Summary

This trial is testing whether a new nasal spray is as effective as the current standard in treating seasonal allergies.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for individuals aged 12 or older with a documented positive skin test to seasonal allergens and at least two years of history with Seasonal Allergic Rhinitis. They must have specific minimum symptom scores for nasal congestion and ocular issues. Excluded are pregnant women, those on certain medications, patients with recent infections or surgeries, heavy smokers, and anyone with chronic conditions that could interfere.
What is being tested?
The study aims to compare the effectiveness of a new combination nasal spray (Azelastine hydrochloride and Fluticasone propionate) against Dymista™ in treating symptoms of Seasonal Allergic Rhinitis. Participants will also be compared to a placebo group to measure the treatment's impact on nasal congestion and related symptoms.
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects may include local irritation in the nose, headache, nosebleeds, taste disturbances or unpleasant taste sensation after use (dysgeusia), drowsiness or fatigue. More serious but less common side effects might involve changes in vision or increased intraocular pressure.
