Study of Triamcinolone Acetonide on the Growth Velocity of Children, Ages 3 to 9, With Perennial Allergic Rhinitis (PAR)

Summary

The primary objective of the study was to characterize the difference in prepubescent growth velocity in children 3 to 9 years of age with perennial allergic rhinitis (PAR) treated with triamcinolone acetonide (TAA) nasal spray (NASACORT® AQ 110 μg treatment group) or placebo (NASACORT® AQ placebo group) for 12-months. The secondary objectives were to compare the following in prepubertal participants treated with TAA nasal spray versus placebo: * the 24-hour urinary free cortisol levels and the cortisol/creatinine ratio (to measure the Hypothalamic-Pituitary Adrenal \[HPA\] axis function) * the rate of treatment-emergent-adverse-events (TEAE) * global efficacy rated by the investigator and the participant separately * the rate of use of rescue medication during the study
