Clinical Trial Summary

This randomized, double-blind, parallel group, placebo-controlled study assessed subjective measures of nasal airway breathing immediately after application in the morning upon awakening after use of breathe right nasal strips (BRNS). Participants who met the entrance criteria, were currently suffering from nasal congestion, reported trouble with their sleep and had baseline nasal openness scores at bedtime during the qualification phase of ≤ 70 on a 100-point Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) on at least four of seven qualification nights were randomized to one of two treatments for use at home. Participants returned to the study site after 7 and 14 days of nightly nasal strip use, respectively. At the two return visits, a validated subjective questionnaire, the Nocturnal Rhinoconjunctivitis Quality of Life Questionnaire (NRQLQ), measured response.


Description:

The study had a screening phase, a one-week baseline qualification and a two-week treatment phase. Participants who met the entrance criteria, who were currently suffering from nasal congestion every night or almost every night, reported trouble with their sleep and had baseline nasal openness scores at bedtime during the qualification phase of ≤ 70 on a 100-point VAS on at least four of seven qualification nights were randomized to one of two treatments for use at home. During the two-week in-home treatment phase, daily diaries measuring the perception of nasal breathing and nasal congestion using a VAS were completed. Participants returned to the study site after 7 and 14 days of nightly nasal strip use, respectively. At the two return visits, a validated subjective questionnaire, the NRQLQ, measured response.

Intervention

Device:
Breathe Right Tan (small/medium) nasal strips
Participants of this treatment arm applied sufficient quantity of commercially available nasal strips (Breathe Right Tan), small/medium sized outside of the nose, from alar crease to alar crease, as per dispensing instructions, prior to sleeping. Participants used their assigned strip every night, for approximately 8 hours, but no more than 12 hours per night, for two weeks
Other:
Placebo nasal strip
Participants of this treatment arm applied sufficient quantity of Asymmetric Butterfly Placebo ABP-NH Nasal Strips, small/medium sized outside of the nose, from alar crease to alar crease, as per dispensing instructions, prior to sleeping. Participants used their assigned strip every night, for approximately 8 hours, but no more than 12 hours per night, for two weeks

Outcome

Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Primary Change From Baseline in Mean Average Score of Nocturnal Rhinoconjunctivitis Quality of Life Questionnaire (NRQLQ) for Each Domain Problems (Sleep, Sleep Time, Symptoms on Waking in the Morning, and Practical Problems) at Day 7 Participants scored all the domains of NRQLQ using same 7 points scales where 0=Not troubled and 6=extremely troubled. Domains: Sleep problems (difficulty getting sleep, unable to get a good night sleep or wake up during the night, restless [tossing and turning] and having to get up because stuffy nose or to blow nose using the score, scores range: Min-Max [0-24]); Sleep time problems (Nasal congestion or stuffy nose, sinus pressure or pain, runny nose, post-nasal drip [drainage down back of nose/throat], and headache, scores range: 0- 30); Symptoms on waking in the morning (Feel tired and unrefreshed, nasal congestion or stuffy nose, congestion in sinuses, takes time to clear nighttime drainage after waking up, scores range:0-24); practical problems (have to avoid symptom triggers (such as dust, cigarette smoke, strong smells and perfumes), need to rub nose or eyes, and have to take medication, scores range: 0-18). Lower scores indicate improvement in the rhinitis symptoms. At baseline and Day 7

Domains: Sleep problems (difficulty getting sleep, unable to get a good night sleep or wake up during the night, restless [tossing and turning] and having to get up because stuffy nose or to blow nose using the score, scores range: Min-Max [0-24]); Sleep time problems (Nasal congestion or stuffy nose, sinus pressure or pain, runny nose, post-nasal drip [drainage down back of nose/throat], and headache, scores range: 0- 30); Symptoms on waking in the morning (Feel tired and unrefreshed, nasal congestion or stuffy nose, congestion in sinuses, takes time to clear nighttime drainage after waking up, scores range:0-24); practical problems (have to avoid symptom triggers (such as dust, cigarette smoke, strong smells and perfumes), need to rub nose or eyes, and have to take medication, scores range: 0-18). Lower scores indicate improvement in the rhinitis symptoms. At Baseline and Day 14
Primary Change From Baseline in Mean Average Score for All the Four Questions of Domain Symptoms on Waking in the Morning of Nocturnal Rhinoconjunctivitis Quality of Life Questionnaire (NRQLQ) at Day 7 Participants scored for domain Symptoms on waking in the morning of NRQLQ using 7 points scale: 0=not troubled, 1=hardly troubled at all, 2=somewhat troubled, 3= moderately troubled, 4=quite a bit troubled, 5=very troubled, 6=extremely troubled. Questionnaire for this domain included: Feel tired and unrefreshed, nasal congestion or stuffy nose, congestion in sinuses, takes time to clear night time drainage after waking up. Lower scores indicate improvement in the rhinitis symptoms At Baseline and Day 7

Primary Number of Participants Showing Improvement for Each Domain Problems (Sleep, Sleep Time, Symptoms on Waking in the Morning, and Practical Problems) of Nocturnal Rhinoconjunctivitis Quality of Life Questionnaire at Day 7 Participants scored all the domains of NRQLQ using 7 points scale,0=Not troubled,1=hardly troubled at all,2=somewhat troubled,3=moderately troubled, 4=quite a bit troubled,5=very troubled,6=extremely troubled.Sleep problems (difficulty getting sleep,unable to get good night sleep/wake up during night, restless [tossing and turning],having to get up because stuffy nose or blow nose using score,scores range:Min-Max[0-24]),Sleep time problems(Nasal congestion or stuffy nose,sinus pressure or pain,runny nose,post-nasal drip[drainage down back of nose/throat],headache,scores range:0-30);Symptoms on waking in morning(Feel tired and unrefreshed,nasal congestion/stuffy nose,congestion in sinuses,takes time to clear nighttime drainage after waking up,scores range:0-24);practical problems(have to avoid symptom triggers(such as dust,cigarette smoke,strong smells, perfumes),rub nose/eyes,take medication,score range:0-18).Lower scores relative to baseline indicate improvement in rhinitis symptoms.
