Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Change From Baseline in Adenoid/Choana (A/C) Index Grade

    Changes in adenoid size were assessed by nasopharyngoscopic examination and were determined using the Adenoid/Choana (A/C) Index. Grades were assigned to intervals of A/C ratio percentages: grade I (0-25%), II (26-50%), III (51-75%) and IV (76-100%). Changes in adenoid size were expressed as the mean difference between grades at baseline and study visit. Positive values indicated a decrease in adenoid size, a 0 value indicated that size remained the same, and negative values indicated an increase in adenoid size.

    Baseline (visit 2), Weeks 4 (visit 3), Week 8 (visit 4)

Secondary Outcomes (19)

  • Total Severity Symptom Scores: Morning and Evening (AM & PM)

    Baseline (Visit 2), Week 4 (Visit 3), Week 8 (Visit 4)

  • Total Frequency Symptom Scores: AM & PM

    Baseline (Visit 2), Week 4 (Visit 3), Week 8 (Visit 4)

  • Number of Participants With Bilateral Tympanogram Results of: Normal, Abnormal, or Not Done

    Baseline (Visit 2), Week 4 (Visit 3), Week 8 (Visit 4)

  • Number of Participants With Otoscopic Results of: Normal or Abnormal

    Baseline (Visit 2), Week 4 (Visit 3), Week 8 (Visit 4)

  • Number of Participants With Rhinoscopic- Septum Results of: Aligned, Non-Obstructive, or Obstructive Deviation

    Baseline (Visit 2), Week 4 (Visit 3), Week 8 (Visit 4)

  • +14 more secondary outcomes

  • Children with a history of adenoid hypertrophy for at least 3 months with no response to previous medical treatment
  • Baseline adenoid tissue size must have been graded by nasopharyngoscopy examination as Grade III or IV on the Adenoid/Choana (A/C) Index (between 50% and 100% obstruction)
  • Baseline Total Severity Symptoms Score must be ≥ 8 points (AM or PM)

You may not qualify if:

  • Participants with previous surgery of hypertrophic adenoids with or without tympanostomy tube placement
  • Participants treated with inhaled or systemic corticosteroids within the past 1 month
  • Participants with Morbid Obesity (Body Mass Index \>95 percentile of charts from the Centers for Disease Control)

  • Participants with signs and symptoms of acute or chronic bacterial rhinosinusitis
  • Participants has had an upper or lower respiratory tract or sinus infection that required antibiotic therapy with the last dose later than 14 days prior to screening, or who has had a viral upper or lower respiratory infection within 7 days prior to screening
  • Participants with a documented immunodeficiency condition
  • Participants with nasal structural abnormalities, including large nasal polyps and marked septum deviation that significantly interferes with nasal airflow
