SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline and at endpoint of the 2 week treatment period

Population: Number of participants from the ITT population with available overall RQLQ score at Endpoint visit and at Baseline

The RQLQ is a validated instrument composed of 28 questions covering 7 dimensions of health. Each question is scored on a scale of 0 to 6 (in which 0 = not troubled and 6 = extremely troubled), and the mean value for each health dimension is calculated. Overall health-related quality of life is expressed as the mean of the seven dimension scores and ranges from 0 to 6. Endpoint is defined as the last available postbaseline measurement during the two week treatment period.

The Work Productivity and Activity Impairment-Allergy Specific (WPAI-AS) has been validated to measure generic and allergy-specific performance impairment of work and classroom productivity and of regular daily activity. Higher scores (0% to 100%) indicate greater impairment and a negative change from baseline indicates improvement.

The Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS) is the criterion standard for measuring daytime sleepiness in adults. Subjects are asked to rate the chances of dozing off or falling asleep in eight situations encountered in daily life on a scale of 0 to 3, with scores ranging from 0 to 24. A score \>= 8 indicates sleepiness. Endpoint is defined as the last available postbaseline measurement during the two week treatment period.
