What is being measured

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

  1. Median Time to Onset of Nasal Symptom Relief as Assessed by Participant Diary Responses

    Time to onset of relief of nasal stuffiness/congestion, rhinorrhea, nasal itching, sneezing, itching/burning eyes, tearing/watering eyes, redness of eyes, and itching of ears or palate was assessed by the participant using diary response data in the morning and night for the first 3 days of treatment. The participants were asked to rate their relief on the following scale: 1=complete, 2=marked, 3=moderate, 4=slight, and 5=none. If a participant recorded a degree of relief that was at least moderate (3 or below), they answered the question, "When did you first experience noticeable relief?" and noted the date and time. The data were analyzed using a log ranked test and with a Kaplan-Meier estimate. Any participant who did not experience at least moderate relief by the end of 72 hours was considered censored at that time in the analysis. Time to onset of relief is presented in hours.

    Measured: From the start of treatment until onset of symptom relief (up to Day 4)

Secondary outcomes (16)
  1. Change From Baseline (CFB) in the Total Nasal Symptom Score (TNSS) Averaged Over 15 Days of Treatment, as Assessed by Participant

    CFB, averaged over study days 1-15, was calculated for TNSS assessed by participants. Participants scored 4 symptoms (rhinorrhea; nasal stuffiness; nasal itching; sneezing) in diaries using the scale: 0=none, 1=mild, 2=moderate; and 3=severe. The composite score ranged from 0-12 where a higher value indicated greater severity. A decrease in symptom severity is reflected by a negative CFB.

    Percent CFB was calculated as the difference between the baseline and 15-day average scores divided by baseline score multiplied by 100. Scores were recorded twice daily, in morning (AM) and night (PM). Average AM/PM scores were 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 was an average of the three AM and three PM scores preceding treatment.

    Measured: Baseline (3 days preceding treatment) through Day 15 (averaged over 15 days)

  2. Change From Baseline (CFB) in the Total Nasal Symptom Score (TNSS) at Day 4 as Assessed by Investigator

    CFB on study Day 4 was calculated for TNSS assessed by investigator. TNSS was a composite of the following symptoms: rhinorrhea, nasal stuffiness, nasal itching, and sneezing scores. The investigator scored each symptom during study visit on study Day 4, on the following scale: 0=none, 1=mild, 2=moderate; and 3=severe. The composite score ranged from 0-12 where a higher value indicated greater severity. Percent CFB was calculated as the difference between the baseline and Day 4 scores divided by baseline score multiplied by 100. A negative percent CFB indicated a decrease in symptom severity and a positive percent CFB indicated a worsening of symptoms.

    Measured: Baseline (Day 1) and Day 4

  3. Change From Baseline (CFB) in the Total Nasal Symptom Score (TNSS) at Day 8 as Assessed by Investigator

    CFB on study Day 8 was calculated for TNSS assessed by investigator. TNSS was a composite of the following symptoms: rhinorrhea, nasal stuffiness, nasal itching, and sneezing scores. The investigator scored each symptom during study visit on study Day 8 on the following scale: 0=none, 1=mild, 2=moderate; and 3=severe. The composite score ranged from 0-12 where a higher value indicated greater severity. Percent CFB was calculated as the difference between the baseline and Day 8 scores divided by baseline score multiplied by 100. A negative percent CFB indicated a decrease in symptom severity and a positive percent CFB indicated a worsening of symptoms.

    Measured: Baseline (Day 1) and Day 8

  4. Change From Baseline (CFB) in the Total Nasal Symptom Score (TNSS) at Day 15 as Assessed by Investigator

    CFB at Day 15 was calculated for TNSS assessed by the investigator. TNSS was a composite of the following symptoms: rhinorrhea, nasal stuffiness, nasal itching, and sneezing scores. The investigator scored each symptom during study visit on the following scale: 0=none, 1=mild, 2=moderate; and 3=severe. The composite score ranged from 0-12 where a higher value indicated greater severity. Percent CFB was calculated as the difference between the baseline and endpoint scores divided by baseline score multiplied by 100. A negative percent CFB indicated a decrease in symptom severity and a positive percent CFB indicated a worsening of symptoms. Signs and symptoms data collected by the investigator for Day 15 were not evaluated because the data was missing from the case report forms. The final endpoint was calculated using the last valid visit for each participant.

    Measured: Baseline (Day 1) and Final Endpoint (Up to Day 15). The final endpoint was calculated using the last valid visit for each participant due to missing data at Day 15.

  5. Change From Baseline (CFB) in Overall Disease Condition Score at Day 4 as Assessed by Investigator

    CFB on study Day 4 was calculated for the overall condition of seasonal allergic rhinitis as assessed by the investigator. The investigator scored the overall condition of the participant during the study visit on study Day 4 on the following scale: 0=none, 1=mild, 2=moderate; and 3=severe. A higher value indicated greater severity. Percent CFB was calculated as the difference between the baseline and Day 4 scores divided by baseline score multiplied by 100. A negative percent CFB indicated a decrease in symptom severity and a positive percent CFB indicated a worsening of symptoms.

    Measured: Baseline (Day 1) and Day 4

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing mometasone furoate nasal spray in people with Rhinitis, Allergic, Seasonal, 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 12 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 20 Sep 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?

Median Time to Onset of Nasal Symptom Relief as Assessed by Participant Diary Responses (time frame: From the start of treatment until onset of symptom relief (up to Day 4)). 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.
