About this study

Official title: An Exploratory Study of Mometasone Furoate Nasal Spray in Patients With Moderate-severe Persistent Allergic Rhinitis and Intermittent Asthma: Effects on the Quality of Life Evaluated With the Rhinasthma Questionnaire

The primary objective of this study is to explore the efficacy of Nasonex (mometasone furoate nasal spray) in comparison with placebo in improving the quality of life of subjects with moderate to severe persistent allergic rhinitis and intermittent asthma. A secondary objective is to evaluate the efficacy of Nasonex in relieving the subject's symptoms of allergic rhinitis and asthma.

Read the detailed description

The primary objective is to explore the efficacy of mometasone furoate nasal spray (MFNS) in comparison with placebo in improving the quality of life of subjects with moderate to severe persistent allergic rhinitis and intermittent asthma as measured by the Rhinasthma Questionnaire (Global Summary Score). In addition, there are two secondary objectives. The first secondary objective is to evaluate the efficacy of MFNS in improving the quality of life of subjects with moderate to severe persistent allergic rhinitis and intermittent asthma as measured by the Rhinasthma Upper Airways Score, the Rhinasthma Lower Airways Score, and the Rhinasthma Respiratory Allergy Impact Score. The second secondary objective is to evaluate the efficacy of MFNS in relieving the subject's symptoms of allergic rhinitis and asthma as measured by the Total 5 Symptoms Score (T5SS) and the Global Symptom Score (T5SS+asthma symptoms) and by the use of rescue medication on demand.

Being tested
Mometasone furoate nasal spray (MFNS), Placebo nasal spray
Medical subject headings

What is being measured

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

  1. The Change of the Rhinasthma Global Summary Score From Baseline to Endpoint After 28 Days of Treatment.

    To explore the efficacy of mometasone furoate nasal spray in comparison with placebo in improving the quality of life of subjects with moderate-severe PER and intermittent asthma as measured by the Rhinasthma Questionnaire (Global Summary Score). The Rhinasthma is a questionnaire that consists of 30 items and for each of them subjects had to indicate on a Likert scale (1=not at all; 5=very much) the degree of limitation or discomfort caused by each problem. Possible total best score = 150 and possible total worst score = 30.

    Measured: Baseline and 28 days of treatment

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Mometasone furoate nasal spray (MFNS) in people with Allergic Rhinitis and Asthma, 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 10 inclusion and 24 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 21 May 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. 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 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 30 Apr 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?

The Change of the Rhinasthma Global Summary Score From Baseline to Endpoint After 28 Days of Treatment. (time frame: Baseline and 28 days of treatment). 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 NCT00599027, 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 21 May 2024.
