About this study

Official title: A Randomized, Double Blind, Parallel Group Study for Assessing the Efficacy and Safety of a Twice-daily Fexofenadine HCl 60 mg - Pseudoephedrine HCl 60 mg Combination or Fexofenadine HCl 60 mg - Pseudoephedrine HCl 120 mg Combination Versus Allegra® 60 mg in Patients With Seasonal Allergic Rhinitis

Primary Objective:

  • To evaluate the efficacy on the nasal congestion of a twice-daily fexofenadine HCl 60 mg - pseudoephedrine HCl 60 mg combination (FEX60/PSE60) and fexofenadine HCl 60 mg - pseudoephedrine HCl 120 mg combination (FEX60/PSE120) versus fexofenadine HCl 60 mg (FEX60) in patients with seasonal allergic rhinitis (SAR).

Secondary Objectives:

What is being measured

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

  1. Changes in the nasal congestion score based on the patient's symptom diary

    Measured: over 2 treatment weeks (from baseline to end of treatment)

Secondary outcomes (7)
  1. Changes in the total score of 4 symptoms, each nasal symptom (sneezing, rhinorrhea, and nasal congestion) and eye symptom

    Measured: over 2 treatment weeks (from baseline to end of treatment)

  2. Changes in total score of 4 symptoms on a daily, day-time, and night-time bases

    Measured: over 2 treatment weeks (from baseline to end of treatment)

  3. Changes in each symptom (sneezing, rhinorrhea, nasal congestion, and eye symptoms) score and the daily activity impairment score

    Measured: over 2 treatment weeks (from baseline to end of treatment)

  4. Changes in each symptom score and the daily activity impairment score on a daily, day-time and night-time basis

    Measured: over 2 treatment weeks (from baseline to end of treatment)

  5. Nasal findings

    Measured: over 2 treatment weeks (from baseline to end of treatment)

  6. Patient's impression

    Measured: over 2 treatment weeks (from baseline to end of treatment)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing fexofenadine HCL (M016455) and pseudoephedrine in people with Rhinitis Seasonal, run by Sanofi at 3 sites in Japan.

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 1 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 16 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 3 sites in Japan. 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 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

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?

Changes in the nasal congestion score based on the patient's symptom diary (time frame: over 2 treatment weeks (from baseline to end of treatment)). 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 16 Oct 2013.
