简要总结
The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy and safety of MK-8237 (SCH 900237) in the treatment of House Dust Mite (HDM)-Induced Allergic Rhinitis/Rhinoconjunctivitis (AR/ARC) in children and adults.
The primary hypothesis of this study is that administration of MK-8237, compared to placebo, results in significant reduction in the average total combined rhinitis score (TCRS).

结局指标
主要结局
Number of Participants Who Experience At Least One Adverse Event (AE)
时间窗: Up to 54 weeks
An AE is defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical investigation participant administered a pharmaceutical product and which does not necessarily have to have a causal relationship with this treatment.
Average Total Combined Rhinitis Score (TCRS) During Last 8 Weeks of Treatment
时间窗: Last 8 weeks of treatment (Weeks 44 to 52)
The TCRS is the sum of the rhinitis Daily Symptom Score (DSS; range: 0 to 12) and the rhinitis Daily Medication Score (DMS; range: 0 to 12); the total possible TCRS ranges from 0 to 24 points with higher scores indicative of greater symptom severity. The endpoint was calculated as the average daily diary entry score from the last 8 weeks of treatment.
Number of Participants Who Discontinue Study Drug Due to an AE
时间窗: Up to 52 weeks
An AE is defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical investigation participant administered a pharmaceutical product and which does not necessarily have to have a causal relationship with this treatment.
次要结局

- Average Allergic Rhinitis/Rhinoconjunctivitis Symptoms Assessed by Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) During Last 8 Weeks of Treatment(Last 8 weeks of treatment (Weeks 44 to 52))
- Average Rhinitis Daily Medication Score (Rhinitis DMS) During Last 8 Weeks of Treatment(Last 8 weeks of treatment (Weeks 44 to 52))
- Average Total Combined Rhinoconjunctivitis Score (TCS) During Last 8 Weeks of Treatment(Last 8 weeks of treatment (Weeks 44 to 52))
