Not accepted
You may be eligible if
1. Signed informed consent consistent with ICH-GCP guidelines (International Conference on Harmonisation for Good Clinical Practice) and local legislations prior to any study-related procedures, which includes medication washout and restrictions.
2. Male or female, with a diagnosis of seasonal allergic rhinitis by a physician with a positive skin prick test to Dactylis glomerata within 12 months prior to Visit 2
3. TNSS (total nasal symptom score) of less or equal than 2 before start of challenge at Visit 2 and a TNSS of \> 5 at least once during the 2h-baseline ECC exposure
4. 18 to 65 years of age (age inclusive)
5. Non-smoker or ex-smoker with a cigarette smoking history of less or equal than 10 pack-years (and smoking cessation for at least one year prior to enrolment) with negative urinary cotinine at screening (Visit 1)
6. Ability to comply with requirements, medication restrictions (see 4.2.2) and procedures of the study protocol including AM1® device and rescue medication use.
7. Pre-bronchodilator FEV1 (forced expiratory volume in one second) equal or greater than 80% of predicted value (European Community for Steel and Coal) at screening
8. BMI between 18 and 35 (Body Mass Index)
9. Negative breath -alcohol, urine -cotinine and -drug tests at screening (Visit 1)
You may not be if
1. Significant pulmonary disease other than allergic rhinitis (or mild intermittent asthma managed by SABA (short acting bronchodilator) alone) or other medical conditions\* that may, in the opinion of the investigator result in the any of the following:
* put the patient at risk because of participation in the study
* influence the results of the study (as determined by medical history, examination and clinical investigations at screening)
* cause concern regarding the patient's ability to participate in the study. \*e.g. cardiac, gastro-intestinal, hepatic, renal, metabolic, dermatologic, neurological, haematological, oncological and psychiatric. Patients with malignancy for which the patient has undergone resection, radiation or chemotherapy within past 5 years. Patients with treated basal cell carcinoma or fully cured squamous cell carcinoma are allowed.
2. Any other nasal and sinusoidal diseases or conditions by discretion of the investigator (i.e. nasal polyps, frequent nose bleeding) which may influence the study results
3. Respiratory tract infection or asthma exacerbation in the 4 weeks prior to Visit 1 or during the screening and baseline period.
4. Thoracotomy with pulmonary resection.
5. Previous participation in this study (receipt of randomized treatment) or active participation in a current interventional study.
6. Patients with a clinically relevant abnormal baseline haematology, blood chemistry, or urinalysis at screening, if the abnormality defines a significant disease as defined in exclusion criterion No. 1. Patients will not be randomised if they have increased liver transaminases (AST or ALT greater than two fold the upper limit of normal at screening). Laboratory testing may be repeated once before randomization.
8. Patients with known hypersensitivity to any component of the investigational treatment (see section 4.1.1) or to fluticasone propionate nasal spray or montelukast or salbutamol or components.
9. Patients taking CYP2C8 substrates such as -but not restricted to- amiodarone, amodiaquine, paclitaxel, rosiglitazone, pioglitazone, and repaglinide and CYP2C9 substrates such as -but not restricted to- warfarin, tolbutamide, phenytoin, losartan and acenocoumarol.
10. Patients who have been treated with any of the following medications in the given interval before the respective Visit: Before Visit 2
* An investigational drug within 1 month or six half lives (whichever is greater)
* Any immunomodulatory therapy since specific positive skin prick test.
* A biological based antagonist therapy including Omalizumab, or immune modulator therapy within 6 months
* A systemic (intravenous, intramuscular or oral) corticosteroid within 3 months
* The following medications within 4 weeks: topical steroids, change in prescription medications
* The following medications within 2 weeks: LABA (long acting beta agonist), methylxanthines, leukotriene modifiers, any antihistamines, oral decongestants, any anti-rhinitis therapies (i.e., decongestants, herbals, anticholinergics), and hay-fever medications, tricyclic antidepressants, aspirin and any NSAIDs (non steroidal anti inflammatory drugs) (for occasional pain relief, only paracetamol may be used), oral beta 2 agonists
* Before Visit 1: Short acting bronchodilator within 6 hours of baseline pulmonary function testing
11. Patients with a risk for prolonged QT interval effects including:
* A marked baseline prolongation of the QT interval in the electrocardiogram by demonstration of a QTcB interval (Bazett's correction formula) \> 450 ms
* A history of additional risk factors for TdP (Torsades de pointes) e.g., heart failure, hypokalemia, family, history of Long QT Syndrome, etc.
* The use of concomitant medications known to prolong the QT/QTc interval
12. Pregnant or nursing women
13. Women of childbearing potential not using a highly effective method of birth control.
