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 6 to 15 years
  • All sexes
  • Healthy volunteers accepted
  • Child

Who may be able to join

  • Subjects will include females and males 6 to 15 years of age.
  • All subjects must have a history of physician diagnosed mild asthma and allergic rhinitis as documented by PCP medical record or detailed history by study investigator.
  • All subjects must have a height within normal limits (5th to 95th percentile) and no history of abnormal growth as assessed by medical history.
  • Subjects may be on current treatment with montelukast as this drug does not affect growth. If a subject is on montelukast at screening/baseline, they will remain on a stable dose throughout the study.

About this study

Official title: A Study Evaluating the Effect of Omnaris Nasal Spray 200 mcg QD & Alvesco Inhalation Aerosol 80 BID vs Beconase AQ Nasal Spray 168 mcg BID & QVAR Inhalation Aerosol 40 mcg BID vs Placebo Nasal Spray QD & Placebo Inhalation Aerosol BID on Short Term Growth in Pediatric Subjects With Mild Asthma & Allergic Rhinitis

This study will provide the clinicians guidance on the safest combination of inhaled and nasal corticosteroids for children with mild asthma and allergic rhinitis respectively; however, one safety concern is that these products are independently known to have dose-related effects on short term and intermediate term growth. Knemometry is a non invasive technique for measuring short-term lower leg growth in children and is currently the method of choice in growth studies of short duration. Subjects will be seen on a weekly basis for 18 weeks and at each visit, lower leg length will be measured using knemometry.

Read the detailed description

This will be a single-center, cross-over study evaluating the effect of Omnaris Nasal Spray 200 mcg QD and Alvesco Inhalation Aerosol 80 BID versus Beconase AQ Nasal Spray 168 mcg BID and QVAR Inhalation Aerosol 40 mcg BID versus Placebo Nasal Spray QD and Placebo Inhalation Aerosol BID on short term growth in pediatric subjects with mild asthma and allergic rhinitis. During the course of the study, subjects will be seen on a weekly basis and lower leg length will be measured using knemometry. Knemometry is a non invasive technique for measuring short-term lower leg growth in children and is currently the method of choice in growth studies of short duration. During the run-in and wash-out periods, subjects will not be treated with any medications or placebos. During the active treatment periods, subjects will be treated with Omnaris Nasal Spray 200 mcg QD and Alvesco Inhalation Aerosol 80 BID or Beconase AQ Nasal Spray 168 mcg BID and QVAR Inhalation Aerosol 40 mcg BID, or Placebo Nasal Spray QD and Placebo Inhalation Aerosol BID. Eligible subjects will be randomized into the study which will contain one run-in period (Period 1), 3 active treatment periods (Periods 2, 4 and 6) and 2 washout periods (Periods 3 and 5). Each period will be of 3 weeks duration and the entire study duration will be 18 weeks. Subjects will be seen on a weekly basis for 18 weeks and at each visit, lower leg length will be measured using knemometry.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study of Asthma and Allergic Rhinitis, run by West Penn Allegheny Health System at 2 sites in United States.

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 5 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 4 Nov 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites 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.

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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 14 Oct 2020). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

The Effect of Omnaris Nasal Spray & Alvesco Inhalation Aerosol vs Beconase AQ Nasal Spray & QVAR Inhalation Aerosol on Short-term Lower Leg Growth Velocity as Measured by Knemometry in Pediatric Subjects w/ Mild Asthma & Allergic Rhinitis. (time frame: 1 yr). 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 4 Nov 2020.
