A Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of Fluticasone Furoate Nasal Spray for 2 Weeks in Chinese Adult and Adolescent Subjects With Allergic Rhinitis

• Status: Completed
• Trial end date: 2010-07-01
• Target enrollment: 0
• Participant gender: All

Summary

The objective of this study is to compare the efficacy and safety of Fluticasone Furoate Nasal Spray (FFNS), that is FFNS with placebo in Chinese adult and adolescent subjects with Allergic Rhinitis as AR. There are 3 phases, 2 to14 day run in, 2 week treatment, and 3 to 5 day follow up. After run in period, at least 360 subjects with AR ( ages of 12yrs and 65yrs, inclusive) will be randomised to receive FFNS 110ug once daily or placebo for 2 weeks. The primary endpoint is the change from baseline of reflective total nasal symptom score (rTNSS) during treatment period, and the secondary endpoints include mean change from baseline in nasal finding scores by rhinoscopy at completion of study treatment, and severity of overall inference in activities of daily living. Safety measures include AE (Adverse Event) reports, ECGs (Electrocardiograph), physical exams, vital signs, and nasal exam. In addition, reflective total ocular symptom score (rTOSS) will be measured as an explorative endpoint, only in the specific AR (Allergic Rhinitis) patients with severe ocular symptoms.
