NCT ID: NCT00976209

Last Updated: 2015-03-11

Results Overview

Preference was calculated based on total participants that completed the study. Responses to the following questions in the consumer preference questionnaire were the basis for the preference endpoints: Which product, if any, did you prefer for the relief of nasal congestion? The possible answers were: * I preferred the relief of Treatment A (the every 12 hours white tablet; Phenylephrine HCl 30 mg Extended Release Tablet) * I preferred the relief of Treatment B (the every 4 hours red tablet; Phenylephrine HCl 10 mg Immediate Release tablet) or • I did not have a preference

Phenylephrine HCl 30 ER First, Then Phenylephrine HCl 10 IR
Participants received a 5-day run in period with Loratadine 10 mg tablets until the end of the second treatment period. Participants received Phenylephrine Hydrochloride (HCl) 30 mg Extended Release (ER) tablets every 12 hours, twice daily, for 3 days. After a 3 day (+/- 1 day) washout period, participants were crossed over and received Phenylephrine HCl 10 mg Immediate Release (IR) tablets, every 4 hours (no more than 6 times daily) for 3 days.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Visit 6 (Period 2, Day 4)

Population: A total of 319 of 331 subjects who completed both treatment periods provided a response to the primary endpoint, and hence were included in the Modified Intent-to-Treat (MITT) population.

Preference was calculated based on total participants that completed the study. Responses to the following questions in the consumer preference questionnaire were the basis for the preference endpoints: Which product, if any, did you prefer for the relief of nasal congestion? The possible answers were: * I preferred the relief of Treatment A (the every 12 hours white tablet; Phenylephrine HCl 30 mg Extended Release Tablet) * I preferred the relief of Treatment B (the every 4 hours red tablet; Phenylephrine HCl 10 mg Immediate Release tablet) or • I did not have a preference
