What is being measured

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

  1. Compare efficacy improvement of combination therapy group and mono therapy group by percent change of 4 TSS from baseline to end of treatment by investigator.

    Measured: 2 weeks

Secondary outcomes (10)
  1. Compare percent change of evening reflective 4 TSS from baseline to end of treatment by using patient diary.

    Measured: 2 weeks

  2. Compare percent change of instantaneous 4 TSS from baseline to end of treatment by using patient diary.

    Measured: 2 weeks

  3. Compare percent change of evening reflective nasal congestion score from baseline to end of treatment by using patient diary.

    Measured: 2 weeks

  4. Compare percent change of instantaneous nasal congestion score from baseline to end of treatment by using patient diary.

    Measured: 2 weeks

  5. Compare percent change of evening reflective 5 TSS (5 TSS - runny nose, itchy nose, sneezing, ocular symptom, nasal congestion)by using patient diary.

    Measured: 2 weeks

  6. Compare percent change of instantaneous 5 TSS by using patient diary.

    Measured: 2 weeks

  7. Compare percent change of evening reflective 4 TSS from baseline to each day by using patient diary.

    Measured: 2 weeks

  8. Compare percent change of instantaneous 4 TSS from baseline to each day by using patient diary.

    Measured: 2 weeks

  9. Compare improvement of QoL from baseline to end of treatment, by using RQLQ (Rhinoconjunctivitis Quality of Life Questionnaire).

    Measured: 2 weeks

  10. Compare responder rate (> 50% evening reflective 4TSS improvement) by using patient's diary.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Xarlin (Levocetirizine) and Cosalin (Petasites hybridus CO2 extract) in people with Perennial Allergic Rhinitis, run by HK inno.N Corporation.

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 13 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

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?

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?

Compare efficacy improvement of combination therapy group and mono therapy group by percent change of 4 TSS from baseline to end of treatment by investigator. (time frame: 2 weeks). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
