Fluticasone Furoate Treatment of Daytime Somnolence and Cognitive Performance in Seasonal Allergic Rhinitis
A Phase 4 study testing Fluticasone furoate Nasal Spray 110 mcg in people with Seasonal Allergic Rhinitis, run by Western Sky Medical Research.
Trial summary
The hypothesis is that treating hay fever patients who had daytime sleepiness and slowed thinking because of the hay fever will improve when treated with an effective anti-hay fever medication, an intranasal steroid, that is will have less daytime sleepiness and demonstrate better thinking.

About this study
Official title: A Double Blind, Placebo Controlled Randomized Trial Evaluating the Effects of Fluticasone Nasal Spray in Subjects With Seasonal Allergic Rhinitis and a History of Sleep Disturbance on Cognitive Performance and Daytime Sleepiness
The hypothesis is that treating hay fever patients who had daytime sleepiness and slowed thinking because of the hay fever will improve when treated with an effective anti-hay fever medication, an intranasal steroid, that is will have less daytime sleepiness and demonstrate better thinking.
Read the detailed description
In this study of patients with seasonal allergic rhinitis we will monitor daytime sleepiness as measured by validated daytime sleep score (Eppworth Daytime Sleepiness Scale) and cognitive performance weekly as measured by a validated test of cognitive performance (TOVA). The treatment group with intervention of fluticasone furoate nasal spray 110 mcg two sprays in each nostril once daily will be compared to a placebo treated group of similar subjects with seasonal allergic rhinitis.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Performance on Test of Variables of Attention (TOVA) - a Standardized Test of Cognitive Performance
The outcomes measures for TOVA are errors of omission. Targets which were not identified. Errors of commission are when targets are identified incorrectly. Reaction time is reported as the average time in milliseconds for the responses. The results are reported as mean and standard deviation as baseline and after 2 weeks of intervention. The difference between the means was evaluated by paired t testing.
Measured: over 2 weeks
Performance on Test of Variables of Attention (TOVA) - a Standardized Test of Cognitive Performance, Errors of Commission.
The outcomes measures for TOVA are errors of commission. Targets which were identified incorrectly. Targets which are not identified, errors of omission and average time of each target viewing.
Measured: after 2 weeks intervention
Performance on Test of Variables of Attention (TOVA) - a Standardized Test of Cognitive Performance, Response Time for Targets.
The outcomes measures for TOVA are the length of time to respond to targets. The time function represents the average time spent in milliseconds spent on each target.
Measured: over 2 weeks
Secondary outcomes (3)
Change in Epworth Sleep Scale
The Epworth sleepiness scale measures is a validated test of daytime sleepiness which involved the subjects answering 8 questions. Each question is answered on a 0 - 3 scale with 3 being the most likely associated with drowsiness. The score is reported as a composite score of 8 questions, with a minimum score of 0 and a maximum score of 24. A higher composite score represents more likelihood of daytime sleepiness. It is administered between 1500 and 1700 daily.
Measured: Baseline and after 2 weeks intervention
Change From Baseline in Nocturnal Rhinoconjunctivitis Quality of Life Questionaire
In nocturnal rhinoconjunctivitis quality of life questionnaire instrument to measure the effects of nasal disorder on nighttime sleep and awakening. It consists of 16 questions. The scale is from 0-6, 0 being not troubled and 6 reflecting extreme trouble. This survey is interpreted as a minimal clinically important difference of each question. A change of +/- 0.5 is a threshold of minimally important clinical difference. Higher value mean more disturbance.
Measured: 2 weeks
Nasal Symptom Scores
Total nasal symptom score was measured AM and PM. The reflective scale measures subjective symptoms over the previous 12 hours. Instantaneous symptoms measure how subjects felt at the present time. The score consists of subjective perception of nasal congestion, rhinorrhea, nasal itching and sneezing. The scale for each symptom is 0 - not present, 1- mild (present but minimal), 2 - moderate (symptoms are bothersome but tolerable), 3 - severe (symptoms are not tolerable). The baseline value was the mean of the 7 day placebo run-in for the combined scores. This was calculated for the placebo group and the fluticasone group for both the instantaneous and the reflective scores. The intervention time utilized the same combined AM and PM reflective and instantaneous scoring. The data was analyzed using two sample t test comparison of the placebo vs fluticasone furoate group. Low value, less symptoms. High value, more symptoms. Minimum score is 0. Maximum score is 24.
Measured: 2 weeks

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 4 study testing Fluticasone furoate Nasal Spray 110 mcg in people with Seasonal Allergic Rhinitis, run by Western Sky Medical Research.
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 6 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 May 2018. 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 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.
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 18 May 2018). 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?
Performance on Test of Variables of Attention (TOVA) - a Standardized Test of Cognitive Performance (time frame: over 2 weeks). The study lists 3 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 18 May 2018.
