Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 years and older
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: Adult patients filling a new fluticasone furorate nasal spray (FFNS) prescription will be recruited across 50 branches of a retail pharmacy chain with co-located convenient care clinic located throughout the United States. Approximately 350 patients who have active seasonal rhinitis and have used an intra-nasal steroid (INS) other than FFNS and another prescription or over-the-counter allergy medication in the previous allergy season will be enrolled in the study.

Who may be able to join

  • Active seasonal allergic rhinitis
  • Initiating first-time treatment with fluticasone furoate nasal spray (FFNS)
  • Received treatment with at least one intra-nasal steroid (INS) other than FFNS during the last allergy season
  • Received treatment with one or more antihistamines, leukotriene receptor atagonists (LTRA), topical ocular medications, or any over the counter (OTC) medication for allergic rhinitis symptoms during the last allergy season
  • At least 18 years of age at the time of study enrollment
  • Able to read, comprehend, and record information in English
  • Have provided an appropriately signed and dated informed consent

Who cannot join

  • Received prior treatment with FFNS
  • Pregnant
  • Employee or family members of an employee of the study sponsor, retail pharmacy chain, or convenient care clinic implementing the study

About this study

This study is a prospective observational cohort study with 3-month follow-up among a cohort of intranasal steroid (INS) -experienced patients newly starting fluticasone furorate nasal spray (FFNS). The primary aim is to examine the effect of FFNS on the use and associated cost of concomitant allergic rhinitis medications in INS-experienced patients starting treatment with FFNS who have a history of prior concomitant medication use. The secondary aim will be to determine the effect of FFNS on control of allergic rhinitis, as assessed by the Rhinitis Control Assessment Test (RCAT).

Adult patients filling a new FFNS prescription will be recruited (within 4 days of starting their FFNS) across 50 branches of a retail pharmacy chain with co-located convenient care clinics. Approximately 350 patients who have active seasonal rhinitis and have used an INS other than FFNS and another prescription or over-the-counter allergy medication in the previous allergy season will be eligible for the study. A baseline questionnaire will be administered to collect information on patient demographics, a brief medical history of the patient's rhinitis, prior use of INS and other prescription and over-the-counter medications taken for allergic rhinitis, total out of pocket costs for the prior allergy season, number of office visits due to allergic rhinitis, and level of control of symptoms of allergic rhinitis.

At 1, 2, and 3 months post-enrollment, a follow-up questionnaire will be administered to collect information on medications taken for allergic rhinitis, office visits due to rhinitis, and level of control of symptoms of allergic rhinitis. In addition, pharmacy claims data will be abstracted for patients 1 year prior to enrollment and 4 months after enrollment to verify and supplement patient reported data as needed.

The primary outcomes will be rate of use of non-INS concomitant medications (frequency and duration) at baseline, and 1, 2, and 3 months follow-up and change in rate of use of non-INS concomitant medications (post vs. pre and from baseline to 3 months follow-up). Secondary outcomes will be change in total allergic rhinitis pharmacy expenditures (post vs. pre and from baseline to follow-up) and change in the level of control of allergic rhinitis, as measured by score on the Rhinitis Control Assessment Test (RCAT), from baseline to follow-up.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Rhinitis, Allergic, Seasonal and Seasonal Allergic Rhinitis, run by GlaxoSmithKline.

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 7 inclusion and 3 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 30 May 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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 was stopped early (reason given: Insufficient number of patient records met inclusion criteria). Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Non-intranasal steroid concomitant medication use (time frame: 3 months). 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 May 2017.
