About this study

Official title: A Randomized, Single-Dose, Single-Blind, Double-Dummy, Placebo-Controlled, Three-Way Cross-Over Study to Compare the Relative Efficacy of JNJ-39220675, Pseudoephedrine and Placebo for the Treatment of Allergic Rhinitis in an Environmental Exposure Chamber (EEC) Model

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the relative efficacy of JNJ- 39220675 and pseudoephedrine compared to placebo (medication with no active ingredients) in participants with allergic rhinitis (inflammation of the nose due to exposure to allergens such as pollen, dust or animal hair).

Read the detailed description

This is a randomized (the study drug is assigned by chance), single-dose, single-blind (a clinical trial in which the person giving the treatment, but not the participant, knows which treatment the participant is receiving), double-dummy, placebo-controlled, three-treatment period, cross-over (participants may receive different interventions sequentially during the trial) study of JNJ-39220675 in participants with allergic rhinitis. The duration of study will be 20-64 days per participant. The study consists of 2 parts: Screening (that is, 30 days before study commences on Day 1) and Treatment (consists of single-dose of either JNJ-39220675 solution [10 milligram], Pseudoephedrine tablet [60 milligram] or Placebo, in subsequent three-treatment periods, each separated with washout period of 6 days). All the eligible participants will be randomly assigned to 1 of the 6 treatment sequences. Participants will be given dose approximately 2 hours before entry into the environmental exposure chamber where they will be exposed to ragweed pollen for 8 hours. Efficacy will primarily be evaluated by measurement of nasal congestion that will be assessed through nasal cavity geometry that is, minimal cross-sectional area of nasal cavity by Acoustic rhinometry. Participants' safety will be monitored throughout the study.

What is being measured

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

  1. Baseline Adjusted Area Under the Curve (AUC) of Minimal Cross-Sectional Area (MCA) of Nasal Cavity by Acoustic Rhinometry

    The AcR was an objective measurement of nasal congestion that assessed nasal cavity geometry (that is, MCA) and changes in dimensions of nasal cavity. The AUC of MCA was used as response variable to assess treatment effect. AUC was adjusted for Baseline MCA scores. Baseline MCA was defined as minimum mean MCA at pre-dose (approximately 2 hours before Environmental Exposure Chamber [EEC] entry) resulting from 3 measurements on both, left and right nostrils in each of the treatment periods. The AUC of MCA was baseline-adjusted, by subtracting the Baseline value from each of the post-treatment times before calculating the AUC.

    Measured: 2 and 0.5 hour before drug administration and 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8 hours after drug administration at Day 1 of each treatment period

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Baseline Adjusted Area Under the Curve (AUC) of Total Nasal Symptom Score (TNSS)

    The TNSS was the sum of individual symptoms of runny nose, sneezing, itchy nose, and nasal congestions. Participants assessed each individual symptoms on a scale of 0-3 where: 0=absent, 1=mild, 2=moderate and 3=severe. TNSS score ranges from 0 to 12 and higher scores indicate worsening. The AUC of TNSS was used as response variable to assess the treatment effect. AUC was adjusted for Baseline TNSS scores. Baseline TNSS was defined as the symptom scores for each treatment period at pre-dose (approximately 2 hour before EEC entry).

    Measured: 2, 1.5, 1, 0.5 hour before drug administration and 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 3.5, 4, 4.5, 5, 5.5, 6, 6.5, 7, 7.5 and 8 hours after drug administration at Day 1 of each treatment period

  2. Change From Baseline in Total Nasal Symptom Score (TNSS) at 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 3.5, 4, 4.5, 5, 5.5, 6, 6.5, 7, 7.5 and 8 Hours After Drug Administration at Day 1

    The TNSS was the sum of individual symptoms of runny nose, sneezing, itchy nose, and nasal congestions. Participants assessed each individual symptoms on a scale of 0-3 where: 0=absent, 1=mild, 2=moderate and 3=severe. TNSS score ranges from 0 to 12 and higher scores indicate worsening. Change from Baseline in TNSS is the value at particular time point minus value at Baseline.

    Measured: 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 3.5, 4, 4.5, 5, 5.5, 6, 6.5, 7, 7.5 and 8 hours after drug administration at Day 1 of each treatment period

  3. Change From Baseline in Minimal Cross-Sectional Area (MCA) at 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8 Hours After Drug Administration at Day 1

    The MCA was measured using AcR which is an objective measurement of nasal congestion that assesses nasal cavity geometry (that is, MCA) and changes in the dimensions of the nasal cavity. Change from Baseline in MCA is the value at particular time point minus value at Baseline.

    Measured: Baseline, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8 hours after drug administration at Day 1 of each treatment period

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing JNJ-39220675 and Pseudoephedrine in people with Allergic Rhinitis, run by Johnson & Johnson Pharmaceutical Research & Development, L.L.C. at 1 site in Canada.

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 5 inclusion and 5 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 Oct 2013. 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 Canada. 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 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 30 Aug 2013). 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?

Baseline Adjusted Area Under the Curve (AUC) of Minimal Cross-Sectional Area (MCA) of Nasal Cavity by Acoustic Rhinometry (time frame: 2 and 0.5 hour before drug administration and 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8 hours after drug administration at Day 1 of each treatment period). 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 Oct 2013; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 8 Nov 2026.
