Outcomes
Primary Outcome Measures
Mean Change From Baseline in Daytime Nasal Symptoms Score Averaged Over the 6-week Treatment Period in Patients With Perennial Allergic Rhinitis
Mean change from baseline in Daytime Nasal Symptoms score averaged over the 6-week treatment period. The Daytime Nasal Symptoms score was calculated as the average of the 3 individual scores for Congestion, Rhinorrhea, and Sneezing, each rated by patients daily on a 4-point scale [Score 0 (best) to 3 (worst)].
Secondary Outcome Measures
Patient's Global Evaluation of Allergic Rhinitis at the End of the 6 Week Treatment Period
An evaluation by the patient, administered at the last visit (or upon discontinuation) using a 7-point scale [Score 0 (best) to 6 (worst)], in answer to a single question regarding the change in symptoms as compared to the beginning of the study.
Mean Change From Baseline in Rhinoconjunctivitis Quality-of-life Questionnaire (RQLQ) Overall Score After the 6 Week Treatment Period
Patients completed the validated, self-administered RQLQ which included 28 items on a 7-point scale [Score 0 (best) to 6 (worst)] across 7 domains: activities, sleep, nonnose/eye symptoms, practical problems, nasal symptoms, eye symptoms, and emotional. The scores for each domain were averaged, then scores for the 7 domains were averaged to obtain the overall score.
