Recruitment Details
Key information relevant to the recruitment process for the overall study, such as dates of the recruitment period and locations
A total of 139 patients were screened and 128 patients were enrolled in the study and participated in the Run-in Period. Of the 128 enrolled patients, 107 were randomized to study treatment.

Pre-Assignment Details
Significant events and approaches for the overall study following participant enrollment, but prior to group assignment
During the 7 to 14 day Run-in Period (prior to randomization), participants self-administered a single-blind placebo nasal aerosol once daily in the morning.

Reporting Groups
  Description
BDP HFA 320 µg/Day Participants self-administered 4 actuations (two per nostril) of 80 µg beclomethasone dipropionate (BDP) hydrofluoroalkane (HFA) once daily each morning for 6 weeks (42 days). During week 6 (days 36-42), participants also took a placebo capsule as double-blind therapy for prednisone.
Placebo Participants self-administered 4 actuations (two per nostril) of placebo HFA once daily each morning for 6 weeks (42 days) as double-blind therapy for BDP. During week 6 (days 36-42), participants also took a placebo capsule as double-blind therapy for prednisone.
Placebo/Prednisone Participants self-administered 4 actuations (two per nostril) of placebo HFA once daily each morning for 6 weeks (42 days) as double-blind therapy for BDP. During week 6 (days 36-42), participants also took a 10/mg a day prednisone capsule.
