MeasureTime frameDescription
Mean Change From Baseline in Daily Reflective Total Nasal Symptom Scores (rTNSS)Baseline and up to Week 4The TNSS was the sum of the individual symptom scores for rhinorrhoea, nasal congestion and post-nasal drip which was scored on a scale of 0-3 (total score 0-9). The severity of symptoms was defined as 0: none-symptom was not present, 1: mild-sign/symptom was clearly present but minimal awareness; easily tolerated, 2: moderate-definite awareness of sign/symptom that was bothersome but tolerable, 3: severe (sign/symptom was hard to tolerate; causes interference with activities of daily living and/or sleeping. The rTNSS was a rating of the severity of symptoms over the previous 12 hours and was performed in the morning (AM rTNSS) and evening (post meridian \[PM\] rTNSS). The daily rTNSS was the sum of two assessments. The Baseline daily rTNSS was defined as the average of the daily rTNSS over the 4 consecutive 24-hour periods prior to randomization, including the assessment on the morning of randomization. Change from Baseline was calculated as the on-treatment value minus the Baseline.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Mean Change From Baseline in Morning (AM) Pre-dose Instantaneous Total Nasal Symptom Scores (iTNSS)Baseline and up to Week 4The morning pre-dose iTNSS was the sum of the individual symptom score for rhinorrhoea, nasal congestion and postnasal drip performed immediately prior to taking the daily dose which were scored on a scale of 0-3 (total score 0-9). The severity of symptoms was defined as 0: none-symptom was not present, 1: mild-sign/symptom was clearly present but minimal awareness; easily tolerated, 2: moderate-definite awareness of sign/symptom that was bothersome but tolerable, 3: severe (sign/symptom was hard to tolerate; causes interference with activities of daily living and/or sleeping. The Baseline daily iTNSS was defined as the average of the daily iTNSS over the 4 consecutive 24-hour periods prior to randomization, including the assessment on the morning of randomization. Change from Baseline was calculated as the on-treatment value minus the Baseline value.
Number of Participants Based on Overall Evaluation of Response to TherapyWeek 4 (Day 29) or Early WithdrawalParticipants were evaluated effectiveness of study medication for relieving non-allergic rhinitis symptoms over the entire treatment period. The overall evaluation of response to therapy was based on a 7-point categorical scale (1-7) where the participants rate their perception of the change or lack of change in their VMR symptoms at the end of the study. The 7 categories were: 1: significantly improved, 2: moderately improved, 3: mildly improved, 4: no change, 5: mildly worse, 6: moderately worse and 7: significantly worse. Effectiveness of study medication for relieving VMR symptoms over the entire treatment period.

Participant flow

Recruitment details

The actual dose delivered from the product was 27.5 micrograms (µg) /actuation, which is therefore proposed as the label claim rather than 25 µg/actuation. Based on this spray content assessment, the dose examined in this study was actually 110 µg rather than the 100 µg dose indicated in the protocol.

Pre-assignment details

Males and females \>=12 years of age, diagnosed with vasomotor rhinitis (VMR) and meeting the symptom requirements entered a 7 to 14 days screening period. Following screening period, participants meeting specified symptom criteria received treatment of either fluticasone furoate or placebo in 1:1 ratio up to 4 weeks.

Participants by arm

ArmCount
Placebo
Participants were instructed to self administer two sprays of placebo into each nostril QD in the morning (AM), following pre-dose symptom assessment. Administration of the dose was performed by alternately spraying one spray to each nostril followed by a second spray to each nostril.

Fluticasone Furoate 110 µg QD

Mean Change From Baseline in Daily Reflective Total Nasal Symptom Scores (rTNSS)

The TNSS was the sum of the individual symptom scores for rhinorrhoea, nasal congestion and post-nasal drip which was scored on a scale of 0-3 (total score 0-9). The severity of symptoms was defined as 0: none-symptom was not present, 1: mild-sign/symptom was clearly present but minimal awareness; easily tolerated, 2: moderate-definite awareness of sign/symptom that was bothersome but tolerable, 3: severe (sign/symptom was hard to tolerate; causes interference with activities of daily living and/or sleeping. The rTNSS was a rating of the severity of symptoms over the previous 12 hours and was performed in the morning (AM rTNSS) and evening (post meridian \[PM\] rTNSS). The daily rTNSS was the sum of two assessments. The Baseline daily rTNSS was defined as the average of the daily rTNSS over the 4 consecutive 24-hour periods prior to randomization, including the assessment on the morning of randomization. Change from Baseline was calculated as the on-treatment value minus the Baseline.

Time frame: Baseline and up to Week 4

Population: Intent-to-Treat (ITT) population comprised of all participants who were randomized and received at least one dose of study drug. Only participants present at the specified time point were analyzed.
