Outcomes
Primary Outcome Measures
Baseline Adjusted Area Under the Curve (AUC) of Minimal Cross-Sectional Area (MCA) of Nasal Cavity by Acoustic Rhinometry
The AcR was an objective measurement of nasal congestion that assessed nasal cavity geometry (that is, MCA) and changes in dimensions of nasal cavity. The AUC of MCA was used as response variable to assess treatment effect. AUC was adjusted for Baseline MCA scores. Baseline MCA was defined as minimum mean MCA at pre-dose (approximately 2 hours before Environmental Exposure Chamber [EEC] entry) resulting from 3 measurements on both, left and right nostrils in each of the treatment periods. The AUC of MCA was baseline-adjusted, by subtracting the Baseline value from each of the post-treatment times before calculating the AUC.
Secondary Outcome Measures
Baseline Adjusted Area Under the Curve (AUC) of Total Nasal Symptom Score (TNSS)
The TNSS was the sum of individual symptoms of runny nose, sneezing, itchy nose, and nasal congestions. Participants assessed each individual symptoms on a scale of 0-3 where: 0=absent, 1=mild, 2=moderate and 3=severe. TNSS score ranges from 0 to 12 and higher scores indicate worsening. The AUC of TNSS was used as response variable to assess the treatment effect. AUC was adjusted for Baseline TNSS scores. Baseline TNSS was defined as the symptom scores for each treatment period at pre-dose (approximately 2 hour before EEC entry).
Change From Baseline in Total Nasal Symptom Score (TNSS) at 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 3.5, 4, 4.5, 5, 5.5, 6, 6.5, 7, 7.5 and 8 Hours After Drug Administration at Day 1
The TNSS was the sum of individual symptoms of runny nose, sneezing, itchy nose, and nasal congestions. Participants assessed each individual symptoms on a scale of 0-3 where: 0=absent, 1=mild, 2=moderate and 3=severe. TNSS score ranges from 0 to 12 and higher scores indicate worsening. Change from Baseline in TNSS is the value at particular time point minus value at Baseline.
Change From Baseline in Minimal Cross-Sectional Area (MCA) at 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8 Hours After Drug Administration at Day 1
The MCA was measured using AcR which is an objective measurement of nasal congestion that assesses nasal cavity geometry (that is, MCA) and changes in the dimensions of the nasal cavity. Change from Baseline in MCA is the value at particular time point minus value at Baseline.

5. Study Description
Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the relative efficacy of JNJ- 39220675 and pseudoephedrine compared to placebo (medication with no active ingredients) in participants with allergic rhinitis (inflammation of the nose due to exposure to allergens such as pollen, dust or animal hair).
Detailed Description
This is a randomized (the study drug is assigned by chance), single-dose, single-blind (a clinical trial in which the person giving the treatment, but not the participant, knows which treatment the participant is receiving), double-dummy, placebo-controlled, three-treatment period, cross-over (participants may receive different interventions sequentially during the trial) study of JNJ-39220675 in participants with allergic rhinitis. The duration of study will be 20-64 days per participant. The study consists of 2 parts: Screening (that is, 30 days before study commences on Day 1) and Treatment (consists of single-dose of either JNJ-39220675 solution [10 milligram], Pseudoephedrine tablet [60 milligram] or Placebo, in subsequent three-treatment periods, each separated with washout period of 6 days). All the eligible participants will be randomly assigned to 1 of the 6 treatment sequences. Participants will be given dose approximately 2 hours before entry into the environmental exposure chamber where they will be exposed to ragweed pollen for 8 hours. Efficacy will primarily be evaluated by measurement of nasal congestion that will be assessed through nasal cavity geometry that is, minimal cross-sectional area of nasal cavity by Acoustic rhinometry. Participants' safety will be monitored throughout the study.
