Placebo-controlled Trial With Nasonex for Nasal Obstruction Secondary to Adenoids Hypertrophy in Children (P04367)(TERMINATED)

Overview

This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study to document the long-term effect of treatment with mometasone furoate nasal spray in moderate to severe adenoids hypertrophy as reflected by the need for removal of the adenoids within one year of the treatment regimen. Subjects will be assigned treated with either mometasone furoate nasal spray or placebo for 3 months. Subjects will be followed for an addition 12 months. Serious AEs will be followed starting first dose-till 30 days after study treatment period completion. This study was terminated – Please see "P04367 – Lebanon"

Clinical Trial Outcome Measures

Primary Measures

  • To document the long-term effect of treatment with Nasonex in moderate to severe adenoids hypertrophy (which cause >50% obstruction of the posterior choanae). as reflected by the need for adenoidectomy within one year of the treatment regimen.
    • Time Frame: The total duration of therapy is 3 months the follow up period is for 12 months.

Secondary Measures

  • To identify the characteristics of subjects who will show complete or significant resolution of the nasal obstruction symptoms secondary to enlarged adenoids, upon using Nasonex.
    • Time Frame: The total duration of therapy is 3 months the follow up period is for 12 months.
