Patient Preference Study of Fluticasone Furoate and Mometasone Furoate Nasal Sprays

Argentina, Australia, Russia300 participantsStarted 2015-03-26

Plain-language summary

The purpose of this study is to provide information on whether subjects with allergic rhinitis (AR) prefer the administration of fluticasone furoate (FF) nasal spray or mometasone furoate (MF) nasal spray based on how the products feel to the subjects when administered. This Phase IV interventional study is a multi-center, randomized, double-blind, single-dose, cross-over subject preference study to evaluate and compare patient preference for FF \[(total dose of 110 microgram (mcg)\] and MF (total dose of 200 mcg) nasal sprays in subjects with allergic rhinitis. These two commonly used nasal sprays use different actuation systems (FF nasal spray is side-actuated; MF nasal spray is top-actuated) and this study will evaluate whether this difference is reflected in the patient-assessed attributes of the two nasal sprays. The attributes or properties which are being assessed by the subjects for these nasal sprays include smell, taste \& aftertaste, drip down the throat, run out of the nose, urge to sneeze, and irritation. The single-day study per subject comprises screening and all treatments and procedures. Eligible subjects will be randomized 1:1 to a cross-over treatment schedule so that all subjects receive both products. One group of subjects will have two sprays of FF administered in each nostril whilst a second group will have two sprays of MF administered into each nostril. At 30 (± 5) minutes after the first study medication treatment, the two groups will switch. The first group will then have two sprays of MF administered into each nostril and the second group will then have two sprays of FF administered into each nostril. After each treatment the subject will complete two sets of attributes questionnaires ('immediate' and 'delayed'). A subject-rated 'immediate' attributes questionnaire will be completed immediately following each treatment and a subject-rated 'delayed' attributes questionnaire will be completed approximately 2 minutes after each treatment. Upon completion of the second set of these two attributes questionnaires (immediate and delayed), a preference questionnaire will be completed by the subject. In the preference questionnaire, the subject states their preferred treatment, if any, for each of the product attributes, and finally states their overall preferred treatment, if any. There will be follow-up contact with the subject 24 (± 4) and 96 (± 4) hours after administration of the last treatment. The study is planned to enroll about 300 subjects.

AI-rewrites the medical criteria so a patient or caregiver can understand them. Always confirm with the trial site.

Inclusion Criteria: * Male or female subjects who are between 18 to 65 years of age, inclusive at the time of signing the informed consent. * Severity of disease: Subjects who meet the below criteria and who may also have vasomotor rhinitis are eligible for the study. A positive skin test to perennial (for example, but not limited to, animal dander, house dust mites, cockroach, mould) and / or seasonal (for example, but not limited to, grass, tree, weed, ragweed) allergen within 12 months prior to Screening. If a subject has not been tested in the 12 months prior to Screening, a positive skin test (by prick method) is required at Screening. A positive skin test is defined as a wheal \>=3 millimeters (mm) larger than the diluent control for prick testing. In vitro tests for specific Immunoglobulin E (IgE) \[such as radioallergosorbent test (RAST), paper radioimmunosorbent test (PRIST)\] will not be allowed as a diagnosis of AR. * A female subject is eligible to participate if she is not pregnant \[as confirmed by a negative urine (preferred) or serum human chorionic gonadotrophin (hCG) test\], not lactating, and at least one of the following conditions applies: (a) Non-reproductive potential defined as premenopausal females with a documented tubal ligation or documented hysteroscopic tubal occlusion procedure with follow-up confirmation of bilateral tubal occlusion or hysterectomy or documented bilateral oophorectomy; or postmenopausal defined as 12 months of spontaneous amen…

Questions worth asking your doctor

Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.

1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?

Questions for the trial coordinator

The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.

1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?

A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
