Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Average Rhinoconjunctivitis Total Symptom Score (ARTSS)

    Average Rhinoconjunctivitis Total Symptom Score during the pollen period while participant on treatment. Participants assessed daily, during the pollen period, 6 rhinoconjunctivitis symptoms (sneezing, rhinorrhea, nasal pruritus, nasal congestion, ocular pruritus and watery eyes) each symptom is scored as follows: 0: no symptoms, 1: mild symptoms, 2: moderate symptoms, 3: severe symptoms. The sum of the 6 symptoms is the Rhinoconjunctivitis Total Symptom Score (RTSS) (range 0-18). The lower the score, the better the outcome.

    Pollen period (average of 38.6 days)
