Rhinitis, Allergic, Seasonal
Conditions
Brief summary
The purpose of this study was to identify the lowest dosage of mometasone furoate nasal spray (MFNS) that provided adequate efficacy with an acceptable safety profile for children (ages 6-11) with seasonal allergic rhinitis (SAR). The MFNS dose levels of 25, 100, and 200 mcg QD were compared with beclomethasone dipropionate (BDP), as an active control, and placebo.

| Change From Baseline in the Total Nasal Symptom Score (TNSS) at Day 8 as Assessed by Investigator | Baseline (Day 1) and Day 8 | The mean change from baseline at study day 8 was calculated for TNSS as assessed by the investigator. TNSS was a composite of the individual nasal symptom scores of discharge (rhinorrhea), stuffiness, sneezing, and itching. The 4 individual nasal symptom scores were rated by the investigator at the visit as follows: 0=none, 1=mild, 2=moderate, 3=severe. TNSS was the sum of the 4 individual nasal symptom scores (range= 0-12; higher score indicating more frequent/severe nasal symptoms). For each participant, individual scores were totaled and used to calculate the change from Baseline in TNSS at the visit. Participant changes were then used to calculate the mean change for each treatment group at that visit. Change from Baseline = visit score - Baseline score (Day 1 visit). Negative changes indicate a decrease in symptom severity. |

Outcome results
Change From Baseline in the Total Nasal Symptom Score (TNSS) at Day 8 as Assessed by Investigator
The mean change from baseline at study day 8 was calculated for TNSS as assessed by the investigator. TNSS was a composite of the individual nasal symptom scores of discharge (rhinorrhea), stuffiness, sneezing, and itching. The 4 individual nasal symptom scores were rated by the investigator at the visit as follows: 0=none, 1=mild, 2=moderate, 3=severe. TNSS was the sum of the 4 individual nasal symptom scores (range= 0-12; higher score indicating more frequent/severe nasal symptoms). For each participant, individual scores were totaled and used to calculate the change from Baseline in TNSS at the visit. Participant changes were then used to calculate the mean change for each treatment group at that visit. Change from Baseline = visit score - Baseline score (Day 1 visit). Negative changes indicate a decrease in symptom severity.
Time frame: Baseline (Day 1) and Day 8

Change From Baseline in the Total Nasal Symptom Score (TNSS) on Day 4 as Assessed by Investigator
The mean change from baseline at study day 4 was calculated for TNSS as assessed by the investigator. TNSS was a composite of the individual nasal symptom scores of discharge (rhinorrhea), stuffiness, sneezing, and itching. The 4 individual nasal symptom scores were rated by the investigator at the visit as follows: 0=none, 1=mild, 2=moderate, 3=severe. TNSS was the sum of the 4 individual nasal symptom scores (range= 0-12; higher score indicating more frequent/severe nasal symptoms). For each participant, individual scores were totaled and used to calculate the change from Baseline in TNSS at the visit. Participant changes were then used to calculate the mean change for each treatment group at that visit. Change from Baseline = visit score - Baseline score (Day 1 visit). Negative changes indicate a decrease in symptom severity.
Time frame: Baseline (Day 1) and Day 4
Population: All randomized participants with a baseline score who completed at least one valid post-baseline visit and had available Day 4 visit data for TNSS.
