What is being measured

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

  1. Total Nasal Symptom Score (TNSS) over the last 2 hours of exposure in the EEC Percentage nasal lavage eosinophil count post EEC

    Measured: TNSS: 6-8h during EEC exposure on Day 10

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Measure of nasal cytokines (ECP, IL-5, IL-13, PGD2, Eotaxin)

    Measured: After 8h exposure in EEC

  2. Absolute eosinophil count from nasal lavage collected

    Measured: During exposure in EEC

  3. Nasal airway patency assessed by acoustic rhinometry during exposure in the EEC

    Measured: During exposure in EEC

  4. Total Ocular Symptom Score measured during exposure in the EEC

    Measured: During exposure in EEC

  5. Assess pharmacokinetics of plasma QAV680 in patients with seasonal allergic rhinitis

    Measured: Through out study

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing QAV680 and Mometasone Furoate in people with Seasonal Allergic Rhinitis, run by Novartis at 1 site in Canada.

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 6 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 18 Nov 2016. 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 Canada. 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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

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

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?

Total Nasal Symptom Score (TNSS) over the last 2 hours of exposure in the EEC Percentage nasal lavage eosinophil count post EEC (time frame: TNSS: 6-8h during EEC exposure on Day 10). 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 18 Nov 2016.
