NCT ID NCT07345442
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This early-stage trial tested the safety and tolerability of a new corticosteroid nasal spray called PA9159 in 36 healthy Chinese adults. Participants received either a single dose or seven daily doses of the spray, or a placebo. The goal was to find the maximum safe dose and see how the drug moves through the body. This is a first step toward possibly treating allergic rhinitis.
