  • No healthy volunteers
  • Child, Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • Must be 12 years of age and older, of either sex, and of any race.
  • Must weigh at least 40 kg (88 lb).
  • Must be willing to give written informed consent and be able to adhere to dose and visit schedules.

  • Must be in general good health and free of any clinically significant disease (other than sinusitis) that would interfere with the study schedule or procedures, or compromise the subject's safety.
  • A subject's clinical laboratory tests (hematology, blood chemistry, and urinalysis), vital signs, and electrocardiogram (ECG) recordings must be within normal limits or clinically acceptable to the investigator/qualified designee. Any test results that are questionable should be referred to the sponsor.
  • A female subject of child-bearing potential must have a negative serum pregnancy (beta-hCG) test at Screening. She must agree to use a medically accepted method of contraception throughout the entire study period. Postmenopausal women will be exempted from the use of contraception during the study. Documented absence of menses for at least 1 year will indicate that a female is postmenopausal. If a pre-menarche female subject begins menstruating during the study, a serum pregnancy test must be done at the next visit. A female subject of child-bearing potential who is not currently sexually active must agree to use a medically accepted method of contraception should she become sexually active while participating in the study.

Who cannot join

  • A subject with moderate to severe persistent asthma that requires daily treatment with inhaled steroids, or an exacerbation of asthma within the past 30 days.
  • A history of chronic sinusitis (symptoms lasting greater than 3 months) or having undergone sinus or nasal surgery for chronic sinusitis or nasal polyps.
  • A history of symptomatic seasonal allergic rhinitis and who, during the study period, is living in or traveling to locations where the allergen to which he/she is allergic is present.
  • Subject with glaucoma or a history of posterior subcapsular cataracts.
  • Subject with nasal polyps visible upon physical examination, immotile cilia syndrome, immunodeficiency disease, cystic fibrosis, clinically significant cardiovascular (including rheumatic heart disease), pulmonary, renal, hepatic, metabolic, hematological or neurologic disease that in the investigator's judgment might interfere with the evaluation of the therapy, or subjects who are immunocompromised, in renal failure, or on dialysis.
  • Subject fails to observe the medication washout times outlined in the protocol prior to Screening.
Show all 12Show fewer
  • Subject has an allergy to corticosteroids or penicillins.
  • Subject has used any investigational drug within 30 days of Screening.
  • Subject has a concurrent need for antibiotic therapy other than study drug (amoxicillin/clavulanic acid).
  • Subject is anticipating sinus or nasal surgery within the next month.
  • Subject has been previously randomized into this study.
  • Subject is part of the staff personnel directly involved with the study or is a family member of the investigational study staff involved in the study.

About this study

Official title: Efficacy and Safety of 200mcg BID Mometasone Furoate Nasal Spray (MFNS) Versus Placebo as Adjunctive Treatment to Antibiotics in Relief of Symptoms of Acute Bacterial Sinusitis

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Nasonex® (mometasone furoate nasal spray), when used together with an antibiotic, for the relief of symptoms associated with acute bacterial sinusitis. Efficacy will be based on both subjective (assessment of symptom severity by the patient) and objective measurements (computed tomography [CT] imaging of the sinuses).

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Baseline Change in AM/PM PRIOR Major Symptoms Score (Mss) Minus Sinus Headache Averaged Over Days 1 to 29.

    The least squares mean decrease from Baseline in AM/PM PRIOR MSS, excluding sinus headache, averaged over Days 1 to 29. PRIOR is the subject's status over the previous 12 hours (reflective). The MSS was defined as the sum of the following subject-evaluated symptoms: facial pain/pressure/tenderness, sinus headache, purulent rhinorrhea, post-nasal drip, and nasal stuffiness/congestion.MSS scores are as follows: 0=none, 1=mild, 2=moderate, 3=severe for each individual symptom.

    Measured: 29-day Treatment Period and 2-week no-treatment Follow-up Period.

  2. Change From Baseline to Endpoint in Percent of Opacification of the Maxillary Sinus That Had the Maximum Opacification Score at Baseline

    A coronal computerized tomography was obtained to visulaize all nasal sinuses and the ostiomeatal complex. Opacification was measured as a percentage of the area of the sinus that was occupied by either fluid or mucosal thickening. The change in percentage of opacification of one maxillary sinus (the one with the highest percentage of opacification) as compared to antibiotic treatment alone. The percentage of opacification was measured and the change from baseline for that percentage was reported.

    Measured: 29-day Treatment Period and 2-week no-treatment Follow-up Period.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing MFNS and antibiotic in people with Sinusitis, run by Organon and Co.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 9 inclusion and 12 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 20 May 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 22 Jun 2010). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Baseline Change in AM/PM PRIOR Major Symptoms Score (Mss) Minus Sinus Headache Averaged Over Days 1 to 29. (time frame: 29-day Treatment Period and 2-week no-treatment Follow-up Period.). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 20 May 2024.
