A Double-blind, Placebo Controlled, Randomised, Parallel Group Phase IIa Study to Investigate the Efficacy, Tolerability, and Safety of Different Dosing Regimens of AZD8848 Administered Intranasally to Seasonal Allergic Rhinitis Patients Out of Pollen Season in a Nasal Allergen Challenge Model

Mean of Reflective (10 Min) Total Nasal Symptom Score (TNSS)

时间窗: During 4th day to 7th day of Allergen challenge period.

Mean of Reflective Total Nasal Symptom Score (absolute values) for symptoms over the last 10 minutes after allergen challenge, collected during clinic visits. The Mean is calculated over 4th day to 7th day of the Allergen challenge period. Each individual symptom is scored 0 to 3, which 0 = Absence of symptoms, 1 = Mild symptoms, 2 = Moderate symptoms and 3 = Severe symptoms. The scores of each individual symptom (runny nose, blocked nose and the maximum score of nasal itching or sneezing) will be added together to give a TNSS of 0 to 9. TNSS Score 0 indicates better outcome and TNSS score 9 indicates worse outcome. Allergen challenge period starts 24 hrs post last dose. Number of Participants Analyzed is based on all patients with evaluable efficacy and/or biomarker data from the challenge period (Visit 15).

Mean of Morning Measurements of Reflective (12 Hrs) Total Nasal Symptom Score (TNSS)

时间窗: During evening of the 1st day to the morning of the 8th day of Allergen challenge period.

Mean of morning measurements of Reflective Total Nasal Symptom Score (absolute values) of symptoms over the last 12 hours during allergen challenge, collected in patient diary. The Mean is calculated over the evening of the 1st day to the morning of 8th day of the Allergen challenge period. Each individual symptom is scored 0 to 3, which 0 = Absence of symptoms, 1 = Mild symptoms, 2 = Moderate symptoms and 3 = Severe symptoms. The scores of each individual symptom (runny nose, blocked nose and the maximum score of nasal itching or sneezing) will be added together to give a TNSS of 0 to 9. TNSS Score 0 indicates better outcome and TNSS score 9 indicates worse outcome. Allergen challenge period starts 24 hrs post last dose. Number of Participants Analyzed is based on all patients with evaluable efficacy and/or biomarker data from the challenge period (Visit 15).

Mean of Evening Measurements of Reflective (12 Hrs) Total Nasal Symptom Score (TNSS)

时间窗: During the evening of the 1st day to the morning of the 8th day of Allergen challenge period.

Mean of evening measurements of Reflective Total Nasal Symptom Score (absolute values) of symptoms over the last 12 hours during allergen challenge, collected in patient diary. The Mean is calculated over the evening of the 1st day to the morning of 8th day of the Allergen challenge period. Each individual symptom is scored 0 to 3, which 0 = Absence of symptoms, 1 = Mild symptoms, 2 = Moderate symptoms and 3 = Severe symptoms. The scores of each individual symptom (runny nose, blocked nose and the maximum score of nasal itching or sneezing) will be added together to give a TNSS of 0 to 9. TNSS Score 0 indicates better outcome and TNSS score 9 indicates worse outcome. Allergen challenge period starts 24 hrs post last dose. Number of Participants Analyzed is based on all patients with evaluable efficacy and/or biomarker data from the challenge period (Visit 15).

of Evening Measurements of Peak Nasal Inspiratory Flow (PNIF) (12 Hrs)

时间窗: During evening of the 1st day to the morning of the 8th day of Allergen challenge period.

Mean of evening measurements of Peak Nasal Inspiratory Flow (absolute values) of symptoms over the last 12 hours during allergen challenge, collected in patient diary. The Mean is calculated over the evening of the 1st day to the morning of 8th day of the Allergen challenge period. The patient will breathe out as much as he can. Then a mask (Portable Inspiratory Flow Meter) will be placed over the nose and mouth and the patient will inspire forcefully through the nose while the lips remain tightly closed. The highest PNIF (L/minute) out of 3 measurements will be recorded. Allergen challenge period starts 24 hrs post last dose. Number of Participants Analyzed is based on all patients with evaluable efficacy and/or biomarker data from the challenge period (Visit 15).

Mean of Peak Nasal Inspiratory Flow (PNIF) (10 Min)

时间窗: During 4th day to 7th day of Allergen challenge period.

Mean of Peak Nasal Inspiratory Flow (absolute values) recorded immediately after TNSS scoring (recall period 10 min), during Allergen challenge period. The Mean is calculated over 4th day to 7th day of the Allergen challenge period. The patient will breathe out as much as he can. Then a mask (Portable Inspiratory Flow Meter) will be placed over the nose and mouth and the patient will inspire forcefully through the nose while the lips remain tightly closed. The highest PNIF (L/minute) out of 3 measurements will be recorded. Allergen challenge period starts 24 hrs post last dose. Number of Participants Analyzed is based on all patients with evaluable efficacy and/or biomarker data from the challenge period (Visit 15).
