Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Change From Baseline in 12-hour Reflective Total Nasal Symptom Score (AM and PM Combined) at 28 Days.

    Reflective total nasal symptom score consisting of Runny nose, itchy nose, nasal Congestion, and Sneezing was assessed twice daily. Each symptom is rated on a scale from 0-3: 0=none, 1=mild, 2=moderate, and 3=severe. Total possible score is 24 per day Least square means (LS Mean) was controlled for study day as the within-patient effect, treatment group and site as the between-patient effects, treatment by-study day interaction, and basline as a covariate.

    baseline and 28 days
