Rhinitis, Allergic, Seasonal
Conditions
Brief summary
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of mometasone furoate (SCH 32088) aqueous nasal spray 200 mcg once daily compared to placebo once daily in the treatment of participants with seasonal allergic rhinitis. Flonase (fluticasone propionate) nasal spray 200 mcg once daily has been chosen as the active control for this study.
Interventions
Mometasone furoate nasal spray, 200 mg once daily
Fluticasone propionate nasal spray, 200 mg once daily
Mometasone furoate placebo matching nasal spray, once daily
Fluticasone propionate placebo matching nasal spray, once daily

Study design
Masking description
Both participant and investigator were blinded to treatment identity. Because the mometasone furoate and fluticasone propionate bottles were not identical in appearance, a double-dummy study design was used and each bottle had a matching placebo. Thus, although participants received bottles of different appearance, they did not know whether bottles contained active substance or placebo.
Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
* 2-year history of seasonal allergic rhinitis * Positive skin test response to a local seasonal allergen (current, or performed in investigator's office within the past year) * Good health and free of any unstable, clinically significant disease, other than allergic rhinitis, that would interfere with the study schedule or evaluation of seasonal allergic rhinitis
Exclusion criteria
* Women who are pregnant or breastfeeding * Women of childbearing potential who are not using an acceptable form of birth control * Significant history of metabolic, cardiovascular, neurologic, hematologic, hepatic, gastrointestinal, cerebrovascular, respiratory, or renal disease, or any other disorder which, in the judgment of the investigator, could interfere with the study, or require treatment which might interfere with the study * Use of any chronic medication which could affect the course of seasonal allergic rhinitis * Asthma requiring chronic use of inhaled or systemic corticosteroids (inhaled bronchodilators are permitted for asthma treatment) * Current or history of frequent, clinically significant sinusitis or chronic purulent postnasal drip * Upper respiratory tract or sinus infection that requires antibiotic therapy within the previous 2 weeks, or a viral upper respiratory infection (URI) within the 7 days prior to Screening * Dependence upon nasal, oral or ocular decongestants, or nasal topical antihistamines, in the opinion of the investigator * Has rhinitis medicamentosa * Investigational drug use within the previous 30 days * Nasal structural abnormalities, including large nasal polyps and marked septal deviation, that significantly interfere with nasal air flow * Immunotherapy (desensitization therapy), unless on a stable maintenance schedule for at least one month prior to the Screening visit * History of multiple drug allergies, allergy to antihistamines or corticoids * History of psychosis, antagonistic personality, poor motivation, hypochondriasis, or any other emotional or intellectual problems that are likely to limit the validity of consent to participate in the study

| Change From Baseline in Total Nasal Symptom Score Averaged Over Day 1 Through Day 15 (Based on Participant Diaries) | Baseline and Day 1 through Day 15 (averaged over 15 days) | Change from baseline averaged over study Day 1 through study Day 15 was calculated for Total Nasal Symptom Score, based on participant diaries. Participants scored 4 symptoms (rhinorrhea, stuffiness, itching, sneezing) in their diaries using the following scale: 0=none, 1=mild, 2=moderate, 3=severe. The Total Nasal Symptom Score was the sum of the 4 individual scores (range=0-12; higher score indicating more frequent/severe nasal symptoms.) Change from baseline was the 15-day average score minus the baseline score. Scores were recorded twice daily, in the morning (AM) and night (PM). Average AM/PM scores were first calculated separately, then averaged together to obtain the 15-day average score. Baseline score was an average of the 3 AM scores and 3 PM scores preceding treatment. Negative changes indicated a decrease in symptom severity. |

| Change From Baseline in the Total Nasal Symptom Score at Day 15 (Physician Evaluation) | Baseline (Day 1) and Day 15 | Change from baseline at Day 15 was calculated for the Total Nasal Symptom Score, as assessed by the physician. The Total Nasal Symptom Score was a composite of the following symptoms: rhinorrhea, nasal stuffiness, nasal itching, and sneezing scores. The physician scored each symptom during the study visit on the following scale: 0=none, 1=mild, 2=moderate; and 3=severe. The composite score ranged from 0-12.
