Hypothalamic-Pituitary-Adrenal (HPA)-Axis Study in Pediatric Subjects With Perennial Allergic Rhinitis (PAR)

Summary

The purpose of this study is to compare the effect of 6 weeks of treatment with beclomethasone dipropionate (BDP) nasal aerosol versus placebo on HPA-axis function, as assessed by 24-hour serum cortisol weighted mean, and to evaluate the safety and tolerability of BDP nasal aerosol, in subjects 6 to 11 years of age with perennial allergic rhinitis.
