Summary

This randomized, double-blind, parallel group, placebo-controlled study assessed the effects of a novel nasal dilator strip in consumers with chronic nocturnal nasal congestion who have trouble with their sleep. Participants who met the entrance criteria were suffering from nasal congestion every night or almost every night, reported trouble with their sleep and had baseline nasal openness scores at bedtime during the qualification phase of ≤ 70 on a 100-point Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) on at least four of seven qualification nights were randomized to one of two treatments for use at home. Participants returned to the study site after 7 and 14 days of nightly nasal strip use where they self-administered the validated subjective questionnaire "the Nocturnal Rhinoconjunctivitis Quality of Life Questionnaire (NRQLQ)".

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria

  • Consent: Demonstrated understanding of the study and willingness to participate as evidenced by voluntary written informed consent and has received a signed and dated copy of the informed consent form.
  • Compliance: Understands and is willing, able and likely to comply with all study procedures and restrictions.
  • General Health: Good general health with (in the opinion of the investigator) no clinically significant and relevant abnormalities of medical history or physical examination.
  • Contraception: Females of childbearing potential who are, in the opinion of the investigator, practicing a reliable method of contraception.
  • Leptorrhine Nose: Has a leptorrhine nose as defined in Appendix I to this protocol (nasal tip protrusion index of 45 or greater)
  • Chronic Nasal Congestion: Complains of chronic nocturnal nasal congestion for at least the last year. When experiencing nasal congestion, complains always or almost always every night.
  • Sleep: Reports trouble with sleep.
  • VAS Nasal Openness Qualifying Question: Has baseline nasal openness scores at bedtime during the one-week baseline qualification phase of ≤ 70 on a 100-point VAS where 0=extremely blocked and 100=extremely open on at least four of seven nights.

Exclusion Criteria

  • Allergy/Intolerance: Known or suspected intolerance or hypersensitivity to the study materials (or closely related compounds), allergy or atopic reaction to adhesive bandages or latex.
  • Participant has current or a history of skin cancer, chronic skin condition, or eczema on the face or nose.
  • Participant has visible open sores, sunburn, irritation on the face or nose immediately prior to randomization.
  • Participant has been diagnosed with sleep apnea in a sleep laboratory.
  • Participant has had a diagnosis of another major sleep disorder (i.e. primary insomnia, i.e. regularly sleeping less than six hours per night, sleep insufficiency, i.e. sleeping >two hours more on non-work days as compared to work days, narcolepsy, restless leg syndrome, or periodic limb movement disorder).
  • Participant has a non-typical sleep schedule (e.g. shift-work).
  • Participant plans travel involving time-zone changes during the study period.
  • Regular/habitual consumption of more than five cups or glasses per day of xanthine-containing beverages (i.e. tea, coffee, cola).
  • Participant currently uses any product or medication that has an effect on nasal congestion or sleep. Participant must have discontinued use of the following products according to the timings specified below:

a) Prior to initiation of the baseline qualification phase: i. Use of any substance with psychotropic effects or properties known to affect sleep/wake, including but not limited to: neuroleptics, morphine/opioid derivatives, sedative antihistamines, stimulants, antidepressants, clonidine, barbiturates, anxiolytics, thalidomide, hypnotics and sedatives. Use of over-the-counter (OTC) sleep promoting agents including diphenhydramine, doxylamine, tryptophan, valerian root, kava kava, melatonin, St John's Wort and Alluna. Use of OTC alertness aids including caffeine and guarana.

ii. Lubricating sprays/rinses/throat strips iii. Devices prescribed or used for sleep disordered breathing including Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP), mandibular advancement devices, tongue displacement devices iv. Use of any intranasally administered medications (e.g. Miacalcin) b) Within 3 days prior to the initiation of the baseline qualification phase: i. Oral decongestants ii. Short-acting prescription and non-prescription antihistamines, including ocular preparations and antihistamines contained in OTC sleep medications or 'night time' pain formulations (e.g. Benadryl, Chlortrimeton, Dimetane, Tavist) iii. Intranasal, oral or inhaled anticholinergics (e.g. Atrovent) iv. Long-acting beta agonists (e.g. Serevent) v. Oral antileukotrienes c) Within 7 days prior to the initiation of the baseline qualification phase: i. Any topic
