E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
To assess the efficacy of mometasone furoate (MF) nasal spray in pediatric subjects with perennial allergicrhinitis based on the primary endpoint, i.e., the change from baseline in the total score of 4 nasal symptoms (sneezing, rhinorrhea, nasal congestion and nasal itching symptom score) after 2 weeks(or at discontinuation)of treatment. |
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
(1) a)To compare the efficacy of MF and placebo for total nasal symptom scores after one week of treatment and b) to compare the efficacy of MF and placebo for individual symptom scores*1 (sneezing, rhinorrhea, nasal congestion, and nasal itching), individual nasal finding score (swelling of inferior nasal concha mucosa, coloring of inferior nasal concha mucosa, rhinorrhea discharged), interference with daily activities, and global improvement (moderate and remarkable improvement) after one week and 2 weeks of treatment. (2) To compare the difference between MF and placebo in incidence and number of adverse events (AEs) and adverse drug reactions (ADRs) and changes in laboratory values, including predefined clinically relevant changes. (*1; Based on a modified standard of ‘Practical Guideline for the Management of Allergic Rhinitis in Japan’ )

|
E.2.3 | Trial contains a sub-study | No |
E.3 | Principal inclusion criteria |
(1) Subjects having symptoms of perennial allergic rhinitis of moderate to severe degree, according to the classification of severity in the Practical Guideline for the Management of Allergic Rhinitis in Japan (partial revision, 2009) as well as a total score of at least 4 for nasal symptoms (sneezing, rhinorrhea, nasal congestion, and nasal itching), after the pretreatment observation period. As a rule, subjects should fulfill above criteria at the time of obtaining informed consent. (2) Subjects confirmed to be allergic to non-seasonal environmental antigens based on the tests. (3) Male or female outpatients aged 5 to 15 years at the time of providing informed consent. (4) Subjects whose parents/legal representatives can provide written informed consent. (5) Subjects who can make entries in the nasal allergy diary or have a parent/legal representative who can make entries.
|
|
E.4 | Principal exclusion criteria |
(1) Subjects with coexisting tuberculous disease or lower respiratory tract infection and subjects who have a nasopharyngolaryngeal infection (acute upper respiratory tract infection, acute pharyngolaryngitis, or acute tonsillitis, etc.) judged by the investigator to require treatment at the time of registration (2) Subjects with coexisting infections or systemic mycosis for which there are no effective antibiotics (3) Subjects with repeated epistaxis (4) Subjects who have nasal septum ulcers, nasal surgery, or nasal trauma, which have not healed (5) Subjects with a history of hypersensitivity to steroids and other components of the study drug (6) Female subjects with positive pregnancy test (conducted only in subjects 7 years of age and older) (7) Subjects with severe hepatic, renal, cardiac, hematological disease, diabetes mellitus, hypertension, or other serious coexisting diseases and whose general condition is poor (8) Subjects allergic to pollen (cedar, Japanese cypress, birch, grasses, mugwort, common ragweed, etc.) for whom the pollen season coincides with the study period (at any time from the start of the observation period to the end of treatment). (9) Subjects with complication of vasomotor rhinitis or eosinophilic rhinitis. (10) Subjects with nasal conditions (infectious sinusitis, hypertrophic rhinitis, acute or chronic rhinitis, nasal polyps, septal deviation, etc.) which may interfere with the evaluation of the efficacy of the study drug. (11) Subjects who develop a disease affecting nasal symptoms (acute upper respiratory tract infection, acute pharyngolaryngitis, or acute tonsillitis) in the 7 days before registration in the study. (12) Subjects who have previously received MFNS. (13) Subjects who have taken of an investigational drug within 120 days (4 months) before the day of informed consent. (14) Subjects for whom the period of discontinuation of previous treatment before the start of study

E.5 End points |
E.5.1 | Primary end point(s) |
The change from baseline in the total score of 4 nasal symptoms (sneezing, rhinorrhea, nasal congestion and nasal itching) at 2 weeks of treatment (or at discontinuation). |
|
E.5.1.1 | Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point |
at each visit prior to initiation of treatment, at Week 1, and Week 2(discontinuation) |
|
E.5.2 | Secondary end point(s) |
(1) the change from baseline in the total score of 4 nasal symptoms at 1 week of treatment (2) the changes from baseline in individual nasal symptom scores at 1 and 2 weeks of treatment (or at discontinuation) (3) Individual nasal finding scores (swelling of inferior nasal concha mucosa, coloring of inferior nasal concha mucosa and rhinorrhea discharged) Endpoint: the changes from baseline in individual nasal finding scores at 1 and 2 weeks of treatment (or at discontinuation) (4) Score for interference with daily activities Endpoint: the changes from baseline in the score for interference with daily activities at 1 and 2 weeks of treatment (or at discontinuation) (5) Improvement rate of global response Endpoint: the improvement rate of global response (moderate and remarkable improvement) at 1 and 2 weeks of treatment (or at discontinuation) (6) Assessment of interaction effects of age strata (5 to 11 years and 12 to 15 years of age) and treatment groups on the primary endpoint results An interaction effect was assessed by adding the interaction term of age stratum and treatment group to the analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) model for the primary efficacy endpoint.
