Alleviation of allergic symptoms induced by house dust mites when using the medical device AM-301. This clinical investigation explored the efficacy and safety of AM-301 when used to reduce symptoms of house dust mite sufferers. The primary objective was to compare the efficacy of AM-301 Device between treated and non-treated subjects in the treatment of perennial allergic rhinitis (PAR).
This was a randomized, open-label, 3-period crossover study. The total study duration was approximately 65 days and consisted of 2 screening visits and 3 treatment visits (total 5 visits) followed by a telephone call. Patients with HDM allergy as assessed by their medical history and a positive skin prick test for Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus (der p) allergen were enrolled into the screening phase. At least 7 days after the second screening visit, the treatment visits started. Eligible subjects were randomized to one of the six treatment sequences (ABC, BCA, CAB, ACB, BAC, CBA) at an equal ratio. The treatments were applied 10 minutes before the challenge at Visit 3, 4 and 5: * Treatment A: One spray AM-301 (0.14 mL) per nostril, * Treatment B: Two sprays AM-301 (0.28 mL) per nostril (at two defined spray angles in order to obtain a broader coverage of the nasal mucosa), * Treatment C: no treatment. The cross-over design allowed treatment C to be used as internal control. Between the three treatment visits in the chamber there was a 7±2 days wash-out period.

Overall Change From Baseline in TNSS at Visits 3, 4 and 5
Total Nasal Symptom Score (TNSS) average from 20 - 180 minutes will be compared between treated and non-treated subjects. Data from all three visits are combined. Scale for a single symptom is from 0 - 3, 0 meaning no symptoms and 3 severe symptoms. Assessed symptoms are: nasal congestion, runny nose, nasal itching and sneezing. TNSS is the sum of the rating of all 4 symptoms and ranges from 0-12.
Time frame: Day 8 to Day 22
Difference of Total Nasal Symptom Score (TNSS) at Individual Timepoints During House Dust Mite Challenge in the EEC (0-180 Min) Between Single and Double Application of AM-301 and no Treatment.
Total Nasal Symptom Score (TNSS) average from 20 - 180 min was compared between treated and non-treated subjects. Scale for a single symptom is from 0 - 3, 0 meaning no symptoms and 3 severe symptoms. Assessed symptoms are: nasal congestion, runny nose, nasal itching and sneezing. TNSS is the sum of the rating of all 4 symptoms and ranges from 0-12. This descriptive endpoint was not corrected for baseline.
Time frame: Day 8 to Day 22
