OMNARIS (ciclesonide)

Trial Activity: Declining
Respiratory Approved 2006-10-20

Omnaris is a nasal spray that treats nasal symptoms associated with seasonal allergies in adults and children six years of age and older. It also helps patients with year-round allergic rhinitis, specifically adults and adolescents twelve and older. This medication is used to manage the inflammation and congestion that occur during allergic reactions.

How OMNARIS Works

This medication works by converting into an active metabolite called des-ciclesonide after it is applied to the nasal passages. This active form has a high affinity for glucocorticoid receptors, allowing it to reduce inflammation by affecting various cell types and chemical mediators involved in the allergic response.

How We Calculate These Metrics

Trial Activity Stage

Measures the current development activity pattern based on trial phases, status, and trends. Important: This measures R&D activity, not commercial lifecycle.

Trial statuses: "Active" means recruiting or ongoing. "Completed" means reached planned endpoint. "Terminated" means stopped early—often due to safety, efficacy, or business reasons.

  • Growth: High proportion of early-phase trials (Phase 1/2), active development
  • Expansion: Significant Phase 3 activity, approaching or pursuing approvals
  • Mature: Substantial Phase 4 post-marketing studies
  • Stable: Mixed phase distribution, steady development
  • Declining: Low active trial ratio, reduced R&D investment
