About this study

Official title: The Effect of Intranasal Corticosteroid on the Immune Response Following Nasal Allergen Challenge in Patients Suffering From Seasonal Allergic Rhinitis

Evaluation of the effect of fluticasone propionate vs placebo applied as nasal spray on the increase of allergen-specific serum IgE levels following nasal exposure to recombinant allergens. Nasal sprays will be applied for four weeks starting two weeks before nasal provocation and serum IgE levels will be followed during eight weeks after nasal provocation.

Being tested
Fluticasone propionate, Placebo

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Fluticasone propionate in people with Seasonal Allergic Rhinitis, run by Medical University of Vienna at 1 site in Austria.

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 5 inclusion and 35 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 26 Sep 2008. 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 Austria. 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. 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.

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?

Allergen specific IgE levels (time frame: 8 weeks). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00755066, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 26 Sep 2008.
