A Study of the Efficacy and Safety of Desloratadine (MK-4117) in Japanese Participants With Perennial Allergic Rhinitis (MK-4117-200)
February 7, 2022 updated by: Organon and Co
A Phase III, Multi-Center, Randomized, Parallel-Group, Placebo-Controlled and Double- Blind Trial to Study the Efficacy and Safety of MK-4117 in Japanese Subjects With Perennial Allergic Rhinitis
This is a study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of desloratadine (MK-4117) in Japanese participants with perennial allergic rhinitis.
The primary hypothesis is that desloratadine is superior to placebo after 2 weeks of treatment with regard to change from baseline in Total Nasal Symptom Score among Japanese participants with perennial allergic rhinitis.

Primary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Change From Baseline in Total Nasal Symptom Score (TNSS) Assessed by the Investigator at Week 2
Time Frame: Baseline and Week 2
|
The investigator interviewed and examined participants to evaluate for nasal symptoms of: sneezing (daily frequency of attacks; score of 0=less than 1 time to 3=11+ times), rhinorrhea (daily frequency of blowing nose; score of 0=less than 1 time to 3=11+ times), nasal congestion (score of 0=less than nasal blockage without oral breathing to 3=severe nasal blockage causing prolonged oral breathing in a day), and nasal itching (score of 0=none to 3=nose is itchy, requiring frequent rubbing or blowing nose).
The TNSS is the sum of the 4 nasal symptom sub-scores.
TNSS scores could range from 0 to 12, with a higher score indicating more frequent/severe nasal symptoms.
|
Baseline and Week 2
|
Number of Participants Experiencing an Adverse Event (AE)
Time Frame: Up to Week 4
|
An AE is defined as any unfavourable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding, for example), symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of the study drug or protocol-specified procedure, whether or not considered related to the study drug or protocol-specified procedure.
Any worsening (i.e., any clinically significant adverse change in frequency and/or intensity) of a pre-existing condition that is temporally associated with the use of the study drug, is also an AE.
The number of participants who experienced an AE, regardless of causality or severity, was summarized.
|
Up to Week 4
|
Number of Participants Discontinuing Study Drug Due to an AE
Time Frame: Up to Week 2
|
An AE is defined as any unfavourable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding, for example), symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of the study drug or protocol-specified procedure, whether or not considered related to the study drug or protocol-specified procedure.
Any worsening (i.e., any clinically significant adverse change in frequency and/or intensity) of a pre-existing condition that is temporally associated with the use of the study drug, is also an AE.
The number of participants who discontinued study drug, whether permanently or temporarily, due to an AE was summarized.
|
Up to Week 2
|
Secondary Outcome Measures

Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Change From Baseline in Total Nasal Symptom Score (TNSS) Assessed by the Investigator at Day 3 and Week 1
Time Frame: Baseline and Day 3, Week 1
|
The investigator interviewed and examined participants to evaluate for nasal symptoms of: sneezing (daily frequency of attacks; score of 0=less than 1 time to 3=11+ times), rhinorrhea (daily frequency of blowing nose; score of 0=less than 1 time to 3=11+ times), nasal congestion (score of 0=less than nasal blockage without oral breathing to 3=severe nasal blockage causing prolonged oral breathing in a day), and nasal itching (score of 0=none to 3=nose is itchy, requiring frequent rubbing or blowing nose).
The TNSS is the sum of the 4 nasal symptom sub-scores.
TNSS scores could range from 0 to 12, with a higher score indicating more frequent/severe nasal symptoms.

|
Change From Baseline in Nasal Symptom Sub-Scores Assessed by the Investigator
Time Frame: Baseline and Day 3, Week 1, Week 2
|
The investigator interviewed and examined participants to evaluate for nasal symptoms of: sneezing (daily frequency of attackes; score of 0=less than 1 time to 3=11+ times), rhinorrhea (daily frequency of blowing nose; score of 0=less than 1 time to 3=11+ times), nasal congestion (score of 0=less than nasal blockage without oral breathing to 3=severe nasal blockage causing prolonged oral breathing in a day), and nasal itching (score of 0=none to 3=nose is itchy, requiring frequent rubbing or blowing nose).

Time Frame: Baseline and Day 3, Week 1, Week 2
|
The investigator conducted rhinoscopic examinations on participants to evaluate: swelling of inferior nasal concha mucosa (INCM) (score of 0=none to 3=middle nasal concha is not visible), coloring of inferior nasal concha mucosa (INCM) (score of 0=normal to 3=pale), and nasal discharge production (NDP) (score of 0=none to 3=congesting).
The score for each nasal finding component could range from 0 to 3, with a higher score indicating more severe symptoms.
|
Baseline and Day 3, Week 1, Week 2
|
Change From Baseline in Eye Symptom Score Assessed by the Investigator
Time Frame: Baseline and Day 3, Week 1, Week 2
|
The investigator interviewed and examined participants for eye (itching) symptoms (score of 0=none to 3=eye is itchy, requiring frequent rubbing of eye).
Eye symptom scores could range from 0 to 3, with a higher score indicating greater eye itchiness.

|
The investigator comprehensively evaluated participants on global improvement according to 5 grades: 1=remarkably improved, 2= moderately improved, 3=slightly improved, 4=unchanged, and 5=aggravated.
The number of participants who were evaluated as remarkably improved and moderately improved was calculated.
|
Day 3, Week 1, Week 2
|
Change From Baseline in Score on Interference With Daily Activities Assessed by the Investigator
Time Frame: Baseline and Day 3, Week 1, Week 2
|
The investigator interviewed participants at Baseline, Day 3, Week 1 and Week 2 to evaluate interference with daily activities according to the following scale: 0=none, 1=nasal symptom interferes with daily activities from time to time (+), 2=between 1 and 3 (++), and 3=nasal symtom interferes with daily activity often (+++).
Interference with daily activities scores could range from 0 to 3, with a higher score indicating greater interference with daily activities.
|
Baseline and Day 3, Week 1, Week 2
|
Change From Baseline in Nasal Symptom Sub-Scores Reported in Participant Diaries

|
Participants evaluated themselves in their daily allergy diaries for nasal symptoms of: sneezing (daily frequency of attacks; score of 0=less than 1 time to 3=11+ times), rhinorrhea (daily frequency of blowing nose; score of 0=less than 1 time to 3=11+ times), nasal congestion (score of 0=less than nasal blockage without oral breathing to 3=severe nasal blockage causing prolonged oral breathing in a day), and nasal itching (score of 0=none to 3=nose is itchy, requiring frequent rubbing or blowing nose).
Each nasal symptom sub-score could range from 0 to 3, with a higher sub-score indicating more frequent/severe nasal symptoms.
