Hypothalamic-Pituitary-Adrenal (HPA)-Axis Study in Pediatric Subjects With Perennial Allergic Rhinitis (PAR)

The purpose of this study is to compare the effect of 6 weeks of treatment with beclomethasone dipropionate (BDP) nasal aerosol versus placebo on HPA-axis function, as assessed by 24-hour serum cortisol weighted mean, and to evaluate the safety and tolerability of BDP nasal aerosol, in subjects 6 to 11 years of age with perennial allergic rhinitis.

Primary outcomes

  1. Change From Baseline (Expressed As A Ratio) In 24-Hr Serum Cortisol Weighted Mean Following 6 Weeks Of Treatment

    Time frame: Baseline (Day 1, -24, -22, -20, -16, -12, -8, and 0 hours prior to study medication), End of Treatment (Day 43, (Immediately prior to study medication administration (Hour 0) and at 2, 4, 8, 12, 16, and 24 hours after study medication administration)

    The serum cortisol weighted mean (0-t), calculated by dividing the area under the concentration-time curve (AUC) from time zero to the time of the last measurable value over the 24-hour period by the sample collection time interval, was determined for each participant at baseline and Week 6, and the ratio of Week 6 over baseline was derived.

Secondary outcomes

  1. Area Under the Concentration-time Curve From Time Zero to Time of Last Measurable Concentration (AUC0-t ) for Beclomethasone-17-monopropionate (17-BMP) and Beclomethasone Dipropionate (BDP)

    Beclomethasone-17-monopropionate (17-BMP) is the active metabolite of BDP. Plasma concentrations of 17-BMP or BDP that were below the lower-limit-of-quantitation (LLOQ), 20 or 10 pg/mL, respectively, were assigned a zero value when calculating descriptive statistics.

  3. Maximum Plasma Concentration (Cmax) for Beclomethasone-17-monopropionate (17-BMP) and Beclomethasone Dipropionate (BDP)

    Time frame: Day 42 (Predose (within 30 minutes prior to dose administration) and at 0.25 (15 min), 0.5 (30 min), 1, 1.5, 3, 6, 12, and 24 hours after final study medication administration)

    Beclomethasone-17-monopropionate (17-BMP) is the active metabolite of BDP. Plasma concentrations of 17-BMP or BDP that were below the lower-limit-of-quantitation (LLOQ), 20 or 10 pg/mL, respectively, were assigned a zero value when calculating descriptive statistics.

  7. Participants With Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events (AEs)

    Time frame: Day 1- week 10

    The intensity or severity of the AE was characterized as mild (AE which is easily tolerated), moderate (AE sufficiently discomforting to interfere with daily activity) or severe (AE which prevents normal daily activities).

    The causal relationship was characterized as not related (no reasonable possibility that the AE was caused by or attributed to the investigational product) or related reasonable possibility that the AE was caused by or attributed to the investigational product / a causal relationship cannot be ruled out).

    An SAE was defined as an AE that resulted in any of the following:

    • Death
    • Life-threatening
    • Required hospitalization or prolonged existing hospitalization
    • Persistent or significant disability or incapacity
    • A congenital abnormality or birth defect
    • An important medical event which required medical intervention to prevent any of the above outcomes.

  8. Participants With Shifts in Hematology Results From Normal at Screening to High or Low at End of Study

    Time frame: Screening (Day -21 to -7), End of Study (Day 42)

    Shifting to 'High' refers to starting the study within normal range and being outside the high-end of normal by end of study. Conversely, shifting to 'Low' refers to starting the study within normal range and being outside the low-end of normal by end of study.

    MCHC = mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration MCV = mean corpuscular volume, or mean cell volume MCH = mean corpuscular hemoglobin or mean cell hemoglobin

  9. Participants With Shifts in Serum Chemistry Results From Normal at Screening to High or Low at End of Study

    Time frame: Screening (Day -21 to -7), End of Study (Day 42)

    Shifting to 'High' refers to starting the study within normal range and being outside the high-end of normal by end of study. Conversely, shifting to 'Low' refers to starting the study within normal range and being outside the low-end of normal by end of study.
