Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages Up to 15 years
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Child

Who may be able to join

  • 15 years of age or younger
  • Body weight of 14 kg or more
  • Typical symptoms of perennial allergic rhinitis, and within 2 or higher score of serum specific immunoglobulin E (IgE) caused by house dust (HD) or mite in the data obtained with the past one year
  • "Moderate" or "Severe" in the Allergic Rhinitis Severity Classification during the observation period
  • The Patient Diary can be entered by the patient or parent
  • Outpatients

Who cannot join

  • Absolute necessity of treatment with a drug that may affect the evaluation of the effect of the investigational drug (e.g., anti-histamines, anti-allergics, steroid, vasopressors). Patients being treated with the following drugs, however, may be included
  • Intal® Oral or Inhalation
  • Any eye drops other than Zaditen® Eye Drop
  • External preparations (liniment, poultice)
  • Initiation of desensitisation therapy within the past 6 months
  • Onset of acute upper respiratory inflammation during the observation period
Show all 14Show fewer
  • Nasal disease, such as acute or chronic rhinitis, nasal polyp, hypertrophic rhinitis, septal deviation*, sinusitis*, and hypertrophied adenoid*, of such a degree that the disease affects evaluation of the effect of the test drug (*: X-ray examination will be conducted if necessary)
  • That pollen (cider, ragweed, Japanese cypress, orchard grass, etc.) is a double antigen, and that the study will be conducted in the season of air-borne pollen, and symptoms may be exacerbated by pollen
  • Present or past history of a convulsive disease, such as epilepsy (convulsion threshold values may be decreased by the comparator drug, ketotifen fumarate)
  • Clinically significant abnormal changes in laboratory measurements, and thus judgement that the patient is ineligible for inclusion in this study; however, if the patient is judged as falling into Grade 2 or more according to the MHW (Ministry of health and welfare) Adverse Reaction Severity Classification Criteria, the patient will be excluded from the study
  • Clinically significant renal, hepatic or cardiac disease, or other complications, and thus judgement that the patient is ineligible for inclusion in the study; however, if the patient is judged as falling into Grade 2 or more according to the MHW Adverse Reaction Severity Classification Criteria, the patient will be excluded from the study
  • Past history of drug allergy
  • 1 month, or 6 times as long as the half life of the investigational drug if it is over 1 month, will not have passed since participation in any other clinical trial study, at the time of the initiation of this study
  • Judgement by the Principal Investigator or Investigator that the patient is ineligible for inclusion in this study

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing WAL801CL dry syrup and Ketotifen fumarate dry syrup in people with Rhinitis, Allergic, Perennial, run by Boehringer Ingelheim.

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 14 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 14 Jul 2014. 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?

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 severity scores of nasal symptoms judged by the physician (time frame: 2 weeks of first administration of study drug). 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 14 Jul 2014.
