About this study
Official title: An Investigation to Evaluate the Technique of MRI as an Assessment of the Effect of Anti-allergy Drug Treatment on Internal Nasal and Sinus Mucosal Anatomy Following Intranasal Allergen Challenge in Subjects With Seasonal Allergic Rhinitis.
The purpose of this study is to establish whether MRI scanning is a sensitive measure of the effects of existing drug treatments on nasal dimensions following challenge with intranasal allergen in subjects with hayfever. If successful this technique could be applied to increase confidence for internal decision making and ultimately may be used to assess how effective a new drug treatment is.

- Being tested

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Cross-sectional airspace area (and thus also airspace volume) of the nasal passages
Measured: at 1hr post-dose and 30-60mins post-allergen challenge.
Secondary outcomes (1)
Volume of fluid identified adjacent to the airspace. Mucosal surface area. Nasal cavity volume. Nasal tissue volume derived from the nasal cavity volume less airspace and fluid volumes.
Measured: At 1hr post-dose and 30-60mins post-allergen challenge

Clinical summary
The research question as the sponsor registered it. This describes what the study plans to test, not what it found.
The purpose of this study is to establish whether MRI scanning is a sensitive measure of the effects of existing drug treatments on nasal dimensions following challenge with intranasal allergen in subjects with hayfever. If successful this technique could be applied to increase confidence for internal decision making and ultimately may be used to assess how effective a new drug treatment is.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
An observational study of Seasonal Allergic Rhinitis and Sinusitis, run by GlaxoSmithKline at 1 site in United Kingdom.
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 7 inclusion and 14 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 2 Sep 2013. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 1 site in United Kingdom. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
Are results available for this study?
The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.
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?
Cross-sectional airspace area (and thus also airspace volume) of the nasal passages (time frame: at 1hr post-dose and 30-60mins post-allergen challenge.). 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 2 Sep 2013.
