What is being measured

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

  1. Total nasal symptom score (TNSS)

    Nasal congestion, rhinorrhoea, nasal itching and sneezing will be scored on a categorical scale from 0 to 3. Individual scores will be summed to produce the TNSS

    Measured: 2 day treatment period

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Eye symptom score

    Watery eyes, itchy eyes, red eyes will be scored on a categorical scale of 0 to 3

    Measured: 2 day treatment period

  2. Global symptom score

    Sum of symptom scores; TNSS, Eye symptom score, Other symptom score,(comprising congestion, rhinorrhoea, nasal itching, sneezing, watery eyes, itchy eyes, red eyes, cough, itchy throat and itchy ears) will be scored categorically from 0 to 3

    Measured: 2 day treatment period

  3. Nasal airflow resistance

    Measured: 2 day treatment period

  4. Safety parameters

    Spirometry, 12-lead ECG, laboratory assessments and adverse event assessment

    Measured: 3 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing RV568 in people with Seasonal Allergic Rhinitis, run by Respivert Ltd at 1 site in Austria.

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 12 inclusion and 13 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 6 Dec 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 Austria. 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. 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?

Total nasal symptom score (TNSS) (time frame: 2 day 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 6 Dec 2010.
