items that fell into the following seven domains: activities, sleep, non-nose/eye symptoms, practical problems, nasal symptoms, eye symptoms, and emotional. Each of the items was scored from 0 = not troubled to 6 = extremely troubled, and the total of the seven domains was the primary focus of this quality of life evaluation. The best possible score on this scale is 0 and the worst possible score on this scale is 42. The Endpoint was the last post baseline evaluation carried forward and was Day 15 for the majority of the participants.

Change From Baseline in AM NOW Nasal Congestion Score Averaged Over Days 2 to 15Baseline and 15 days

Nasal congestion was one of the symptoms measured in the TNSS and was scored on a scale of 0 = none, 1 = mild, 2 = moderate, and 3 = severe. The best possible score on this scale is 0 and the worst possible score on this scale is 3.

Change From Baseline in AM Peak Nasal Inspiratory Flow (PNIF) Averaged Over Days 2 to 15Baseline and 15 days

Participants were to measure nasal airflow twice daily (in the morning prior to study drug dosing and in the evening) using their PNIF meter. The highest of 3 assessments was to be recorded in the electronic diary. The PNIF meter limits were between 30 and 370 liters/minute. Normal values range between 100 and 150 liters/minute. A positive change from Baseline correlates with improved nasal air flow.
