Mometasone Furoate and Oxymetazoline in the Treatment of Adenoid Hypertrophy

September 23, 2015 updated by: Wenlong Liu, Guangzhou Women and Children's Medical Center

Combination Therapy With Mometasone Furoate and Oxymetazoline in the Treatment of Adenoid Hypertrophy Concomitant With Allergic Rhinitis

The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of MF/OXY in the treatment of adenoid hypertrophy children with severe allergic rhinitis.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

The investigators performed a two stages, parallel, randomized, double-blind, double-dummy, clinical trial in 240 AH children concomitant with perennial allergic rhinitis. In the first treatment stage, the 240 children were assigned to MF (50μg, 1 puff in each nostril every evening) or control group (normal saline) after two week's run-in period. After 6 week's treatment, the children in MF group were evaluated and grouped as responders and non-responders according to subjective symptoms and objective performance.

Responders were followed up for six months and reassessed. Non-responders underwent 2-week washout period and were randomly assigned to 4 groups receiving the following treatments: placebo, OXY (0.05%, 1 puff in each nostril every evening) or MF (50μg, 1 puff in each nostril every evening). All participants received 8 weeks' MF or its placebo plus one week's OXY or its placebo for every second week. After that, the patients were followed for six months and the evaluation was done at different time points.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Active Comparator: mometasone furoate
In the first treatment stage, 120 children were assigned to mometasone furoate (50μg, 1 puff in each nostril every evening) after two week's run-in period.
50μg, 1 puff in each nostril every evening
Other Names:
  • NASONEX
Placebo Comparator: Placebo
In the first treatment stage, 120 children were assigned to control group (normal saline) after two week's run-in period.
1 puff in each nostril every evening
Active Comparator: Oxymetazoline + Placebo
Stage two is a parallel, randomized, double-blind, double-dummy study. Non-responders underwent 2-week washout period and were randomly assigned to groups receiving Oxymetazoline and placebo.
1 puff of Oxymetazoline +1 puff of Placebo in each nostril every evening
Other Names:
  • Oxymetazoline Hydrochloride Spray + Placebo
Placebo Comparator: Placebo + placebo
Stage two is a parallel, randomized, double-blind, double-dummy study. Non-responders underwent 2-week washout period and were randomly assigned to groups receiving placebo and placebo.
1 puff of placebo +1 puff of Placebo in each nostril every evening
Other Names:
  • Placebo
Active Comparator: mometasone furoate + Placebo
Stage two is a parallel, randomized, double-blind, double-dummy study. Non-responders underwent 2-week washout period and were randomly assigned to groups receiving mometasone furoate and placebo.

Other Names:
  • NASONEX + Placebo
Active Comparator: mometasone furoate + Oxymetazoline
Stage two is a parallel, randomized, double-blind, double-dummy study. Non-responders underwent 2-week washout period and were randomly assigned to groups receiving mometasone furoate and Oxymetazoline.
