Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn about the clinical efficacy and safety of ganciclovir (GCV) capsules in the treatment of refractory moderate-to-severe allergic rhinitis. The main questions it aims to answer are:

1. Whether ganciclovir improve nasal symptoms and life quality in patients with refractory moderate-to-severe allergic rhinitis.
2. Whether ganciclovir is safe for the treatment of allergic rhinitis.

Participants with refractory moderate-to-severe allergic rhinitis will be included in the trial based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria, and randomized into experimental and control groups.

The two groups will be treated with blinded ganciclovir capsules or placebo for two weeks, with the background therapy of mometasone furoate aqueous nasal spray. A placebo is a look-alike capsule that contains no active drug. Nasal symptom scores, nasal secretions, blood samples and adverse events will be collected during the visits.

Researchers will compare the experimental and control groups to see whether ganciclovir improve symptoms and is safe for the treatment of refractory moderate-to-severe allergic rhinitis.
