About this study

Official title: Study of the Decongestant Effect of the Combination of Loratadine and Montelukast Compared With Placebo in SAR Subjects Exposed to Pollen in an Environmental Exposure Unit

This is study of LMC, phenylephrine, and placebo in subjects with SAR. There are three visits: At Visit 1, subjects will be evaluated for participation and, if they qualify, will attend Visit 2 for priming. At Visit 2, ragweed pollen will be fed continuously and dispensed into the environmental exposure unit to induce an allergic reaction. Pollen counts will be monitored and recorded. During the priming visit(s), subjects will be evaluated to determine if they qualify. If qualified, they will return for Visit 3, where ragweed pollen will be fed continuously and dispensed into the environmental exposure unit to induce an allergic reaction. Pollen counts will be monitored and recorded as in the Priming Session. Subjects will complete symptom evaluations and if qualified, they will receive study medication and remain in the environmental exposure unit where symptoms will be evaluated for 8 hours after dosing. PNIF will be evaluated only during the treatment session. Four nasal symptoms (rhinorrhea, nasal congestion, sneezing, and nasal itching) and three non-nasal symptoms (itching/burning eyes, tearing/watery eyes, and itching of ears/palate) will be evaluated. Adverse events will be collected throughout the study to assess safety and tolerability, and vital signs will be collected at Visit 1 and at the end of Visit 3.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Loratadine/montelukast combination in people with Seasonal Allergic Rhinitis, run by Organon and Co.

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 8 inclusion and 15 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 15 Aug 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00423995, 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 15 Aug 2024.
