Trial Outcomes & Findings for Study to Assess the Efficacy and Safety of BDP HFA Nasal Aerosol in Patients 12 Years and Older With SAR (NCT NCT00854360)

NCT ID: NCT00854360

Last Updated: 2012-05-22

Results Overview

Participants recorded the severity of their nasal symptoms (sneezing, runny nose, itchy nose and nasal congestion) over the past 12 hours twice daily (AM \& PM) using the following scale: 0=absent (no sign/symptom); 1=mild (sign/symptom present, easily tolerated); 2=moderate (awareness of sign/symptom, bothersome but tolerable); 3=severe (sign/symptoms hard to tolerate, interfere with daily activities and/or sleeping). The total nasal symptom score (sum of the 4 symptom scores) ranges from 0 to 12 (worst symptoms). A negative change from Baseline score indicates symptom improvement.

Participant Flow

A total of 685 patients were screened and 635 were enrolled in the study and participated in the Run-in Period. Of the 635 enrolled patients, 487 were randomized to treatment. The study was performed in the spring during tree and grass pollen seasons.

During the 7 - 21 day Run-in Period, patients self-administered a single-blind placebo nasal aerosol once daily in the morning and assessed and recorded their twice daily allergic rhinitis symptoms to determine eligibility for randomization.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline (Day -6 to 0) and Days 1-15 (2-week Treatment Period)

Population: The Intent-to-treat population included all randomized patients who received at least one dose of randomized study medication and had at least one post-baseline assessment.

Participants recorded the severity of their nasal symptoms (sneezing, runny nose, itchy nose and nasal congestion) over the past 12 hours twice daily (AM \& PM) using the following scale: 0=absent (no sign/symptom); 1=mild (sign/symptom present, easily tolerated); 2=moderate (awareness of sign/symptom, bothersome but tolerable); 3=severe (sign/symptoms hard to tolerate, interfere with daily activities and/or sleeping). The total nasal symptom score (sum of the 4 symptom scores) ranges from 0 to 12 (worst symptoms). A negative change from Baseline score indicates symptom improvement.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline and Week 2

Population: The RQLQ population included only those participants over the age of 18 years with an impaired quality of life at Baseline as defined by a RQLQ score at the Randomization Visit of 3.0 or greater.

The adult RQLQ has 28 questions in 7 domains (activities, sleep, non-nose/eye symptoms, practical problems, nasal symptoms, eye symptoms, and emotional). Participants were asked to recall their experiences during the previous week and to give their responses on a 7-point scale (0 = Least severe to 6 = Extremely severe). The overall RQLQ score is the mean of all 28 responses, and ranges from 0 to 7. A negative change from Baseline score indicates symptom improvement.

Population: The ocular population included only those participants with adequate ocular symptoms during the Run-in Period as defined by a mean daily 24-hour reflective score of 4 or greater for the 24-hour reflective ocular symptom score, over the last 7 days of the Run-in Period.

Participants recorded the severity of their symptoms (itching/burning eyes, tearing/watering eyes and redness of eyes) for the past 24 hours each morning using the following scale: 0=absent (no sign/symptoms); 1=mild (sign/symptom present, minimal awareness, easily tolerated); 2=moderate (awareness of sign/symptom, bothersome but tolerable); 3=severe (sign/symptom hard to tolerate, interfere with daily activities or sleeping). The total ocular symptom score (sum of 3 symptom scores) ranges from 0 to 9 (worst symptoms). A negative change from Baseline score indicates symptom improvement.
