Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Main Objective: To determine whether or not a new formulation of Triamcinolone Acetonide (TA) is non-inferior to the old in terms of efficacy, in patients with persistent allergic rhinitis, using the Juniper mini rhinoconjunctivitis quality of life questionnaire (miniRQLQ). ;Secondary Objective: Secondary objectives include assessments of peak nasal inspiratory flow rate, systemic effects (overnight urinary cortisol/creatinine ratio), total nasal symptoms scores, and adverse events.;Primary end point(s): The primary efficacy variable is the Juniper mini rhinitis quality of life (MiniRQLQ) score.
