What is being measured

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

  1. Comparison of Mean Change From Baseline in Daily Reflective Total Nasal Symptom Score (rTNSS) Over Each Treatment Period of Active Drug Nasal Sprays Versus Placebos

    Reflective Total Nasal Symptom scores (rTNSS) symptoms of rhinorrhea, nasal congestion, nasal itching, sneezing using scale of: 0=none, 1=mild, 2=moderate, 3=severe; maximum score=12. The mean of AM and PM scores were used.

    Measured: Baseline, Treatment Period 1 (Days 1-7), Treatment Period 2 (Days 15-21)

  2. Subject Preference of Fluticasone Furoate Nasal Spray (FFNS) Versus Fluticasone Propionate Nasal Spray (FPNS) Based on Scent/Odor

    Subjects assessed preference of scent/odor for the nasal sprays used during the treatment periods by answering "I prefer product 1" for spray used during Treatment Period 1 or "I prefer product 2" for spray used during Treatment Period 2. Subject could also choose "I have no preference."

    Measured: End of Crossover Period (Day 22)

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Comparation of Mean Change From Baseline Over Each Treatment Period in Daytime Reflective Total Nasal Symptom Scores (D r-TNSS) for Active Drug Nasal Sprays Versus Placebos

    Reflective Total Nasal Symptom scores (rTNSS) symptoms of rhinorrhea, nasal congestion, nasal itching, sneezing using scale of: 0=none, 1=mild, 2=moderate, 3=severe.

    Measured: Baseline, Treatment Period 1 (Days 1-7), Treatment Period 2 (Days 15-21)

  2. Comparision of Mean Change From Baseline Over Each Treatment Period in Nighttime Reflective Total Nasal Symptom Scores (N-rTNSS) for Active Drug Nasal Sprays Versus Placebos

    Reflective Total Nasal Symptom scores (rTNSS) symptoms of rhinorrhea, nasal congestion, nasal itching, sneezing using scale of: 0=none, 1=mild, 2=moderate, 3=severe; maximum score=12.

    Measured: Baseline, Treatment Period 1 (Days 1-7), Treatment Period 2 (Days 15-21)

  3. Subject Preference of Fluticasone Furoate Nasal Spray (FFNS) Versus Fluticasone Propionate Nasal Spray (FPNS) on Preference for: Leaking Out of Nose/Down Throat

    Subjects assessed preference over leaking out of nose/down throat for the nasal sprays used during the treatment periods by answering "I prefer product 1" for spray used during Treatment Period 1 or "I prefer product 2" for spray used during Treatment Period 2. Subject could also choose "I have no preference."

    Measured: End of Crossover Period (Day 22)

  4. Subject Preference of Fluticasone Furoate Nasal Spray (FFNS) Versus Fluticasone Propionate Nasal Spray (FPNS) on Preference for: Ease of Use

    Subjects assessed preference over ease of use for the nasal sprays used during the treatment periods by answering "I prefer product 1" for spray used during Treatment Period 1 or "I prefer product 2" for spray used during Treatment Period 2. Subject could also choose "I have no preference."

    Measured: End of Crossover Period (Day 22)

  5. Subject Preference of Fluticasone Furoate Nasal Spray (FFNS) Versus Fluticasone Propionate Nasal Spray (FPNS) on Preference for: Gentleness of Mist

    Subjects assessed preference over gentleness of mist for the nasal sprays used during the treatment periods by answering "I prefer product 1" for spray used during Treatment Period 1 or "I prefer product 2" for spray used during Treatment Period 2. Subject could also choose "I have no preference."

    Measured: End of Crossover Period (Day 22)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing FPNS and FFNS in people with Rhinitis, Allergic, Perennial, run by GlaxoSmithKline at 28 sites 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 33 inclusion and 47 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 9 Dec 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 28 sites 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

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

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 15 Jan 2010). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Comparison of Mean Change From Baseline in Daily Reflective Total Nasal Symptom Score (rTNSS) Over Each Treatment Period of Active Drug Nasal Sprays Versus Placebos (time frame: Baseline, Treatment Period 1 (Days 1-7), Treatment Period 2 (Days 15-21)). 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 NCT00519636, 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 9 Dec 2016.
