Trial Outcomes & Findings for Study in Adult and Adolescent Subjects With PAR (Perennial Allergic Rhinitis) (NCT NCT01134705)

NCT ID: NCT01134705

Last Updated: 2012-05-23

Results Overview

Participants recorded the severity of their nasal symptoms (sneezing, runny nose, itchy nose and nasal congestion) over the past 12 hours twice daily (AM \& PM) using the following scale: 0=absent (no sign/symptom); 1=mild (sign/symptom present, awareness, easily tolerated); 2=moderate (awareness of sign/symptom, bothersome but tolerable); 3=severe (sign/symptoms hard to tolerate, interfere with daily activities and/or sleeping). The total nasal symptom score (sum of 4 symptom scores) ranges from 0 to 12 (worst symptoms). A negative change from Baseline score indicates symptom improvement.

Participant Flow

A total of 675 patients were screened and 574 patients were enrolled in the study and participated in the Run-in Period. Of the 574 enrolled patients, 474 were randomized to study treatment.

During the 7 to 21 day Run-in Period, participants self-administered a single-blind placebo nasal aerosol once daily in the morning and assessed and recorded their twice daily allergic rhinitis symptoms to determine eligibility for randomization.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline (Days -3 to 0) and Days 1-43 (6-week Treatment Period)

Population: Intent-to-Treat (ITT) Population: The ITT population included all randomized patients who received at least one dose of randomized study medication and had at least one post-baseline assessment.

Participants recorded the severity of their nasal symptoms (sneezing, runny nose, itchy nose and nasal congestion) over the past 12 hours twice daily (AM \& PM) using the following scale: 0=absent (no sign/symptom); 1=mild (sign/symptom present, awareness, easily tolerated); 2=moderate (awareness of sign/symptom, bothersome but tolerable); 3=severe (sign/symptoms hard to tolerate, interfere with daily activities and/or sleeping). The total nasal symptom score (sum of 4 symptom scores) ranges from 0 to 12 (worst symptoms). A negative change from Baseline score indicates symptom improvement.

Population: Intent to treat population.

Participants recorded the severity of their nasal symptoms (sneezing, runny nose, itchy nose and nasal congestion) over the 10 minutes prior to assessment twice daily (AM \& PM) using the following scale: 0=absent (no sign/symptom); 1=mild (sign/symptom present, easily tolerated); 2=moderate (awareness of symptoms, bothersome but tolerable); 3=severe (symptoms hard to tolerate, interfere with daily activities and/or sleeping).

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline and Week 6

Population: The RQLQ population included adults (18 years and older) with an impaired quality of life at Baseline as defined by a RQLQ score at the Randomization Visit of 3.0 or greater.

The adult RQLQ has 28 questions in 7 domains (activities, sleep, non-nose/eye symptoms, practical problems, nasal symptoms, eye symptoms, and emotional). Participants were asked to recall their experiences during the previous week and to give their responses on a 7-point scale (0 = Least severe to 6 = Extremely severe). The overall RQLQ score is the mean of all 28 responses, and ranges from 0 to 7. A negative change from Baseline score indicates improvement.
