About this study
Official title: A Phase IV, Open Label, Clinical Trial to Assess Safety and Efficacy of Fexofenadine HCL + Pseudoephedrine HCL Fixed Dose Combination in Indian Participants With Allergic Rhinitis (AR) Who Are 12 Years and Above (FAST Trial)
This is a single group, Phase IV clinical trial to assess the safety and effectiveness of Allegra® D. This study will be conducted in participants with allergic rhinitis who are 12 years of age and above. The individual study duration for each participant would be approximately 16 days (maximum of 13 days intervention + a 3-day post intervention observation). There would be 4 study visits in which the last visit can be done either telephonically or on site. Safety events would be captured for the entire study duration. In addition, the effectiveness of the study drug would be assessed using Nasal symptom score (NSS) and Total symptom score (TSS).
Read the detailed description
The individual study duration for each participant would be approximately 16 days.

Extended-Release Tablets
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Fexofenadine HCL + pseudoephedrine HCL | Experimental | Participants will take a tablet containing fexofenadine 60 mg and pseudoephedrine 120 mg twice daily for 10 days (+/- 3 days based on investigator's clinical judgement) Receives: Drug: Fexofenadine HCL and pseudoephedrine HCL |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Number of participants with treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs)
A TEAE is defined as any adverse event (AE) that occur in between the first investigational medicinal product (IMP) administration (on Day 1) and Day 16.
Measured: Day 1 to Day 16
Number of participants with treatment-emergent serious adverse events (SAEs)
A treatment-emergent SAE is defined as any SAE that occur in between the first investigational medicinal product (IMP) administration (on Day 1) and Day 16.
Measured: Day 1 to Day 16
Secondary outcomes (2)
Mean change from baseline in Total Symptom Score (TSS)
The TSS is the sum of physician-assessed nasal symptom scores for sneezing; rhinorrhea; itchy nose, palate, and/or throat; itchy, watery eyes; and nasal congestion, each accessed on 0-4 categorical scale (where 0 = no symptoms, 1 = mild symptoms, 2 = moderate symptoms, 3 = severe symptoms and 4 = very severe symptoms). Higher score indicated more severe symptoms.
Measured: Day 1, Day 13
Mean change from baseline in Nasal Congestion Score (NCS)
Nasal congestion was assessed by the physician on a 0-4 categorical scale, where 0 = no symptoms, 1 = mild symptoms, 2 = moderate symptoms, 3 = severe symptoms and 4 = very severe symptoms. Higher score indicated more severe symptoms.
Measured: Day 1, Day 13
