Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Mean Change From Baseline in Daytime Nasal Symptoms ScoreBaseline and Week 2

Mean change from baseline in Daytime Nasal Symptoms score. Patients were asked to rate each of the 4 nasal symptoms of Congestion, Rhinorrhea, Itching, and Sneezing daily on a 4-point scale (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
NameTimeMethod
Mean Change From Baseline in Nighttime Symptoms ScoreBaseline and Week 2

Mean change from baseline in Nighttime Symptoms Score. Patients were asked to rate each symptom daily on a 4-point scale (0 (best) to 3 (worst)), and the combined score of Nasal Congestion Upon Awakening, Difficulty Going to Sleep, and Nighttime Awakenings was reported as the Nighttime Symptoms Score.

Change From Baseline in Composite Symptoms Score (Daytime Nasal and Nighttime Symptoms)Baseline and Week 2

Composite Symptoms scores were computed as the average of the Daytime Nasal Symptoms scores and Nighttime Symptoms scores collected on a 4 point scale (0 (best) to 3 (worst)).

Mean Change From Baseline in Daytime Nasal Congestion ScoreBaseline and Week 2

Patients were asked to rate the nasal symptom of Congestion daily on a 4-point scale (0 (best) to 3 (worst)).

Mean Change From Baseline in Daytime Eye Symptoms ScoreBaseline and Week 2

Mean change from baseline in Daytime Eye Symptoms scores. Patients were asked to rate each of the 4 eye symptom of tearing, itchy, red, and puffy eyes daily on a 4-point scale (0 (best) to 3 (worst)). The average of the 4 individual eye symptoms scores was reported as the Daytime Eye Symptoms Score.

Mean Change From Baseline in Daytime Rhinorrhea ScoreBaseline and Week 2

Patients were asked to rate the nasal symptom of Rhinorrhea daily on a 4-point scale (0 (best) to 3 (worst)).

Mean Change From Baseline in Daytime Nasal Itching ScoreBaseline and Week 2

Patients were asked to rate the nasal symptom of Nasal Itching daily on a 4-point scale (0 (best) to 3 (worst)).

Mean Change From Baseline in Daytime Sneezing ScoreBaseline and Week 2

Patients were asked to rate the nasal symptom of Sneezing daily on a 4-point scale (0 (best) to 3 (worst)).

Mean Change From Baseline in Nasal Congestion Upon AwakeningBaseline and Week 2

Patients were asked to rate the symptom of Nasal Congestion Upon Awakening daily on a 4-point scale (0 (best) to 3 (worst)).

Patient's Global Evaluation of Allergic RhinitisWeek 2

An evaluation by the patient, administered at the last visit (or upon discontinuation) using a 7-point scale, of the change in symptoms as compared to the beginning of the study. Responses were assigned numerical values from 0 (very much better) to 6 (very much worse).

Physician's Global Evaluation of Allergic RhinitisWeek 2

An evaluation by the physician, administered at the last visit (or upon discontinuation) using a 7-point scale, of the change in symptoms as compared to the beginning of the study. Responses were assigned numerical values from 0 (very much better) to 6 (very much worse).

Mean Change From Baseline in Rhinoconjunctivitis Quality-of-Life ScoreWeek 2

Patients completed a Rhinoconjunctivitis Quality-of-Life Questionnaire, 28 questions on a 7-point scale \[0(best) to 6(worst)\] across 7 domains: activities, sleep, non-nose/eye symptoms, practical problems, nasal symptoms, eye symptoms, emotional.
