Brief Summary

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

The study was to determine if the drug worked to relieve nasal congestion experienced by people with seasonal allergies.

Detailed Description

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

Subjects who met the inclusion/exclusion criteria were enrolled into the placebo run-in phase of the study on Day -7 (prerandomization, Visit 1). Baseline symptom scores were established during this run-in phase.

Subjects with moderate nasal congestion who took at least 80% of their study medication during the run-in phase were eligible for enrollment in the two-week double-blind phase of the study and were randomized on Day 1 (randomization, Visit 2). They were treated for two weeks with their assigned medication. The severity of signs/symptoms were evaluated by the subjects every morning and night and by the investigator at each visit on Day 7 and Day 14.

In addition, the subject and investigator provided a global evaluation of response to treatment on Day 7 and Day 14. Safety was evaluated by adverse events reported during the study, vital signs, and the incidence of somnolence.
