A double blind group comparative trial comparing 2% nedocromil sodium with placebo in treating seasonal allergic conjunctivitis over a four week period is reported. Sixty-four patients were analysed. During the period of peak pollen challenge, statistically significant differences in favour of nedocromil sodium for itching and soreness were demonstrated. During a longer period of a less high pollen count, a significant difference in favour of nedocromil sodium was shown only for the symptom of soreness.

A 3-month double-blind group comparative trial of nedocromil sodium (4 mg twice daily) and placebo was carried out in 30 adult asthmatic patients maintained on bronchodilator therapy. Fifteen patients received each treatment. Subjective (asthma symptoms and severity) and objective (lung function and use of concomitant medication) variables were measured to monitor the response to trial treatments. Significant differences in favour of nedocromil sodium for night-time asthma, daytime asthma, cough, daytime bronchodiiator use and clinic assessment of forced expiratory volume during the first second of expiration were observed by week 4 of the trial. The diurnal variation in peak expiratory flow rate was reduced in the nedocromil sodium treated patients. There were no serious adverse reactions and no treatment related changes in haematological findings, blood biochemistry or urinalysis.

Fifteen general practitioners conducted a randomized, double-blind comparative trial of two cerumenolytics, namely, Otocerol® and Cerumol®. A total of 106 patients were entered into the study (fifty-three in each group). Otocerol was shown to be marginally better than Cerumol in all parameters evaluated.
