Who may be able to join

  • Male or female subjects aged 19-60 years.
  • Females of child bearing potential must use appropriate birth control throughout the study and urine pregnancy tests must be negative prior to dosing at each study visit.
  • Subjects with a documented history of ragweed-induced seasonal allergic rhinitis requiring pharmacotherapy during the preceding 2 allergen seasons.

About this study

This study will be a randomized, double blind, placebo-controlled, parallel group study and will include subjects with ragweed-induced seasonal allergic rhinitis.

Read the detailed description

The primary goal of this proposal is to assess the ability of an intranasal corticosteroid, fluticasone, and montelukast to affect the upper airway and systemic physiologic, biologic and clinical parameters occurring after an early and late upper airway allergic response to ragweed in ragweed allergic rhiniticsThe assessment of early allergy responses in the nose has been fairly well established in our laboratory and we will use methods detailed in previous publications (21, 23 24). One potential challenge will be to sample upper airway mediators and cytokines without affecting clinical parameters such as symptom scores and acoustic rhinometry readings. Moreover, we will need to sample at time points throughout six or more hours in order to accurately determine the effects on late phase allergic responses. Nasal filter paper sampling is a technique that we are currently engaged in using, and we will work with Roche to elute the samples and measure multiple mediators and cytokines.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 6 inclusion and 8 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 10 Oct 2012. 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.

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?

Effect of nasal allergen challenges on biomarkers (time frame: December 2011). 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 NCT01240889, 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 10 Oct 2012.
