Outcomes
Primary Outcome Measures
Mean Change From Baseline in Daytime Nasal Symptoms Score
Mean change from baseline in Daytime Nasal Symptoms score.
Patients were asked to rate each nasal symptom of Congestion, Rhinorrhea, Itching, and Sneezing daily on a 4-point scale [Score 0 (best) to 3 (worst)]. The average of the 4 individual nasal symptoms scores was reported as the Daytime Nasal Symptoms Score.
Secondary Outcome Measures
Mean Change From Baseline in Nighttime Symptoms Score
Mean change from baseline in Nighttime Symptoms Score.
Patients were asked to rate each symptom daily on a 4-point scale [Score 0 (best) to 3 (worst)], and the average score of Nasal Congestion Upon Awakening, Difficulty Going to Sleep, and Nighttime Awakenings was reported as the Nighttime Symptoms Score.
Mean Change From Baseline in Composite Symptoms Score
Composite Symptoms Scores were computed as the average of the Daytime Nasal Symptoms Scores [Score 0 (best) to 3 (worst)]. and Nighttime Symptoms Scores collected [Score 0 (best) to 3 (worst)].
Patient's Global Evaluation of Allergic Rhinitis
An evaluation by the patient, administered at week 4 of the study (or upon discontinuation) using a 7-point scale [Score 0 (best) to 6 (worst)], of the change in symptoms as compared to the beginning of the study.
Physician's Global Evaluation of Allergic Rhinitis
An evaluation by the physician, administered at week 4 of the study (or upon discontinuation) using a 7-point scale [Score 0 (best) to 6 (worst)], of the change in symptoms as compared to the beginning of the study.
