Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Mean Change From Baseline in Daytime Nasal Symptoms Score Averaged Over the 6-week Treatment Period in Patients With Perennial Allergic Rhinitis
Time Frame: 6 week treatment period (from baseline though the end of week 6)
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 Outcomes
- Mean Change From Baseline in Rhinoconjunctivitis Quality-of-life Questionnaire (RQLQ) Overall Score After the 6 Week Treatment Period(Baseline and Week 6)
- Patient's Global Evaluation of Allergic Rhinitis at the End of the 6 Week Treatment Period(At the end of the 6 week treatment period)
