Study summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate how well mometasone furoate nasal spray (MFNS) works to relieve SAR symptoms compared to Placebo when symptoms are induced in a chamber setting. Evaluation will be based on subjects self-assessed nose symptoms. Other areas the study will evaluate are: 1) changes in eye symptoms (ocular symptom severity score) after dosing 2) how long MFNS works in relieving the nose (nasal) and eye (ocular) symptoms after 7 daily doses, 3) measurements of nose (nasal) blockage (obstruction), and 4) measurements of the subject's opinion of the study drugs by asking different questions. This study is could last up to 53 days for some subjects.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Changes in the Total Nasal Symptom Severity Score (TNSS) at 6 Hours After Dosage Administration on Day 1

    Value at 6 hours after dosage administration (Day 1) minus value at Baseline. Minimum threshold TNSS response defined as TNSS score ≥6 out of a possible 12 for combined nasal symptoms of congestion, sneezing, rhinorrhea \& itching with a score ≥2 for nasal congestion. Rating of the severity of the individual signs/symptoms according to the following scale: 0=None, sign/symptom wasn't present; 1=Mild, sign/symptom was present, but not disturbing; 2=Moderate, sign/symptom definitely present, \& disturbing some of the time; 3=Severe: sign/symptom very noticeable \& very bothersome most of the time.

    Time frame: Baseline and 6 hours following initial dosing
