Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Mean Change From Baseline in the 3 Total Nasal Symptom Score (3TNSS) Over the Entire Treatment Period	Baseline through the entire treatment period (2 weeks)	The 3TNSS is the sum of the 3 individual symptom scores for sneezing, rhinorrhea, and nasal congestion. Each symptom is scored on a scale from 0 to 3; the range of sums for the 3TNSS is 0 to 9. The symptoms were evaluated using a scale of 0, 1, 2, or 3; a larger score indicates more severe symptoms. The participant's parent/guardian who signed the informed consent form (ICF) or the participant themself scored nasal symptoms every day during the screening period and the treatment period. The Baseline value is defined as the average 3TNSS over the last 4 consecutive days prior to Visit 2 (start of the treatment period). For the entire assessment period, a mean score for each participant was calculated using available diary data from the assessment periods, taking the average of non-missing data during the period. Change from Baseline was calculated as the mean score for the entire treatment period minus the score at Baseline.
