Single-Center, Double-Blind, Randomized , Parallel Study Comparing Onset of Action, Efficacy & Safety of a Single-Dose of Fexofenadine HCl 180 mg vs Montelukast Na 10 mg & Placebo in Treating Seasonal Allergic Rhinitis Subjects in an Allergen Exposure Unit (Study I)

The primary objective of this study is to determine the efficacy and onsets of action of single-dose fexofenadine hydrochloride 180 mg and montelukast sodium 10 mg relative to placebo. Secondary objectives are to compare the safety and efficacy of fexofenadine hydrochloride 180 mg, montelukast sodium 10 mg, and placebo

Study Overview

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

15 years and older (Child, Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Genders Eligible for Study

All

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Male and female subjects, 15 years of age or older
  • History of seasonal allergic rhinitis (SAR) during the fall pollen season, for at least the previous 2 years
  • History of having a positive response to antihistamines for symptoms of SAR
  • Must be skin test positive to ragweed within the last 15 months with at least a moderate reaction as defined by a wheal 7 mm greater than the diluent wheal after intradermal skin test or a wheal 5 mm greater than the diluent wheal after skin prick test. A skin test performed in the previous 15 months may be used to qualify the patient if it was performed at the investigator's site and recorded in the subject's medical record
  • All females must have negative urine pregnancy test at screening visit
  • Willing and able to adhere to visit schedules and all study requirements

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Clinically significant medical condition (such as cardiovascular, hepatic, neurologic, hematological, renal, gastrointestinal, endocrine, or other major systemic disease), which, in the judgment of the investigator, might interfere with the study, require treatment or make implementation of the protocol or interpretation of the study results difficult
  • Asthma that requires treatment with medication other than an inhaled, short-acting beta agonist or asthma that will be exacerbated by exposure to ragweed pollen
  • Pregnancy or breast-feeding
  • History of hypersensitivity to the study medications or to drugs with similar chemical structures
  • Nasal structural abnormalities, including large nasal polyps or marked septal deviation, that significantly interfere with nasal air flow
  • Likelihood of requiring treatment during the study period with drugs not permitted by the study protocol
  • Upper or lower respiratory infection within 14 days of the first priming visit
  • Diagnosis of sinusitis within 30 days of the first priming visit
  • Immunotherapy, except those on a constant dose of immunotherapy that will be maintained throughout the study
  • Treatment with any investigational drug in the last 30 days before study entry
  • Recent history of drug or alcohol abuse
  • Mental condition rendering the subject unable to understand the nature, scope, and possible consequences of the study
  • Unlikelihood to comply with protocol such as those with uncooperative attitude or the inability to return for follow-up visits or to complete the study
  • Subjects who were randomized into this trial will not be eligible to participate in another fexofenadine hydrochloride 180 mg vs montelukast sodium 10 mg onset of action study (planned to be conducted in 2003)
  • Subjects who are research employees or relatives of study site staff involved in this study or those who have or will read the protocol

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
To determine the efficacy and onsets of action of single-dose fexofenadine hydrochloride 180 mg and montelukast sodium 10 mg relative to placebo in the treatment of subjects with moderately severe seasonal allergic rhinitis (SAR) in a controlled setting.
