About this study

Official title: A Randomized, Two-Way Crossover, Multicenter, Consumer Preference Study of Two Oral Formulations of Phenylephrine Hydrochloride.

This is a randomized, two-way crossover, multicenter study evaluating the consumer preference of Phenylephrine Extended Release Tablets, 30 mg to be taken as one tablet every 12 hours, or Phenylephrine Immediate Release Tablets, 10 mg to be taken as one tablet every 4 hours in subjects with at least mild allergic rhinitis and nasal congestion. Approximately 250 participants will complete a questionnaire after taking one test product for 3 days followed by a 3 day (± 1 day) washout period; and then taking the alternate test product for 3 days. Analysis of which product the consumer preferred, if any, and which product was more convenient, if any, will be evaluated.

Being tested
Phenylephrine Hydrochloride (HCl) Extended Release (ER) Tablets 30 mg, Phenylephrine Hydrochloride (HCl) Immediate Release (IR) tablets, 10 mg

What is being measured

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

  1. Percentage of Participants That Preferred Phenylephrine HCl 30 mg Extended Release Tablets, as Compared to Phenylephrine HCl 10 mg Immediate Release Tablets for the Relief of Nasal Congestion

    Preference was calculated based on total participants that completed the study.

    Responses to the following questions in the consumer preference questionnaire were the basis for the preference endpoints:

    Which product, if any, did you prefer for the relief of nasal congestion?

    The possible answers were:

    • I preferred the relief of Treatment A (the every 12 hours white tablet; Phenylephrine HCl 30 mg Extended Release Tablet)
    • I preferred the relief of Treatment B (the every 4 hours red tablet; Phenylephrine HCl 10 mg Immediate Release tablet) or
    • I did not have a preference

    Measured: Visit 6 (Period 2, Day 4)

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Percentage of Participants That Preferred the Convenience of Phenylephrine HCl 30 mg Extended Release Tablets, as Compared to Phenylephrine HCl 10 mg Immediate Release Tablets

    Convenience was calculated based on total participants that completed the study.

    Responses to the following questions in the consumer preference questionnaire were the basis for the preference endpoints:

    Secondary Endpoint

    Which product, if any, was more convenient?

    The possible answers were:

    • I preferred the convenience of Treatment A (the every 12 hours white tablet; Phenylephrine HCl 30 mg Extended Release Tablet)
    • I preferred the convenience of Treatment B (the every 4 hours red tablet; Phenylephrine HCl 10 mg Immediate Release tablet) or
    • I did not have a preference

    Measured: Visit 6 (Period 2, Day 4)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Phenylephrine Hydrochloride (HCl) Extended Release (ER) Tablets 30 mg and Phenylephrine Hydrochloride (HCl) Immediate Release (IR) tablets, 10 mg in people with Vasomotor Rhinitis and Seasonal Allergic Rhinitis, run by Bayer.

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 13 inclusion and 10 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 11 Mar 2015. 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. 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 25 Mar 2011). 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?

Percentage of Participants That Preferred Phenylephrine HCl 30 mg Extended Release Tablets, as Compared to Phenylephrine HCl 10 mg Immediate Release Tablets for the Relief of Nasal Congestion (time frame: Visit 6 (Period 2, Day 4)). 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 11 Mar 2015.
