NCT ID NCT03570957

First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This early-stage study tested a single dose of the investigational drug MT-2990 in 75 adults with seasonal allergic rhinitis triggered by Japanese cedar pollen. The main goals were to check the drug's safety, how the body processes it, and whether it can reduce allergy symptoms when patients are exposed to pollen in a controlled chamber. Results will help decide if larger studies are warranted.
