MP29-02 (a novel intranasal formulation of azelastine hydrochloride and
fluticasone propionate) in the treatment of seasonal allergic rhinitis: a
randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial of efficacy and safety. [2012] Many patients with allergic rhinitis (AR) have uncontrolled symptoms despite
available treatment options. This study was designed to evaluate the efficacy and
safety of MP29-02 (a novel intranasal formulation of fluticasone propionate [FP]
and azelastine [AZ] hydrochloride), compared with monotherapy with FP, AZ, and
placebo sprays for the treatment of seasonal allergic rhinitis (SAR)...
Two-week comparison study of olopatadine hydrochloride nasal spray 0.6% versus azelastine hydrochloride nasal spray 0.1% in patients with vasomotor rhinitis. [2011.03] Olopatadine hydrochloride nasal spray 0.6% (OLO) and azelastine nasal spray 137 micrograms (AZE) are effective in treating allergic rhinitis and AZE is indicated for nonallergic vasomotor rhinitis (VMR). This study evaluates the relative safety and efficacy of OLO and AZE in patients with VMR.
Double-blind, placebo-controlled study of azelastine and fluticasone in a single nasal spray delivery device. [2010.08] BACKGROUND: A proof-of-concept study suggested that combination therapy with commercial azelastine hydrochloride nasal spray and fluticasone propionate nasal spray significantly improved nasal symptoms of seasonal allergic rhinitis compared with either agent alone. OBJECTIVE: To compare an azelastine-fluticasone combination nasal spray administered in a single-delivery device with a commercially available azelastine nasal spray and fluticasone nasal spray... CONCLUSIONS: The combination azelastine-fluticasone nasal spray provided statistically significant improvement in the TNSS and additive clinical benefit compared with either agent alone in patients with moderate-to-severe seasonal allergic rhinitis.

Comparison of azelastine versus triamcinolone nasal spray in allergic and nonallergic rhinitis. [2010.01] BACKGROUND: Intranasal antihistamine has not been thoroughly studied in the treatment of rhinitis of different etiologies. This study was designed to show the comparative efficacy of nasal antihistamine and nasal corticosteroid in patients with allergic rhinitis (AR) and nonallergic rhinitis (NAR)... CONCLUSION: In this first comparative demonstration, AZENS appears to be as effective as triamcinolone in symptom scores, nPIFR, ESS, and HRQoL, equally in AR and NAR.

Clinical Trials Related to Optivar (Azelastine Ophthalmic)
Single Dose Pharmacokinetics of Intranasal Azelastine Delivered by a Fixed Combination With Fluticasone in Comparison to Azelastine Nasal Sprays [Recruiting]
The primary objective is to assess the effect of fluticasone propionate (FLU) on the
relative bioavailability (AUC0-∞) of azelastine hydrochloride (AZE) when administered as
fixed AZE-FLU combination product (TEST) compared to a similar formulation without
containing FLU (i. e. AZE alone; REF).
The secondary objectives are to compare the relative bioavailability (AUC0-â) of AZE when
administered either as fixed AZE-FLU combination product (TEST) or as marketed AZE product
Astelin® Nasal Spray (COMP); To compare the effects of FLU on other pharmacokinetic
parameters of AZE (AUC0-tlast, CL/f, Cmax, tmax, t½); To assess adverse events.
Azelastine Fluticasone Combination vs. Fluticasone [Not yet recruiting]
The purpose of this study is to see how a combination spray of azelastine and fluticasone
(antihistamine and steroid) compares with a steroid nasal spray (fluticasone) alone in
allergic rhinitis i. e. does azelastine permit the use of lesser steroid dose (steroid
sparing effect) to achieve the same benefit.
Single Dose Pharmacokinetics of Intranasal Fluticasone Delivered by a Fixed Combination With Azelastine (MP29 02) in Comparison to Two Different Fluticasone Nasal Sprays [Recruiting]
The primary objective is to assess the effect of azelastine hydrochloride (AZE) on the
relative bioavailability (AUC0-â) of fluticasone propionate (FLU) when administered as fixed
AZE-FLU combination product (TEST) compared to a similar formulation without containing AZE
(i. e. FLU alone in the MP29-02 vehicle; REF).
The secondary objectives are to compare the relative bioavailability (AUC0-â) of FLU when
administered either as fixed AZE-FLU combination product (TEST) or as marketed FLU product,
Fluticasone Propionate Nasal Spray, Roxane Laboratories (COMP); To compare the effects of
AZE on other pharmacokinetic parameters of FLU (AUC0 tlast, CL/f, Cmax, tmax, t½); To assess
adverse events.
A Study to Evaluate the Safety and Effectiveness of a Nasal Spray to Treat Seasonal Allergies [Completed]
The purpose of this study is to determine if two allergy medications (azelastine and
fluticasone) are more effective than placebo or either medication alone (azelastine or
fluticasone)
A Study to Evaluate the Safety and Effectiveness of a Nasal Spray to Treat Seasonal Allergies [Active, not recruiting]
The purpose of this study is to determine if two allergy medications (azelastine and
fluticasone) are more effective than placebo or either medication alone (azelastine or
fluticasone)
