Fluticasone Nasal Spray Patient Preference Study

An overall preference questionnaire (OPQ) was used to evaluate participant's preference for nasal spray therapy for the given treatments. OPQ allows the responder three options, based on products attributes, i.e. preference for product 1 (FF 110 µg); preference for product 2 (FP 200 µg) and no preference. Three participant-related questionnaires were completed during the course of the study, including two attributes questionnaires : Immediate attributes questionnaire (IAQ) and delayed attributes questionnaire (DAQ). An OPQ was completed upon completion of the crossover dosing.

Participant preference for scent/odor at the end of crossover dosing with FF 110 µg and FP 200 µg was evaluated using IAQ and DAQ having question: Did product have a scent/odor?. Participants specified their responses on a 6-point scale: 0: none; 1: very mild; 2: mild; 3: neither mild nor strong; 4: slightly strong; 5; moderately strong; 6: very strong. Higher score indicated strong odor.
