What is being measured

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

  1. Mean Percent Change in Reflective Total Nasal Symptom Score (rTNSS) From Baseline

    Responses to patient-completed diaries for reflective Total Nasal Symptom Scores (rTNSS). TNSS is composed of 4 individual assessments, which included runny nose, itchy nose, stuffy nose, and sneezing; each of the 4 assessments were rated using a 4 point scale that ranged in whole units from 0 (none) to 3 (severe). All 4 assessments are then added together for a composite score (TNSS score), the maximum of which could be 12. Reflective scores were assessed from the hour since the last dose of study medication.

    Measured: 14 Days minus baseline

  2. Mean Percent Change in Instantaneous Total Nasal Symptom Score (iTNSS) From Baseline

    Responses to patient-completed diaries for instantaneous Total Nasal Symptom Scores (iTNSS). TNSS is composed of 4 individual assessments, which included runny nose, itchy nose, stuffy nose, and sneezing; each of the 4 assessments were rated using a 4 point scale that ranged in whole units from 0 (none) to 3 (severe). All 4 assessments are then added together for a composite score (TNSS score), the maximum of which could be 12. Instantaneous scores were assessed at the time of daily dosing.

    Measured: 14 days minus baseline

  3. Mean Percent Change in Reflective Total Ocular Symptom Scores (rTOSS) From Baseline

    Responses to patient-completed diaries for reflective Total Ocular Symptom Scores (rTOSS). TOSS is composed of 3 individual assessments of ocular symptoms (itching/burning, tearing/watering, redness) each of the 3 assessments were rated using a 4 point scale that ranged in whole units from 0 (none) to 3 (severe). All 3 assessments are then added together for a composite score (TOSS score), the maximum of which could be 9. Reflective scores were assessed from the hour since the last dose of study medication.

    Measured: 14 Days minus baseline

  4. Mean Percent Change in Instantaneous Total Ocular Symptom Scores (iTOSS) From Baseline

    Responses to patient-completed diaries for instantaneous Total Ocular Symptom Scores (iTOSS). TOSS is composed of 3 individual assessments of ocular symptoms (itching/burning, tearing/watering, redness) each of the 3 assessments were rated using a 4 point scale that ranged in whole units from 0 (none) to 3 (severe). All 3 assessments are then added together for a composite score (TOSS score), the maximum of which could be 9. Instantaneous scores were assessed at the time of daily dosing.

    Measured: 14 Days minus baseline

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Olopatadine HCL Nasal Spray, 0.6% and Fluticasone Propionate Nasal Spray, 50 mcg in people with Seasonal Allergic Rhinitis, run by Alcon Research 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 4 inclusion and 9 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 30 Mar 2010. 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 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 10 Mar 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?

Mean Percent Change in Reflective Total Nasal Symptom Score (rTNSS) From Baseline (time frame: 14 Days minus baseline). The study lists 4 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 30 Mar 2010.
