What is being measured

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

  1. Change in Tryptase Level From Baseline to Post-antigen Challenge

    Tryptase levels (mcg/L) were measured from nasal lavages

    Measured: After one week of treatment wtih veramyst or placebo

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Total Eye Symptom Scores After Antigen Challenge

    Watery and itchy eye symptoms will be scored based on the following scale: 0=no symptoms, 1= mild, 2= moderate, 3= severe

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing fluticasone furoate in people with Allergic Rhinitis, run by University of Chicago 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 3 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 8 Jul 2014. 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 8 Jul 2014). 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?

Change in Tryptase Level From Baseline to Post-antigen Challenge (time frame: After one week of treatment wtih veramyst or placebo). 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 8 Jul 2014.
