Fast effectiveness of a solubilized low-dose budesonide nasal spray in allergic rhinitis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Budesonide, a poorly water-soluble corticosteroid, is currently marketed as a suspension. Budesolv is a novel aqueous formulation containing dissolved budesonide showing increased local availability in preclinical models. Budesolv contains ~85% less corticosteroid than the marketed comparator.

Objective

The study (EudraCT:2018-001324-19) was designed to assess non-inferiority of Budesolv compared to Rhinocort® Aqua 64 (RA) and early onset of action.

Methods

In a three-way cross-over double-blinded randomized trial, Budesolv 10 was compared to RA and placebo in grass pollen allergic rhinoconjunctivitis volunteers (n = 83 (ITT); n = 75 (PP)). On day 1, participants entered the Vienna Challenge Chamber (VCC) for 6 hours; first treatment took place at 1:45 hour
