April 7, 2016 updated by: Azidus Brasil

Randomized Clinical Study for Efficacy Assessment Between Cloratadd-D, Loratadine + Pseudoephedrine (Coated Pill), Produced by EMS S/A Laboratories and Allegra-D , Produced by Sanofi-Aventis for Patients With Perennial Allergic Rhinitis.

The loratadine-pseudoephedrine combination has proven to be more effective than the use of these individual components. This prospective, randomized, double-blind and paralel study, in which patients with perennial allergic rhinitis receive one of loratadine + pseudoephedrine association drug for treatment of signs and symptoms during 4 weeks.

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.

Detailed Description

The effectiveness of treatment in each drug group will be evaluate by global improvement of signs (nasal mucous edema, ocular hyperemia, nasal secretion) and symptoms (itching eye, tearing,itching nose, itching on the palate) of perennial allergic rhinitis, after 4 weeks of treatment. Symptoms as rhinorrhea, nasal congestion, itching nose, sneezing and itching eye were considered as secondary efficacy endpoint, along with the questionnaire of quality of life SF-36. Safety evaluation data will include report of all adverse events (including type, frequency, instensity, seriousness, severity and action taken related to investigational product) reported by patients, parents or legal responsible, ou observed by Investigator.

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).
