What is being measured

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

  1. Change From Baseline in Congestion/Obstruction Score

    At Baseline, the Investigator and participant jointly evaluated the signs and symptoms of congestion/obstruction. After Baseline, participants scored the signs and symptoms of congestion/obstruction every morning immediately prior to dosing using a morning instantaneous congestion/obstruction score. This score reflected the participant's condition at that time (instantaneous) and ranged from 0 to 3 (0=none, 1=mild, 2=moderate, 3= severe), with a lower score indicating less congestion/obstruction. Congestion/obstruction scores were averaged over Weeks 1-4 of the treatment period. Data are compared using Least Square (LS) Means. LS Mean Change from Baseline = LS Mean Score averaged over Weeks 1-4 - LS Mean Score for Baseline.

    Measured: Baseline and Weeks 1-4

  2. Change From Baseline in Total Polyp Size Score

    An endoscopic nasal examination was performed by the Investigator. Bilateral nasal polyps were scored as follows for each notril (left and right): 0=no polyps, 1=polyps in middle meatus not reaching below inferior border of middle turbinate, 2=polyps reaching below inferior border of middle turbinate but not inferior border of inferior turbinate, 3=large polyps reaching to or below the lower borders of the inferior turbinate or polyps medial to the middle turbinate. Total polyp size score ranged from 0 to 6 (scored 0 to 3 for each nostril), with a lower score indicating smaller-sized polyps. LS Mean Change from Baseline = LS Mean Score for Week 16 - LS Mean Score for Baseline.

    Measured: Baseline and Week 16

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Mometasone Furoate Nasal Spray (MFNS) in people with Nasal Polyps, run by Organon and Co.

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 17 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 21 May 2024. 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 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 19 Dec 2013). 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?

Change From Baseline in Congestion/Obstruction Score (time frame: Baseline and Weeks 1-4). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT01386125, 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 21 May 2024.
