PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline and Weeks 1-2

Population: One analysis population was defined for this study, the Intent-to-Treat population. . The Intent-to-Treat (ITT) population included all subjects randomized to double-blind treatment. This population formed the basis for all summaries of demographic, background, efficacy, and safety data.

Questions include: 1. Nasal congestion on awakening (Score: 0=none, 1=mild, 2=moderate, 3=severe); 2. Difficulty going to sleep (Score: 0=not at all, 1=little, 2=moderately, 3=very); 3. Nighttime awakenings (Score: 0=not at all, 1=once, 2=more than once, 3=felt like awake all night). The sum of the ratings for the three items comprises the NSS.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline and Weeks 1-2

Population: Two subjects in the placebo group \& three in the FFNS group recorded no data during the two-week treatment period.

Subjects used a portable hand-held inspiratory flow meter to measure and record PNIF in the morning prior to taking the study medication. Three measurements were taken and the highest measurement was recorded in the electronic diary. A positive change signifies improved nasal air flow.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline, Day 15 or if Early Withdrawal Day

Population: Ten placebo subjects, six FFNS subjects, and four fexofenadine subjects had no overall NRQLQ score at endpoint, indicating either a missing score for one or more of the NRQLQ domains, a missing baseline score, or both. One additional FFNS patient had no on-treatment NRQLQ data.

Subjects completed the 16-item Nocturnal Rhinoconjunctivitis Quality of Life Questionnaire (NRQLQ)to assess nocturnal rhinitis-related quality of life. The NRQLQ measures the functional problems most troublesome to patients with nocturnal allergy symptoms. Each question scored from 0-6 with higher scores indicating more nocturnal impairment.
