About this study

Official title: Safety and Efficacy of AL-53817 Nasal Spray Solution in Ragweed Sensitive Subjects in an Environmental Exposure Chamber (EEC)

The purpose of this study was to determine the maximum tolerated dose of AL-53817 (Stage A) and evaluate the safety and efficacy of AL-53817 for the treatment of allergic rhinitis (Stage B).

Read the detailed description

Stage A was a 1-day, single ascending dose study utilizing 7 separate cohorts of unique subjects (healthy normal volunteers). Each cohort was administered a different dose of AL-53817 Nasal Spray Solution in order to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD).

In Stage B, 2 different cohorts of unique, ragweed-sensitive subjects were administered the MTD for up to 5 days twice a day to determine the safety and efficacy of AL-53817 Nasal Spray Solution for the treatment of allergic rhinitis. Subjects were required to meet minimum allergic rhinitis scores at two qualifying EEC visits to participate in the study. Subjects were continually housed in clinic during the 5-day treatment period.

  • AL-53817 nasal spray solutionDrug

    Active ingredients administered in 1 of 3 concentrations during Stage A to determine maximum tolerated dose (MTD), and administered at maximum tolerated dose during Stage B.

  • Vehicle nasal sprayOther

    Inactive ingredients used as placebo comparator during Stage A and Stage B.

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of Adverse Events in Stage A

    Adverse events, including serious adverse events and deaths, were reported regardless of test article relationship.

    Measured: Day 1

  2. Mean Change From Baseline in Nasal Congestion Over a 6-hour Period in the EEC at Day 5

    Stage B: Nasal congestion was assessed by the subject before entering the EEC and at 14 timepoints over a 6-hour period after entering the EEC. Nasal congestion was scored on a scale from 0-3, where 0=none and 3=severe. Baseline EEC was conducted up to 21 days prior to the 5-day treatment period.

    Measured: Baseline (pretreatment), Day 5

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Mean Change From Baseline in Total Nasal Symptom Scores (TNSS) Over a 6-hour Period in the EEC at Day 5

    Stage B: Nasal symptoms were assessed by the subject before entering the EEC and at 14 timepoints over a 6-hour period after entering the EEC. TNSS score (0-12) was a sum of scores for nasal congestion, sneezing, itchy nose, and runny nose scores, each individually assessed on a 0 to 3 scale, where 0=none and 3=severe. Baseline EEC was conducted up to 21 days prior to the 5-day treatment period.

    Measured: Baseline (pretreatment), Day 5

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing AL-53817 nasal spray solution in people with Nasal Allergies and Allergies, run by Alcon Research at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

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 20 May 2013. 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 United States. 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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

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 20 May 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?

Number of Adverse Events in Stage A (time frame: Day 1). 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?
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 20 May 2013.
