What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Change From Baseline in Total Nasal Symptom Score (Assessed by Participant)
Mean change from baseline (CFB), averaged over study days 1-15, is calculated for total nasal symptom scores assessed by participants. Participants scored 4 symptoms (rhinorrhea; nasal stuffiness; nasal itching; sneezing) in diaries on a scale from 0 (none) to 3 (severe). Scores sum to a total nasal symptom score (range: 0-12); higher values indicate greater severity. A decrease in symptom severity is reflected by a negative CFB.
CFB is the 15-day average score minus baseline score. Scores were recorded twice daily, in morning (AM) and night (PM). Average AM/PM scores are first calculated separately, then averaged together to compute the 15-day average score. If diary entries were missing, an average AM or PM score was not calculated. If neither average AM nor PM score was calculated, total 15-day average score was not calculated. Baseline score is an average of the three AM and three PM scores preceding treatment.
Measured: Baseline and days 1 through 15 (average of 15 days of treatment)
Change From Baseline in Total Symptom Score (Assessed by Participant)
Mean change from baseline (CFB), averaged over study days 1-15, is calculated for total symptom scores assessed by participants. Participants scored 8 symptoms (rhinorrhea; nasal stuffiness; nasal itching; sneezing; itching/burning eyes; tearing/watering eyes; eye redness; and ear/palate itching) in diaries on a scale from 0 (none) to 3 (severe). Scores sum to a total symptom score (range: 0-24); higher values indicate greater severity. A decrease in symptom severity is reflected by a negative CFB.

Secondary outcomes (8)
Change From Baseline in Total Nasal Symptom Score on Day 15 (Assessed by Physician)
The mean change from baseline on study day 15 was calculated for total nasal symptom scores assessed by physician. Total nasal symptom scores are a composite of the following: rhinorrhea, nasal stuffiness (congestion), nasal itching, and sneezing scores. Physician scored each symptom during study visit at baseline and study day 15, on a scale from 0 (none) to 3 (severe), totaling to a composite score from 0-12 where a higher value indicates greater severity.
A negative change from baseline indicates a decrease in symptom severity.
Measured: Baseline and study day 15

Total symptom scores are a composite of the following: rhinorrhea, nasal stuffiness (congestion), nasal itching, sneezing, itching/burning eyes, tearing/watering eyes, redness of the eyes, and itching of the ears or palate scores. Physician scored each symptom during study visit at baseline and study day 15, on a scale from 0 (none) to 3 (severe), totaling to a composite score from 0-24 where a higher value indicates greater severity.
A negative change from baseline indicates a decrease in symptom severity.
Measured: Baseline and study day 15
Change From Baseline in Total Nasal Symptom Score on Day 8 (Assessed by Physician)
The mean change from baseline on study day 15 was calculated for total nasal symptom scores assessed by physician.

Measured: Baseline and study day 8
Change From Baseline in Overall Condition of Seasonal Allergic Rhinitis (SAR) on Day 15 (Assessed by Physician)
The mean change from baseline on study day 15 was calculated for overall condition of rhinitis. Physicians scored participant rhinitis condition during study visit at baseline and study day 15, on a scale from 0 (none) to 3 (severe). A higher value indicates greater severity.
A negative change from baseline indicates a decrease in symptom severity.
Measured: Baseline and study day 15
Change From Baseline in Overall Condition of Seasonal Allergic Rhinitis (SAR) on Day 8 (Assessed by Physician)
The mean change from baseline on study day 8 was calculated for overall condition of rhinitis. Physicians scored participant rhinitis condition during study visit at baseline and study day 8, on a scale from 0 (none) to 3 (severe). A higher value indicates greater severity.
A negative change from baseline indicates a decrease in symptom severity.
Measured: Baseline and study day 8
Response to Therapy on Day 15 (Assessed by Physician)
Mean response to therapy based on the participant's status relative to baseline. Physician scored participant's response on a scale from 1 (complete relief) to 5 (treatment failure) during study visit on study day 15. A higher value indicates weaker response.
Measured: Study day 15
Response to Therapy on Day 8 (Assessed by Physician)
Mean response to therapy based on the participant's status relative to baseline. Physician scored participant's response on a scale from 1 (complete relief) to 5 (treatment failure) during study visit on study day 8. A higher value indicates weaker response.
Measured: Study day 8

Primary outcome
Change From Baseline in Total Nasal Symptom Score (Assessed by Participant)
Time frame: Baseline and days 1 through 15 (average of 15 days of treatment)
Mean change from baseline (CFB), averaged over study days 1-15, is calculated for total nasal symptom scores assessed by participants. Participants scored 4 symptoms (rhinorrhea; nasal stuffiness; nasal itching; sneezing) in diaries on a scale from 0 (none) to 3 (severe). Scores sum to a total nasal symptom score (range: 0-12); higher values indicate greater severity. A decrease in symptom severity is reflected by a negative CFB. CFB is the 15-day average score minus baseline score. Scores were recorded twice daily, in morning (AM) and night (PM). Average AM/PM scores are first calculated separately, then averaged together to compute the 15-day average score. If diary entries were missing, an average AM or PM score was not calculated. If neither average AM nor PM score was calculated, total 15-day average score was not calculated. Baseline score is an average of the three AM and three PM scores preceding treatment.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 3 study testing Mometasone furoate nasal spray (MFNS) and Loratadine in people with Rhinitis, Allergic, run by Organon and Co.
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 3 inclusion and 15 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 9 Feb 2022. 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. 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 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?
Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 26 Jul 2019). 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?
Change From Baseline in Total Nasal Symptom Score (Assessed by Participant) (time frame: Baseline and days 1 through 15 (average of 15 days of treatment)). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 9 Feb 2022.
