What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • TriamcinoloneDrug

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Double-blind phase: Change from baseline in mean daily instantaneous (immediately prior to dosing) Total Nasal Symptom Score (TNSS) over the 4-week double-blind period

  2. Open-label phase: The efficacy variable is the global evaluation of efficacy as rated by the physician and the subject

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Change from baseline: in mean daily reflective (previous 24 hours) TNSS over 4-wk double-blind period

  2. for mean daily instantaneous and reflective TNSS by week

  3. for mean instantaneous and reflective daily scores for nasal stuffiness, nasal discharge, sneezing, nasal itching, and total eye symptoms by week and over four week double-blind period

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Triamcinolone in people with Rhinitis, Allergic, Perennial, run by Sanofi at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 6 inclusion and 17 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 11 Jan 2011. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Double-blind phase: Change from baseline in mean daily instantaneous (immediately prior to dosing) Total Nasal Symptom Score (TNSS) over the 4-week double-blind period. The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00132925, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 11 Jan 2011.
