A completed Phase 2 clinical trial sponsored by GlaxoSmithKline evaluated the therapeutic efficacy of intranasal azelastine hydrochloride in patients with allergic rhinitis and seasonal allergic rhinitis. Using an allergen challenge model, the trial investigated repeat intranasal dosing of azelastine hydrochloride in combination with an investigational agent. Overall, the clinical trial demonstrates the targeted application of intranasal azelastine hydrochloride for modulating allergic responses and relieving seasonal rhinitis symptoms.
