Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Mean 24-hour Reflective Total 5 Symptoms Score (T5SS) Over the Total Treatment Period (14 Days)
Total 5 Symptoms Score (T5SS) is the sum of rhinorrhea, sneezing, nasal congestion, itchy nose and itchy eyes scores. Each individual symptom was scored from 0 (none) to 3 (severe). Total score ranges from 0 to 15.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Change From Baseline in Overall Rhinoconjunctivitis Quality of Life Questionnaire (RQLQ) Score at Endpoint During the Two-week Treatment Period
The RQLQ is a validated instrument composed of 28 questions covering 7 dimensions of health. Each question is scored on a scale of 0 to 6 (in which 0 = not troubled and 6 = extremely troubled), and the mean value for each health dimension is calculated. Overall health-related quality of life is expressed as the mean of the seven dimension scores and ranges from 0 to 6. Endpoint is defined as the last available postbaseline measurement during the two week treatment period.

Secondary Outcome Measure Information:
Title
Change From Baseline in Overall Rhinoconjunctivitis Quality of Life Questionnaire (RQLQ) Score at Endpoint During the Two-week Treatment Period
Description
The RQLQ is a validated instrument composed of 28 questions covering 7 dimensions of health. Each question is scored on a scale of 0 to 6 (in which 0 = not troubled and 6 = extremely troubled), and the mean value for each health dimension is calculated. Overall health-related quality of life is expressed as the mean of the seven dimension scores and ranges from 0 to 6. Endpoint is defined as the last available postbaseline measurement during the two week treatment period.
