The Efficacy Of Elonide Nasal Corticosteroids In Managing Allergic Rhinitis

Study Overview
=================
Brief Summary
-----------------
The aim of this clinical study is to compare the efficacy of Elonide Nasal Spray to Nasonex Nasal Spray and Placebo (non-active ingredient) in the management of allergic rhinitis. There are two hypotheses of this study: Elonide nasal spray is same efficacy to Nasonex nasal spray. Elonide nasal spray is more efficient to placebo.

Detailed Description
-----------------
There are several objectives of the study: To compare the efficacy of Elonide to Nasonex and Placebo in treating allergic rhinitis via Quality of life assessments and nasal airflow improvements. To compare the efficacy of Elonide to Nasonex and Placebo in treating allergic rhinitis via symptomatics improvement. To assess the side effect of Nasal spray given. Patients who meet the criteria to join the study will be randomized in a double-blind manner (patients and investigators). Patients will be given information about the study and consent form, patients will be randomized to 3 treatment group(Elonide, Nasonex, Placebo). Patients will be evaluated before and after treatment in one month time. Patients will be advised to use the nasal spray twice daily.

Arms and Interventions

| Participant Group/Arm | Intervention/Treatment |
| --- | --- |
| Experimental: Elonide Nasal Spray<br>Elonide is generic nasal spray Dose: 50 mcg/dose mometasone furoate 140 sprays per nasal spray One pump for both nostrils twice daily | Drug: Elonide Nasal Spray<br>* 50mcg/dose One puff for each nostrils twice daily<br>* Other names: Elonide;|
| Active Comparator: Nasonex Nasal Spray<br>Nasonex Aqueous Nasal Spray Dose: 50 mcg/dose mometasone furoate 140 sprays per nasal spray The usual recommended dose for prophylaxis and treatment is two sprays (50 micrograms/spray) in each nostril once daily (total dose 200 micrograms) One pump for both nostrils twice daily | Drug: Nasonex Nasal Spray<br>* 50mcg/dose One puff for each nostrils twice daily<br>|
| Placebo Comparator: Normal Saline<br>Placebo used is 0.9% sodium chloride Dose: 50 mcg/dose of 0.9% sodium chloride One pump for both nostrils twice daily | Drug: Normal saline<br>* 50mcg/dose of 0.9% sodium chloride One puff for each nostrils twice daily<br>* Other names: Placebo;|

What is the study measuring?
-----------------
Primary Outcome Measures

| Outcome Measure | Measure Description | Time Frame |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Change from Baseline in Symptoms Score on Allergic Rhinitis at Week 4 | The Visual Analogue Score (VAS) is a validated, self-reported instrument assessing average scoring of overall allergic rhinitis symptoms in the last 7 days period from treatment date. Possible score range from 0 (no symptoms) to 100 (worst possible symptoms). Maximum number of change from baseline indicate improvement of symptoms. Change= (Baseline score - Week 4 score) | Baseline and week 4 | 
| Mean difference from Baseline in Quality of Life Questionnaire on several domains at Week 4 | Rhinoconjunctivitis Quality of Life Questionnaire (RQOLQ) contains several domains score to access patient quality of life for a 7 days period from treatment date. The domains include activities, sleep, non-hay symptoms, practical problems, nasal symptoms, eye symptoms and emotional. Possible scoring from 0 (not trouble) to 6 (extremely troubled). Change= (Baseline score - Week 4 score) | Baseline and week 4 | 
| Change from Baseline in Total Nasal Resistance while normal breathing at Week 4 | Total Nasal Resistance is performed using Rhinomanometry device that provides a functional measure if pressure during a breathing cycle. Normal values for total nasal resistance is below 0.2 and to 0.3 Pa cm3/s. Worst case will be higher than 0.3 Pa cm3/s indicate nasal obstruction. Change= (Baseline score - Week 4 score) | Baseline and week 4 | 

Secondary Outcome Measures

| Outcome Measure | Measure Description | Time Frame |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Adverse effect of Nasal Spray | Any kind of side effect experience by patients in the period of using nasal spray | Baseline to week 4 |
