E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
The study objectives were to assess the efficacy and safety of 8-week treatment with Mometasone Furoate nasal spray (MFNS) 100 μg twice daily (b.i.d) (1 puff of 50 μg in each nasal fossa) in children aged 2 to 11 years with adenoid hypertrophy (AH) with or without otitis media effusion (OME). |
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
Secondary objectives were improvement in Total and Individual Severity Symptoms Score and Frequency Symptoms Score graded by the parents during the study, physical examination, bilateral tympanogram, Quality of Sleep and Quality of Life, rhinomanometry, pure tone audiometry and acoustic rhinometry in children from 7 to 11 years old. |
|
E.2.3 | Trial contains a sub-study | No |
E.3 | Principal inclusion criteria |
•Subjects and their parents must have demonstrated their willingness to participate in the study and comply with these procedures. Parents must have signed a written informed consent.
•Children 2 to 11 years old of any gender and ethnic background.
•Subjects and subject’s parents who must have understood and would be able to adhere to dosing and visit schedules, and agree to record symptom severity scale scores, medication times and concomitant medications accurately and consistently in a diary.
•Children with a history of AH for at least 3 months with no response to previous medical treatment.
•Size of adenoid tissue must have been graded by nasopharyngoscopic examination as Grade III or IV on the A/C Index at baseline (between 50% and 100% obstruction).
•Baseline total symptom severity score must have been at least 8 points AM (morning) or PM (evening).
•OME criteria for the study were as follows: (1) persistent middle ear effusion documented by otoscopic examination for the past 3 months at study entry, (2) middle ear pressure less than - 10 mm H2O, (3) Jerger type B flat tympanogram and/or (4) mild-to-moderate conductive hearing loss in audiometry supporting the diagnosis of OME. Each ear must have been evaluated separately during the study.
•Subjects’ parents must have understood and would be able to adhere to dosing and visit schedules, and agree to record symptom severity scores, medication times, concomitant medications, and adverse events accurately and consistently in a daily diary.
|
|
E.4 | Principal exclusion criteria |
•Subjects with previous surgery of AH with or without tympanostomy tube placement.
•Subjects previously treated with inhaled or systemic corticosteroids within the past 1 month.
•Subjects with Morbid Obesity (Body Mass Index [BMI] >95 percentile of charts from the Center for Disease Control [CDC]).
•Subjects who had not accomplished the designated washout period for any of the prohibited medications and subjects who had used any investigational products within the last 30 days or any antibodies for allergies within 90 days of study enrollment.
•Subjects who had any clinically significant abnormal physical examination result which, in the investigator’s judgment, which may have interfered with study evaluations or affect subject safety.
•Subjects who were allergic or who had an idiosyncratic reaction to
corticosteroids.
•Subjects with signs and symptoms of acute or chronic bacterial rhinosinusitis. Subjects who have had an upper or lower respiratory tract or paranasal sinus infection which required antibiotic therapy with the last dose not later than 14 days prior to recruitment, or who have had a viral upper or lower respiratory
tract infection within 7 days prior to recruitment.
•Subjects with a documented immunodeficiency condition.
•Subjects with nasal structural abnormalities, including large nasal polyps and marked septum deviation that significantly interferes with nasal airflow.
•Subjects with any clinically significant metabolic, cardiovascular, neurologic, hematologic, gastrointestinal, cerebrovascular, or respiratory disease (other than asthma), or any other disorder which, in the investigator’s judgment, may have interfered with study evaluations or affect subject safety.

E.5 End points |
E.5.1 | Primary end point(s) |
The primary efficacy endpoint was the reduction in adenoid size as compared to baseline and throughout the study evaluated by nasopharyngoscopy. |
|
E.5.1.1 | Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point |
|
E.5.2 | Secondary end point(s) |
Secondary efficacy endpoints were:
•Improvement in total severity symptom sore (morning [AM] and evening [PM]
scores including scores for snoring, nasal obstruction, oral breathing, ear pain, nasal discharge and breathing difficulty).
•Improvement in measures of bilateral tympanogram from baseline to assessment and 16-week follow-up period in all subjects.
•Improvement in rhinomanometry, acoustic rhinometry and pure-tone audiometry measures from baseline to throughout the course of the study in children aged 7 to 11 years from baseline to the 16-week follow-up period.
•Improvement in otoscopic and rhinoscopic examination.
•Double-blind follow-up period to complete 6 months (24 weeks) via nasopharyngoscopic evaluation every 2 months.
