Trial Outcomes & Findings for Phase 4 Fluticasone Furoate Nasal Spray (VERAMYST) Long Term Pediatric Growth Study. (NCT NCT00570492)

NCT ID: NCT00570492

Last Updated: 2017-09-15

Results Overview

Height was measured (triplicate measurements) in pre-pubescent pediatric participants via stadiometry at each clinic visit during the entire 76-week study period (16-week Baseline Period, 52-week DB Treatment Period and 8-week Follow-up Period). Growth velocity was calculated by fitting a regression line to all height measurements recorded for the participant during the period and was determined by the slope of the fitted regression line. Change from Baseline was calculated as the value over the 52-week Treatment Period minus the value over the 16-week Baseline Period.

Participant Flow

After screening and a 16-week Baseline Period (Pd.), participants (par.) were randomized 1:1 to each treatment arm during the 52-week Treatment Pd. After the Treatment Pd., par. entered an 8-week Follow-up (FU) Pd. during which all par. received placebo nasal spray. Par. completing at least 12 weeks of treatment were to complete the FU Pd.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline Period (Weeks -16 to 0) and DB Treatment Period (Weeks 1 to 52)

Population: Growth Population: all randomized participants with height assessments via stadiometry from at least three post-randomization clinic visits during the DB Treatment Period

Height was measured (triplicate measurements) in pre-pubescent pediatric participants via stadiometry at each clinic visit during the entire 76-week study period (16-week Baseline Period, 52-week DB Treatment Period and 8-week Follow-up Period). Growth velocity was calculated by fitting a regression line to all height measurements recorded for the participant during the period and was determined by the slope of the fitted regression line. Change from Baseline was calculated as the value over the 52-week Treatment Period minus the value over the 16-week Baseline Period.

Timeframe: Randomization/end of 16-week Baseline Period (Week 0), End of 52-week DB Treatment Period (Week 52), and end of 8-week Follow-up Period (Week 60)

Population: Urine Cortisol Population: all randomized participants excluding those whose urine samples were considered to have confounding factors affecting the interpretation of the 24-hour urinary cortisol results. One participant in each arm had a Baseline value \<1.0 and was not analyzed. Some participants had samples that were not acceptable for analysis.

Hypothalamic-pitiutary-adrenal (HPA) axis function was assessed by the measurement of urinary free cortisol, using urine samples collected over the course of 24 hours by the parent/guardian in the participants' home on an out-patient basis within 7 days prior to the indicated time points. Detailed verbal instructions and a take-home instruction card on how to conduct the 24-hour urine collection were provided to the parent/guardian before each collection interval.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline Period (Weeks -16 to 0) and DB Treatment Period (Weeks 1 to 52)

Population: Intent-to-Treat (ITT) Population: all participants who had been randomized to and received at least one dose of double-blind study medication. Most participants received examinations at each visit; however, on some occasions, some assessments were not completed for various reasons.

NE included the evaluation of the size of ulcers/polyps (of nasal turbinates/septa) and assessment for mucosal bleeding (MB) at all study visits. Polyps are non-cancerous growths; ulcers are breaks in the skin/mucous membrane with loss of surface tissue, disintegration, and necrosis of epithelial tissue. For MB, Improved=shift from present (\>=1 nostril) to absent (both nostrils); Worsened=shift from absent (both nostrils) to present (\>=1 nostril). For polyps/ulcers, Improved=shift from large to small or from small to none; Worsened=shift from none to small or from small to none (\>=1 nostril).

Urine pH is an acid-base measurement. pH is measured on a numeric scale ranging from 0 to 14; values on the scale refer to the degree of alkalinity or acidity. A pH of 7 is neutral. A pH less than 7 is acidic, and a pH greater than 7 is basic. Normal urine has a slightly acid pH (5.0 - 6.0).

Specific gravity is a measure of the amount of material dissolved in the urine. Specific gravity is the ratio of the density (mass of a unit volume) of a substance to the density (mass of the same unit volume) of a reference substance. Normal urine has a specific gravity between 1.010 and 1.020.

Urine glucose, urine ketones, and urine proteins were measured in participants using a dipstick (qualitative) test at the indicated time points. In this dipstick test, the level of glucose, ketones, and protein in urine samples was recorded as negative (Neg), trace (tr), 1+, 2+, and 3+ (the plus sign increases with a higher level of glucose, ketones, or proteins in the urine: 1+=slightly positive, 2+=positive, 3+=high positive). Participants were categorized as negative or positive based on the absence or presence, respectively, of glucose, ketones, and proteins in the urine.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline Period (Weeks -16 to 0), DB Treatment Period (Weeks 1 to 52), and Follow-up Period (Weeks 53 to 60)

Population: ITT Population. Only those participants remaining in the study and contributing viable samples at the various time points were analyzed.

Occult blood (OB) is blood that cannot be seen without a microscope. Normal urine does not contain any red blood cells. Leukocyte esterase is an enzyme and is not found in normal urine. In the dipstick (qualitative) test, the level of OB and leukocyte esterase in urine samples was recorded as negative (Neg), small, moderate, large, trace, 1+ (slightly positive), 2+ (positive), and 3+ (high positive). Participants were categorized as negative or positive based on the absence or presence, respectively, of OB and urine leukocyte esterase.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline Period (Weeks -16 to 0), DB Treatment Period (Weeks 1 to 52), and Follow-up Period (Weeks 53 to 60)

Population: ITT Population. Only those participants remaining in the study and contributing viable samples at the various time points were analyzed.

Participants were assessed for their urine appearance, which was categorized as clear (normal), cloudy (presence of crystals, blood cells, or bacteria), of turbid. Also, participants were categorized by the color of urine: straw, yellow (normal urine), and dark yellow (DY) (which may be the result of bile in the urine).
