Frequently asked questions about Azelastine

What is Azelastine used for?

Azelastine is being developed for the treatment of allergic rhinitis. It is an investigational small molecule studied in adults 18 years and older. A Phase 3 trial evaluated how quickly azelastine hydrochloride 0.15% nasal spray relieves allergic rhinitis symptoms in patients.

How does Azelastine work?

Azelastine is an antagonist of HRH1, the histamine H1 receptor. By blocking HRH1, azelastine interferes with histamine signaling that drives allergic rhinitis symptoms. This targeted antagonism is the basis for its development as a small molecule therapy for allergic rhinitis.

Who makes Azelastine?

Azelastine is developed by Bayer AG, which trades under the ticker BAYRY. Bayer is the sponsor of the clinical program evaluating azelastine hydrochloride 0.15% nasal spray for allergic rhinitis.

What phase is Azelastine in?

Azelastine is in Phase 3 development for allergic rhinitis. The completed Phase 3 trial enrolled 110 participants. Azelastine is investigational and has not been approved for this use based on the available development information.

What clinical trials is Azelastine in?

Azelastine has been studied in the Phase 3 trial NCT04264637, titled "Study to Find Out How Long it Takes Azelastine Hydrochloride 0.15% Nasal Spray to Relieve Symptoms in Patients Suffering From Allergic Rhinitis." The trial was completed, enrolled 110 participants, and was conducted in Canada.

Is Azelastine the same as Azelastine hydrochloride (BAYR9258)?

Yes, Azelastine is also known as azelastine hydrochloride (BAYR9258). These names refer to the same small molecule being developed by Bayer AG for allergic rhinitis.
