Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Percentage of Participants Who Experience at Least One Adverse Event (AE)
Up to 14 days after last dose of study drug (Up to 14 weeks)

An AE is any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom or disease temporally associated with the use of study drug or protocol-specified procedure, whether or not considered related to the study drug or protocol-specified procedure. Any worsening of a pre-existing condition that is temporally associated with the use of study drug is also an AE. Participants were monitored for the occurrence of AEs for up to 14 days after last dose of study drug (up to a total of 14 weeks). AEs were reported based on the dose of study drug participants received.

Percentage of Participants Who Discontinue Study Drug Due to an AE
Up to 12 weeks

An AE is any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom or disease temporally associated with the use of study drug or protocol-specified procedure, whether or not considered related to the study drug or protocol-specified procedure. Any worsening of a pre-existing condition that is temporally associated with the use of study drug is also an AE. Discontinuations due to an AE were reported based on the dose of study drug participants received.

Area Under the Time-Concentration Curve (AUC 0-∞) of Montelukast CT and Montelukast OG
Up to Day 28 after first dose of study drug

Blood samples for pharmacokinetic (PK) assessments were collected at either 1 hour (h) or 3 h post-dose on Day 1 and at either 14 h or 22 h post-dose on Day 28.

Maximum Plasma Concentration (Cmax) of Montelukast CT and Montelukast OG
Up to Day 28 after first dose of study drug

Blood samples for PK assessments were collected at either 1 h or 3 h post-dose on Day 1 and at either 14 h or 22 h post-dose on Day 28.

Time to Cmax (Tmax) of Montelukast CT and Montelukast OG
Up to Day 28 after first dose of study drug

Blood samples for PK assessments were collected at either 1 h or 3 h post-dose on Day 1 and at either 14 h or 22 h post-dose on Day 28.

Apparent Elimination Half-life (t1/2) of Montelukast CT and Montelukast OG
Up to Day 28 after first dose of study drug

Blood samples for PK assessments were collected at either 1 h or 3 h post-dose on Day 1 and at either 14 h or 22 h post-dose on Day 28.

Frequently asked questions about Montelukast Granules

What is Montelukast Granules used for?

Montelukast Granules is being developed for the treatment of perennial allergic rhinitis, a year-round allergic condition. It is an oral granule formulation studied in Japanese pediatric participants aged 1 year and older. The program is in Phase 3 development and is not approved for this use.

What does Montelukast Granules target?

Montelukast Granules targets CYSLTR1, the cysteinyl leukotriene receptor 1. It acts as an antagonist at this receptor, blocking leukotriene-mediated signaling that contributes to allergic inflammation in the airways. This mechanism underlies its investigation in perennial allergic rhinitis.

Who makes Montelukast Granules?

Montelukast Granules is being developed by Organon & Co., which trades under the ticker OGN. Organon is the sponsor of the clinical program evaluating this oral granule formulation for perennial allergic rhinitis.

What phase is Montelukast Granules in?

Montelukast Granules is in Phase 3 development. The program includes one completed Phase 3 trial, and no trials are currently active. It is an investigational formulation and has not been approved for perennial allergic rhinitis.

What clinical trials is Montelukast Granules in?

Montelukast Granules has been studied in one completed Phase 3 trial, NCT01852812, titled a study of the safety and pharmacokinetics of montelukast (MK-0476) in Japanese pediatric participants with perennial allergic rhinitis. The trial enrolled 87 participants aged 1 year and older and used a controlled design.

Is Montelukast Granules the same as Montelukast Oral Granules (OG)?

Yes, Montelukast Granules is also known as Montelukast Oral Granules (OG). Both names refer to the same oral granule formulation of montelukast developed by Organon for perennial allergic rhinitis.
