SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: baseline, months 1,3,6,9 and 12/or early termination

Population: Analysis is based on safety population, which is defined as subjects who took at least one dose of study medication.

The RQLQ consists of 7 domains rated on a 7-point scale with 0 being not troubled by the allergy symptoms,and 6 being extremely troubled. Total possible RQLQ score is 42 at any given evaluation. Scale of how troubled is:0=Not,2=Somewhat,3=Moderate,4=Quite a bit,5=Very,6 Extremely. Only change from baseline to month 12 primary analysis is provided.
