Eligibility Criteria

18 Years - 65 Years (Adult, Older Adult)All SexesDoes not accept healthy volunteers

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Diagnosis of AR, as determined by the presence of rhinitis symptoms that last for several months per year, for more than 1 year and are not attributed to infections or nasal abnormalities.

  • A female subject is eligible to participate if she is of:

Non-childbearing potential defined as pre-menopausal females with a documented tubal ligation or hysterectomy [for this definition, "documented" refers to the outcome of the investigator's/designee's review of the subject's medical history for study eligibility, as obtained via a verbal interview with the subject or from the subject's medical records]; or postmenopausal defined as 12 months of spontaneous amenorrhea (in questionable cases a blood sample with simultaneous follicle stimulating hormone [FSH] >40 milli international unit per milliliter (MIU/milliliter [mL]) and estradiol <40 picogram per milliliter[pg/mL] (<147 picomole per liter [pmol/L]) is confirmatory).

Child-bearing potential with negative pregnancy test as determined by urine beta-human chorionic gonadotropin (β-hCG) test at screening or prior to dosing and;

  • Agrees to use one of the contraception methods for an appropriate period of time (as determined by the product label or investigator) prior to the start of dosing to sufficiently minimize the risk of pregnancy at that point. Female subjects must agree to use contraception until 1 week post-last dose
  • Capable of giving written informed consent, which includes compliance with the requirements and restrictions listed in the consent form.
  • Subjects should be non-smokers, which for this study is defined as having smoked <10 packs per year in their lifetime, and have not smoked in the 6 months prior to the screening visit.
  • alanine aminotransferase (ALT), alkaline phosphatase and bilirubin <=1.5x upper limit of normal (ULN) (isolated bilirubin >1.5xULN is acceptable if bilirubin is fractionated and direct bilirubin <35%).

Arm 1

Arm Description

Each Subject will be assigned to a sequence of three treatments (e.g ABC, BCD, ACD): A=Two, 50 microliter (mcqL) sprays per nostril of FF, total dose 100 microgram (mcg); B=Two, 50 mcqL sprays per nostril of levocabastine, total dose 200 mcg; C=Two, 50 mcql sprays per nostril of FF/levocabastine FDC, total daily dose 100 mcg FF and 200 mcg levocabastine; D=Two, 50 mcql sprays per nostril of placebo. There will be a wash out period of 14-28 days between two treatment periods

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Weighted Mean of the Total Nasal Symptom Score (TNSS) (0-4) Hours (h) Post Start of Allergen Chamber Challenge on Day 8 of Each Treatment Period
The TNSS (score of 0-12) is defined as the sum of the symptom scores for the four individual components (nasal congestion, rhinorrhea, nasal itch, and sneezing, each scored on 0-3 scale [0=none, 1=mild, 2=moderate, 3=severe]). TNSS was measured at the pre-allergen chamber challenge, and then every 15 minutes from 0 to 4 hours post start of the allergen chamber challenge. In the Environmental Exposure Chamber (EEC), aerosolized allergen was administered in a sealed chamber to evaluate the efficacy of antihistamines/other treatments. Weighted mean TNSS was calculated by dividing the value of the area under the response time curve over the 0-4 hours (calculated by trapezoidal rule) by the time interval of available data.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Weighted Mean of the Magnitude of Symptom Relief on Total Nasal Symptom Score (TNSS) (2-4) Hours (h) Post Start of Allergen Chamber Challenge on Day 1 of Each Treatment Period
Magnitude of symptom relief was assessed by calculating change from pre-dose weighted mean TNSS (2-4h) post start of the allergen chamber challenge at Day 1. The pre-dose value was the maximum of the three pre-dose measurements (1h 15 minutes (min), 1h 30 min and 1h 45 min post start of the allergen chamber challenge). The TNSS (score of 0-12) is defined as the sum of the symptom scores for the four individual components (nasal congestion, rhinorrhea, nasal itch and sneezing, each scored on 0-3 scale [0=none, 1=mild, 2=moderate, 3=severe]).
Weighted Mean of the Magnitude of Symptom Relief on Total Ocular Symptom Score (TOSS) (2-4) Hours (h) Post Start of Allergen Chamber Challenge on Day 1 of Each Treatment Period
Magnitude of symptom relief was assessed by calculating change from pre-dose weighted mean TOSS (2-4h) post start of the allergen chamber challenge at Day 1. The pre-dose value was the maximum of the three pre-dose measurements (1h 15 minutes (min), 1h 30 min and 1h 45 min post start of the allergen chamber challenge). The TOSS (score of 0-9) is defined as the sum of the symptom scores for the three individual components (red, itchy, and tearing eyes, each scored on 0-3 scale [0=none, 1=mild, 2=moderate, 3=severe], average of two eyes).
Weighted Mean of the Total Ocular Symptom Score (TOSS) (0-4) Hours (h) Post Start of Allergen Chamber Challenge on Day 8 of Each Treatment Period
The TOSS (score of 0-9) is defined as the sum of the symptom scores for the three individual components (red, itchy, and tearing eyes , each scored on 0-3 scale [0=none, 1=mild, 2=moderate, 3=severe], average of two eyes). TOSS was measured at the pre-allergen chamber challenge, and then every 15 minutes from 0 to 4 hours post start of the allergen chamber challenge.

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
This study will be a randomised, double blind, placebo controlled, 3-way, incomplete block crossover study to evaluate the effect of single and repeat doses of levocabastine, FF, placebo and a FDC of FF/levocabastine administration in AR subjects. The total expected study duration for each individual participating in the study will be a maximum of up to 20 weeks (including the screening and follow-up). This will be a three period study and subjects will be assigned to a sequence of three treatments. There will be a wash-out period of 14-28 days between two treatment periods. The rational for this study is to demonstrate proof of concept with the FDC of FF and levocabastine compared with each of the components administered alone.
