040809 Final Draft Clinical Trials Results Database Proposal (Version 3.21) Objectives:
To determine allergic rhinitis patients’ ratings of the sensory attributes of Nasacort AQ,
Flonase, and Nasonex and their preference for these individual products.
Methodology: This was a randomized, double-blind, cross-over study to determine patients’
ratings of the sensory attributes of triamcinolone acetonide, fluticasone propionate, and
mometasone furoate aqueous nasal sprays, and their preference for these individual products.
After administration of each of the products in a randomized order, patients evaluated each
corticosteroid aqueous nasal spray by responding to questions given by a trained, independent
interviewer blinded to the products. Products were administered according to a balanced
design, allowing each product to be tested in each order position an equal number of times.
Number of patients (planned and analyzed): 106 planned/ 106 analyzed
Diagnosis and main criteria for inclusion: Male or non-pregnant, non-lactating females
between the ages of 18 and 70 years, a two-year history of Allergic Rhinitis (seasonal or
perennial),had AR symptoms at inclusion in the study,had a positive response to skin prick test
or RAST (documented) for at least one allergen (perennial or seasonal) prevalent in the
geographic area and environment, and to which patients had continuous exposure.
Test product, dose and mode of administration, batch number:
Nasacort AQ Nasal Spray 220 µg (=2 sprays/nostril) once daily batch # MN4689 Duration of treatment: 1 day- Patients were administered each test product in randomized
order
Reference therapy, dose and mode of administration, batch number: Flonase Nasal Spray, 200 µg (=2 sprays/nostril), batch # CO25594 Nasonex® Nasal Spray 200 µg (=2 sprays/nostril), batch # OKTL128 Criteria for evaluation:
Patient preference was assessed through two questionnaires measuring the acceptability of the product as well as sensory perceptions associated with the study agents: 1.Nasal Spray Evaluation questionnaire (comfort, amount of medication run-down throat and nose, irritation, urge to sneeze, odor, taste, overall liking) was answered by the patient after administration of each product (3 questionnaires completed by the patient). 2.Overall Nasal Spray Evaluation questionnaire was answered after the administration of the three products (1 questionnaire completed by the patient). The Nasal Spray Evaluation questionnaire included 14 items that were rated by the patient on a CONFIDENTIAL–NOT FOR FURTHER DISTRIBUTION
040809 Final Draft Clinical Trials Results Database Proposal (Version 3.21) 100-point scale after the administration of each product. Ten items were rated immediately after product administration and four items were rated five minutes after product administration. The Overall Nasal Spray Evaluation questionnaire included 2 questions answered by the patient after the administration of the three nasal sprays: the patient’s preferred product to be prescribed, and the patient’s expected compliance to each product. Safety: Adverse event (AE) information collected at the clinic visit and baseline physical examination and vital signs. Statistical methods: The mean score of the three Nasal Spray Evaluation questionnaires (one
questionnaire was completed after each product administration) was summarized (n, mean, SD,
median and range), by item and overall index, for each treatment group and overall.
Results were compared among the three nasal sprays (X, Y, Z) using an analysis of variance (ANOVA) of the cross-over design. Firstly, a 3-factors model (subject, treatment, and administration order) was used, including the interaction treatment x administration order. Only subject and treatment factors were kept (2-factors model) if all other effects (administration order and interaction) were non-significant. The patient’s preferred treatment to be prescribed was tabulated (n, %) by treatment (X, Y, Z) and overall, and compared among the three products by a Cochran-Mantel-Haenszel Test (preference frequencies by treatment controlling for subject). The patient’s expected compliance to treatment was tabulated (n, %) by treatment (X, Y, Z) and overall. CONFIDENTIAL–NOT FOR FURTHER DISTRIBUTION

SUMMARY – CONCLUSIONS
PATIENT PREFERENCE RESULTS:
Immediately following investigational product administration: The statistically significant
differences identified were in product odor and taste. Patients reported the odor of Nasacort®
AQ to be less strong compared with Flonase® and Nasonex® [mean scores of 14.8 vs. 50.2
(p<0.0001) and 53.2 (p<0.0001), respectively]. Similarly, the taste of Nasacort® AQ was judged to
be less strong than that of Flonase® and Nasonex® [mean scores of 14.4 vs. 21.6 (p=0.028) and
28.9 (p<0.0001), respectively]. Nasacort® AQ was rated more favorably for “liking taste” over
Nasonex® (mean score of 76.0 vs. 65.7, p=0.005).
In addition, immediately after administration Nasacort® AQ had a less bitter taste than Nasonex® (mean score of 9.2 vs. 16.7, p=0.014). Also, patients perceived that less Nasacort® AQ ran down their nose and throat compared with Nasonex® (mean score of 25.9 vs. 32.3, p=0.038); however, no statistically significant difference between treatments in medication run-off was found 5 minutes after administration. In terms of differences between Flonase® and Nasonex®, Flonase® was rated as superior to Nasonex® for overall comfort during administration (mean score of 77.0 vs. 70.8, p=0.040), strength of urge to sneeze (mean score of 12.8 vs. 19.1, p=0.030), strength of taste (mean score of 21.6 vs. 28.9, p=0.026), and bitter taste (mean score of 10 vs. 16.7, p=0.030). Five minutes after administration: Nasacort® AQ was rated as having less aftertaste than
Nasonex® (mean score of 15.5 vs. 25.9, p=0.003), and had significantly less irritation than
Nasonex® (mean score of 19.2 vs. 26.3, p=0.022). Also, Nasacort® AQ was rated higher for
overall liking of product than Nasonex® (mean score of 67.5 vs. 55.6, p=0.0002). Flonase® was
rated as having significantly less irritation than Nasonex® (mean score of 17.8 vs. 26.3, p=0.005).
In addition, Flonase® was rated higher for overall product liking than Nasonex® (mean score of
63.6 vs. 55.6, p=0.017). The differences between Nasacort® AQ and Flonase® for the amount of
irritation and overall liking of the product were not statistically significant.
Overall: Patients indicated a preference (Total Preference Score 1) for Nasacort® AQ over both
Flonase® and Nasonex® [mean scores of 76.9 vs. 73.4 (p=0.043) and 68.7 (p<0.0001), respectively].
The overall assessment of patient preference using the “Total Preference Score 2” score [the sum
of the scores for the Nasal Spray Evaluation excluding patient’s overall liking (item 14)] had
similar results, with Nasacort® AQ again ranked statistically significantly higher than either
Flonase® (mean score of 77.8 vs. 74.3, p=0.035) or Nasonex® (mean score of 77.8 vs. 69.9,
p<0.0001).

SAFETY RESULTS: Overall, Nasacort® AQ, Nasonex®, and Flonase® were safe and well
tolerated in a single administration at a dose of 220 mcg, 200 mcg, and 200 mcg, respectively.
When interviewed regarding any AEs that occurred following each nasal spray administration,
of all 106 patients, 2 (1.9%) patients reported 2 AEs following Nasacort® AQ administration, one
(0.9%) patient reported one AE following Nasonex® administration, and 5 (4.7%) patients
reported 7 AEs following Flonase® administration. Most of the AEs reported during the study
CONFIDENTIAL–NOT FOR FURTHER DISTRIBUTION
040809 Final Draft Clinical Trials Results Database Proposal (Version 3.21) were of mild intensity. All of the AEs were related to the study medication. There were no deaths during the study. No patient prematurely discontinued from the study due to an AE. Date of the report: 16 December, 2002
