Results Overview

TNSS was defined as the sum of the following four nasal symptoms: rhinorrhea, nasal congestion/stuffiness, nasal itching, sneezing; each symptom scored on a scale of 0 = none, 1 = mild, 2 = moderate, and 3 = severe. The best possible score on this scale is 0 and the worst possible score on this scale is 12.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline and 15 days

Population: All randomized participants were to be included in the analysis (intent-to-treat principle). However, subjects with a missing evaluation at a given visit or time point were not included in the analysis for that evaluation. This included participants without a baseline score for a given change-from-baseline evaluation.

TNSS was defined as the sum of the following four nasal symptoms: rhinorrhea, nasal congestion/stuffiness, nasal itching, sneezing; each symptom scored on a scale of 0 = none, 1 = mild, 2 = moderate, and 3 = severe. The best possible score on this scale is 0 and the worst possible score on this scale is 12.

TOSS was defined as the sum of the following three ocular symptoms: redness of eyes, itching/burning eyes, and tearing/watering eyes; each symptom scored on a scale of 0 = none, 1 = mild, 2 = moderate, and 3 = severe. The best possible score on this scale is 0 and the worst possible score on this scale is 9.

Nasal congestion was one of the symptoms measured in the TNSS and was scored on a scale of 0 = none, 1 = mild, 2 = moderate, and 3 = severe. The best possible score on this scale is 0 and the worst possible score on this scale is 3.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline and 15 days

Population: The RQLQ tool is only validated in participants greater than or equal to 18 years of age, so it was only administered in this age group.

The RQLQ consisted of 28 items that fell into the following seven domains: activities, sleep, non-nose/eye symptoms, practical problems, nasal symptoms, eye symptoms, and emotional. Each of the items was scored from 0 = not troubled to 6 = extremely troubled, and the total of the seven domains was the primary focus of this quality of life evaluation. The best possible score on this scale is 0 and the worst possible score on this scale is 42. The Endpoint was the last post baseline evaluation carried forward and was Day 15 for the majority of the participants.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline and 15 days

Population: All randomized participants were to be included in the analysis (intent-to-treat principle). However, subjects with a missing evaluation at a given visit or time point were not included in the analysis for that evaluation. This included participants without a baseline score for a given change-from-baseline evaluation.

Participants were to measure nasal airflow twice daily (in the morning prior to study drug dosing and in the evening) using their PNIF meter. The highest of 3 assessments was to be recorded in the electronic diary. The PNIF meter limits were between 30 and 370 liters/minute. Normal values range between 100 and 150 liters/minute. A positive change from Baseline correlates with improved nasal air flow.
