About this study

Official title: Patient Satisfaction and Sensory Attributes of Nasal Spray Treatments for Allergic Rhinitis

The study seeks to understand patients' satisfaction and importance of treatment attributes for Allergic Rhinitis nasal sprays from two brands (RYALTRIS® vs. DYMISTA®).

Read the detailed description

The study seeks to understand patients' satisfaction and importance of treatment attributes for Allergic Rhinitis nasal sprays from two brands (RYALTRIS® vs. DYMISTA®).

To directly compare patient satisfaction with 2 different Allergic Rhinitis nasal sprays, an observational, cross-sectional study design with 2 independent samples was chosen. Participants will complete an online survey involving a Best-Worst scaling (BWS) task to determine satisfaction and importance index for sensory attributes.

The suggested treatment attributes are informed by a range of previous studies, including those conducted by Meltzer et al 2005 and Price et al 2020, and methodology from CaPPRe's own work in developing indices for importance and satisfaction of treatment attributes using BWS.

  • ObservationalOther

    In this observational study, participants initated on RYALTRIS/DYMISTA nasal spray will complete a cross-sectional online survey that includes a Best-Worst Scaling task to capture their satisfaction and importance of various treatment attributes.

What is being measured

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

  1. Overall Best-Worst Scaling Task Index Score (Treatment Satisfaction Index Score)

    The primary study endpoint is the overall index score from the Best Worst Scaling exercise, to reflect satisfaction and importance of treatment attributes of the RYALTRIS® and DYMISTA® nasal spray.

    Index scores from the Best Worst Scaling exercise range from 0 to 100, with higher scores indicating higher satisfaction of treatment attributes.

    Measured: Cross-sectional - through study completion, an average of 3 months

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Rescaled Scores From Best-Worst Scaling Task

    Secondary study endpoints were the rescaled Best Worst Scaling domain scores from the Best Worst Scaling exercise (i.e., scores for each of the domains on satisfaction and importance).

    Rescaled Best-Worst Scaling domain scores range from 0 to 10 and represent the satisfaction and importance of each domain. Higher satisfaction rescaled scores indicate higher satisfaction on a treatment attribute. Higher importance rescaled scores indicate higher importance of the treatment attribute. Higher rescaled satisfaction and importance scores suggest a better outcome since participants are satisfied and more likely to adhere to their current treatment.

    Measured: Cross-sectional - through study completion, an average of 3 months
