Trial Outcomes & Findings for Assessment of Fluticasone Propionate on Ocular Allergy Symptoms (NCT NCT01817790)

NCT ID: NCT01817790

Last Updated: 2014-04-03

Results Overview

The Reflective Total Ocular Symptom Score (rTOSS) is the sum of 3 individual participant-assessed symptom scores (eye itching/burning, eye tearing/watering, and eye redness), each evaluated using a scale of 0=None, 1=Mild, 2=Moderate, or 3=Severe, for a possible score of 0-9. Subjects completed rTOSS in the evening (PM rTOSS; 12 hours post morning nasal spray use) and once in the morning (AM score: prior to nasal spray use). Daily (i.e. during one dosing interval) rTOSS is defined as the average of the PM rTOSS and the AM rTOSS of the next day prior to AM dosing. The mean change from baseline in (daily, AM, PM) TOSS was calculated as the subject's treatment period mean (over 14 days; from Day 0 PM to Day 14 AM) minus the baseline period (placebo run-in) mean.

Participant Flow

Participants were recruited at 6 clinical sites in the US.

Of the 855 participants screened, 626 were randomized in the study. Of the 229 participants not randomized into the study, 151 did not meet the study criteria; 3 developed AEs; 10 were lost to follow-up; 4 violated protocol; 28 withdrew consent; and the remaining 33 were not randomized for other reasons.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline to 14 days

Population: All subjects who were randomized into the study and received at least one dose of study product were included in the intent-to-treat (ITT) population. This analysis was conducted on ITT population.

The Reflective Total Ocular Symptom Score (rTOSS) is the sum of 3 individual participant-assessed symptom scores (eye itching/burning, eye tearing/watering, and eye redness), each evaluated using a scale of 0=None, 1=Mild, 2=Moderate, or 3=Severe, for a possible score of 0-9. Subjects completed rTOSS in the evening (PM rTOSS; 12 hours post morning nasal spray use) and once in the morning (AM score: prior to nasal spray use). Daily (i.e. during one dosing interval) rTOSS is defined as the average of the PM rTOSS and the AM rTOSS of the next day prior to AM dosing. The mean change from baseline in (daily, AM, PM) TOSS was calculated as the subject's treatment period mean (over 14 days; from Day 0 PM to Day 14 AM) minus the baseline period (placebo run-in) mean.

Instantaneous total ocular symptom scores (iTOSS) assessments are self perceived evaluation of symptom severity immediately before the dose (how the subject feels at that point in time). iTOSS (possible score of 0-9) is the sum of 3 individual participant-assessed symptom scores for eye itching/burning, eye tearing/watering, and eye redness each evaluated using a scale of 0=None, 1=Mild, 2=Moderate, or 3=Severe. Mean changes from baseline were calculated as treatment period iTOSS minus baseline iTOSS.

The rNCSS is a participant perceived evaluation of overall congestion symptom severity (evaluated using a scale of 0=None, 1=Mild, 2=Moderate, or 3=Severe) which was completed once in the evening (PM), and once in the morning (AM). rNCSS is defined as the average of the PM rNCSS and the AM rNCSS of the next day prior to AM dosing. The mean change from baseline in rNCSS (daily, AM, PM)was calculated as the subject's treatment period mean (over 14 days; from Day 0 PM to Day 14 AM) minus the baseline period (placebo run-in) mean.

Overall response to therapy assessment was done using a 7-point categorical scale in which participants rated their response to therapy as follows: +3 = Significantly Improved; +2 = Moderately Improved; +1 = Mildly Improved; 0 = No Change; -1= Mildly Worse; -2 = Moderately Worse; -3 = Significantly Worse.

MiniRQLQ is a 14-item, disease-specific instrument for assessing the impact of allergic rhinitis on activities of daily living and overall well-being. It measures five domains of functional impairment that are most important to subjects with SAR: practical problems, nasal symptoms, eye symptoms, activity limitations, and other symptoms. Participants scored their degree of impairment on a seven-point scale. (0 - 6). Mini RQLQ final score is the average of sub-scales, ranges from 0 (best possible outcome) to 6 (worst possible outcome).
