Study to Assess Safety and Efficacy of Fexofenadine Hydrochloride (HCL) + Pseudoephedrine HCL Fixed Dose Combination in Indian Male and Female Participants With Allergic Rhinitis (AR) Who Are 12 Years and Above

This is a single group, Phase IV clinical trial to assess the safety and effectiveness of Allegra® D. This study will be conducted in participants with allergic rhinitis who are 12 years of age and above. The individual study duration for each participant would be approximately 16 days (maximum of 13 days intervention + a 3-day post intervention observation). There would be 4 study visits in which the last visit can be done either telephonically or on site. Safety events would be captured for the entire study duration. In addition, the effectiveness of the study drug would be assessed using Nasal symptom score (NSS) and Total symptom score (TSS).

Treatment and study plan

Fexofenadine HCL and pseudoephedrine HCL

Drug

Extended-Release Tablets

Other names: ALLEGRA® D

Primary outcomes

  1. Number of participants with treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs)

    Time frame: Day 1 to Day 16

    A TEAE is defined as any adverse event (AE) that occur in between the first investigational medicinal product (IMP) administration (on Day 1) and Day 16.

  2. Number of participants with treatment-emergent serious adverse events (SAEs)

    Time frame: Day 1 to Day 16

    A treatment-emergent SAE is defined as any SAE that occur in between the first investigational medicinal product (IMP) administration (on Day 1) and Day 16.

Secondary outcomes

  1. Mean change from baseline in Total Symptom Score (TSS)

    Time frame: Day 1, Day 13

    The TSS is the sum of physician-assessed nasal symptom scores for sneezing; rhinorrhea; itchy nose, palate, and/or throat; itchy, watery eyes; and nasal congestion, each accessed on 0-4 categorical scale (where 0 = no symptoms, 1 = mild symptoms, 2 = moderate symptoms, 3 = severe symptoms and 4 = very severe symptoms). Higher score indicated more severe symptoms.

  2. Mean change from baseline in Nasal Congestion Score (NCS)

    Time frame: Day 1, Day 13

    Nasal congestion was assessed by the physician on a 0-4 categorical scale, where 0 = no symptoms, 1 = mild symptoms, 2 = moderate symptoms, 3 = severe symptoms and 4 = very severe symptoms. Higher score indicated more severe symptoms.
