Clinical Trial Summary

This study was conducted to compare the effectiveness and safety of mometasone nasal spray once daily or twice daily with amoxicillin or with placebo in treating the signs and symptoms of acute rhinosinusitis. Patients received mometasone nasal spray 2 sprays per nostril once daily, 2 sprays per nostril twice daily, amoxicillin 500 mg three times a day, or placebo three times a day. Patients on nasal spray were treated for 15 days and patients on amoxicillin or placebo were treated for 10 days. All patients were followed-up with a 14-day no-treatment observation period.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Average AM/PM major-symptom score (sum of rhinorrhea, post nasal drip, nasal congestion/stuffiness, sinus headache, and facial pain/pressure/tenderness on palpation over the paranasal sinuses) over the Treatment Phase of 15 days.		Over 15 days
Secondary	The total-, major-, and individual-symptom scores (for AM, PM, and AM/PM average) by week, and for Days 1-15, and 16-29.		At end of each week, over Days 1-15, and Days 16-29
Secondary	Time to onset of action in the major-symptom score, defined as the first day active treatment was statistically significantly different from placebo, and sustained thereafter.		Throughout the Treatment Period
Secondary	Comparison between the groups of therapeutic response		At Visit 4 or the last treatment visit
Secondary	Proportion of subjects who were considered by the investigator to be treatment failures, and proportion of subjects who discontinued early due to treatment failure		Throughout the study
