Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The objective of the study is to evaluate the efficacy and tolerability of Bilastine 20 mg, compared to Cetirizine and placebo for the treatment of seasonal allergic rhinitis.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

In this pivotal, multicentre, international, randomized, double-blind, placebo and active-comparator controlled, parallel study, 683 patients with SAR will be enrolled. Patients will be required to be 12-70 years old, have SAR for ≥2 years, a positive skin test, total nasal and non-nasal score (TSS) ≥36 (out of 72) during run-in, and a composite instantaneous nasal symptom score ≥6 (out of 12) the morning before randomization. The primary efficacy endpoint will be the AUC of reflective TSS from baseline to Day 14.

Exclusion Criteria

* Patients who have non-allergic rhinitis (vasomotor, infectious, drug-induced, etc.).
* Negative skin prick test (as defined in point 6.1.1.).
* Patients with nasal polyps or a significant deviation of the nasal septum as judged by the investigator as well as nasal intervention in the previous 6 months. Any other nasal illness that can interfere with the aim of the study.
