About this study

Official title: Efficacy and Safety of 200 mcg QD or 200 mcg BID Mometasone Furoate Nasal Spray (MFNS) vs Amoxicillin vs Placebo as Primary Treatment of Subjects With Acute Rhinosinusitis

This study was conducted to compare the effectiveness and safety of mometasone nasal spray once daily or twice daily with amoxicillin or with placebo in treating the signs and symptoms of acute rhinosinusitis. Patients received mometasone nasal spray 2 sprays per nostril once daily, 2 sprays per nostril twice daily, amoxicillin 500 mg three times a day, or placebo three times a day. Patients on nasal spray were treated for 15 days and patients on amoxicillin or placebo were treated for 10 days. All patients were followed-up with a 14-day no-treatment observation period.

Being tested
mometasone furoate nasal spray (MFNS), MFNS, Amoxicillin, Placebo

What is being measured

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

  1. Average AM/PM major-symptom score (sum of rhinorrhea, post nasal drip, nasal congestion/stuffiness, sinus headache, and facial pain/pressure/tenderness on palpation over the paranasal sinuses) over the Treatment Phase of 15 days.

    Measured: Over 15 days

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. The total-, major-, and individual-symptom scores (for AM, PM, and AM/PM average) by week, and for Days 1-15, and 16-29.

    Measured: At end of each week, over Days 1-15, and Days 16-29

  2. Time to onset of action in the major-symptom score, defined as the first day active treatment was statistically significantly different from placebo, and sustained thereafter.

    Measured: Throughout the Treatment Period

  3. Global response between the groups at Visit 4 or the last treatment visit

    Measured: At Visit 4 or the last treatment visit

  4. Proportion of subjects who were considered by the investigator to be treatment failures, and proportion of subjects who discontinued early due to treatment failure

    Measured: Throughout the study

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing mometasone furoate nasal spray (MFNS), MFNS and Amoxicillin in people with Acute Rhinosinusitis, 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 7 inclusion and 7 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. 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 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

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?

Average AM/PM major-symptom score (sum of rhinorrhea, post nasal drip, nasal congestion/stuffiness, sinus headache, and facial pain/pressure/tenderness on palpation over the paranasal sinuses) over the Treatment Phase of 15 days. (time frame: Over 15 days). 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 NCT00750750, 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.
