Brief summary:
This is an open-label, randomized, multicenter, 2-way crossover study in subjects 12 years or older with perennial allergic rhinitis (PAR) to evaluate the psychometric properties of a novel-patient administered assessment of treatment satisfaction with and preference of an Internasal Corticosteroid (INCS)

Detailed description:
This is an open-label, randomized, multicenter, 2-way crossover study in subjects 12 years or older with perennial allergic rhinitis (PAR) to evaluate the psychometric properties of a novel-patient administered assessment of treatment satisfaction with and preference of an INCS. Subjects will be randomized to 1 of 2 treatment sequences:

Sequence 1: Treatment Period 1 = ciclesonide hydrofluoroalkane (HFA) nasal aerosol 80 μg once daily; Treatment Period 2 = mometasone nasal inhalation 200 μg once daily

Sequence 2: Treatment Period 1 = mometasone nasal inhalation 200 μg once daily; Treatment Period 2 = ciclesonide HFA nasal aerosol 80 μg once daily

Total study participation will be approximately 8 weeks including a 3-week screening/baseline phase, a 1-week treatment period, a 1- to 2- week washout phase between treatments, a second 1-week treatment period consisting of the alternate treatment, and an additional 1-week follow up period after the last dose of study drug to assess safety. Subjects are required to continue to meet eligibility criteria for the second treatment period.

Nasal symptoms will be evaluated daily from 7 days prior to the first dose of study drug in Treatment Period 1 through the last dose of study drug in Treatment Period 2. The Allergic Rhinitis Satisfaction and Preference (ARTSP) and other Modules from the Phase V® e-Health Outcomes Information System (Phase V Technologies, Wellesley MA) will be completed two times during each treatment period (before the first dose and on the day after the last dose) via the internet at the clinical site. Patient preference will be evaluated at the day after last dose only.

Arms:
arm 1: ciclesonide hydrofluoroalkane (HFA) nasal aerosol 80 μg once daily in first intervention period, followed by a 7-14 day washout period, after which the second intervention of mometasone nasal inhalation 200 μg once daily will be administered. arm 2: mometasone nasal inhalation 200 μg once daily in first intervention period followed by a 7-14 day washout period after which the second intervention of ciclesonide hydrofluoroalkane (HFA) nasal aerosol 80 μg once daily will be administered

Interventions: intervention 1: ciclesonide hydrofluoroalkane (HFA) nasal aerosol intervention 2: mometasone nasal inhalation
Intervention descriptions: intervention 1: ciclesonide hydrofluoroalkane (HFA) nasal aerosol 80 μg once daily for one week. intervention 2: mometasone nasal inhalation 200 μg once daily for one week
