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

Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Study Type

Study Type

Describes the nature of a clinical study. Study types include interventional studies (also called clinical trials), observational studies (including patient registries), and expanded access.

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.
  • Phase 3

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 to 85 years (Child, Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

What is the study measuring?

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
Measure Description
Time Frame
Mean Change From Baseline in Daytime Nasal Symptoms Score Over the 2-week Treatment Period
Time Frame: Baseline and over the 2-week treatment period
Mean change from baseline in Daytime Nasal Symptoms. Patients were asked to rate each of the 4 nasal symptoms of Congestion, Rhinorrhea, Itching, and Sneezing daily on a 4-point scale [Score 0 (best) to 3 (worst)]. The average of the 4 individual nasal symptoms scores was reported as the Daytime Nasal Symptoms Score.
Baseline and over the 2-week treatment period

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Mean Change From Baseline in Nighttime Symptoms Score Over the 2-week Treatment Period
Time Frame: Baseline and over the 2-week treatment period
Mean change from baseline in Nighttime Symptoms Score. Patients were asked to rate each symptoms of Nasal Congestion Upon Awakening, Difficulty Going to Sleep, and Nighttime Awakenings daily on a 4-point [Scale 0 (best) to 3 (worst)]. The average of the individual symptoms scores was reported as the Nighttime Symptoms Score.
Baseline and over the 2-week treatment period
Mean Change From Baseline in Daytime Eye Symptoms Score Over the 2-week Treatment Period
Time Frame: Baseline and over the 2-week treatment period
Mean change from baseline in Daytime Eye Symptoms scores. Patients were asked to rate each of the 4 eye symptoms of tearing, itchy, red, and puffy eyes daily on a 4-point scale [0 (best) to 3 (worst)]. The average of the 4 individual eye symptoms scores was reported as the Daytime Eye Symptoms Score.
Baseline and over the 2-week treatment period
Patient's Global Evaluation of Allergic Rhinitis at the End of the 2-week Treatment Period
Time Frame: End of the 2-week treatment period
An evaluation by the patient, administered at the last visit (or upon discontinuation) using a 7-point scale [Score 0 (very much better) to 6 (very much worse)], of the change in symptoms as compared to the beginning of the study.
End of the 2-week treatment period
Physician's Global Evaluation of Allergic Rhinitis at the End of the 2-week Treatment Period
Time Frame: End of the 2-week treatment period
An evaluation by the physician, administered at the last visit (or upon discontinuation) using a 7-point scale [Score 0 (very much better) to 6 (very much worse)], of the change in symptoms as compared to the beginning of the study.
End of the 2-week treatment period
Mean Change From Baseline in Rhinoconjunctivitis Quality-of-Life Score After the 2-week Treatment Period
Time Frame: Baseline and at the end of 2-week treatment period
Patients completed a validated, self-administered Rhinoconjunctivitis Quality-of-Life Questionnaire, which included 28 questions on a 7-point scale [Score 0 (best) to 6 (worst)], across 7 domains: activities, sleep, non-nose/eye symptoms, practical problems, nasal symptoms, eye symptoms, and emotional. The individual domain scores were calculated as the average values of all scores within a domain, then the scores for the 7 domains were averaged for the overall score.
Baseline and at the end of 2-week treatment period

Primary Completion (Actual)

Primary Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention to collect final data for the primary outcome measure. Whether the clinical study ended according to the protocol or was terminated does not affect this date. For clinical studies with more than one primary outcome measure with different completion dates, this term refers to the date on which data collection is completed for all the primary outcome measures. The "anticipated" primary completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the primary completion date for the study.
