Primary outcomes

  1. Change From Baseline in the Total Nasal Symptom Score (TNSS) (Average of Morning [AM]/Evening [PM] Score) Averaged Over Days 1 to 15 (Participant-Evaluated)

    Time frame: Baseline, and Days 1 through 15 (average of 15 days of treatment)

    TNSS evaluated participant nasal symptoms of discharge (rhinorrhea), stuffiness, sneezing, and itching, as rated in their diary in the morning (AM) and evening (PM). The 4 individual symptom scores rated as follows: 0 = none, 1 = mild, 2 = moderate, 3 = severe. TNSS was the sum of the 4 individual symptom scores (range= 0-12, higher score indicating more frequent/severe nasal symptoms). For the 15 day interval, participant individual daily scores were totaled and averaged over interval (AM and PM computed separately then averaged) and used to calculate the overall average change from Baseline. Participant average changes were then used to calculate the mean change for each arm for the interval. Average change from Baseline for Days 1-15 = average post-treatment score (Days 1-15) - Baseline average score (average of the Baseline AM/PM diary scores from 3 consecutive days prior to Baseline visit). Negative changes from baseline indicate a decrease in symptom severity.

  2. Number of Participants Who Experienced ≥1 Adverse Event

    Time frame: Up to 31 Days

    An AE was defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a participant administered a pharmaceutical product and which did not necessarily have to have a causal relationship with this treatment. An AE could therefore be any unfavourable and unintended sign, symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a medicinal product or protocol-specified procedure, whether or not considered related to the medicinal product or protocol-specified procedure. Any worsening of a pre-existing condition that was temporally associated with the use of the Sponsor's product was also an AE. The number of participants with at least one AE was reported for each treatment group.

  3. Number of Participants Who Discontinued Treatment Due to An Adverse Event (AE)

    Time frame: Up to 31 Days

    An AE was defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a participant administered a pharmaceutical product and which did not necessarily have to have a causal relationship with this treatment. An AE could therefore be any unfavourable and unintended sign, symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a medicinal product or protocol-specified procedure, whether or not considered related to the medicinal product or protocol-specified procedure. Any worsening of a pre-existing condition that was temporally associated with the use of the Sponsor's product was also an AE. The number of participants who discontinued due to an AE was reported for each treatment group.

Secondary outcomes

  1. Change From Baseline in the TNSS At Day 4 (Physician-Evaluated)

    Time frame: Baseline (Day 1), Day 4

    TNSS evaluated participant nasal symptoms of discharge (rhinorrhea), stuffiness, sneezing, and itching. The 4 individual symptom scores were rated by the physician at the visit as follows: 0 = none, 1 = mild, 2 = moderate, 3 = severe. TNSS was the sum of the 4 individual symptom scores (range= 0-12, higher score indicating more frequent/severe nasal symptoms). For each participant, individual scores were totaled and used to calculate the change from Baseline in TNSS at the visit. Participant changes were then used to calculate the mean change for each treatment group at that visit. Change from Baseline = visit score - Baseline score (Day 1 visit). Negative changes from baseline indicate a decrease in symptom severity.

TNSS was the sum of the 4 individual symptom scores (range= 0-12, higher score indicating more frequent/severe nasal symptoms). For each participant, individual scores were totaled and used to calculate the change from Baseline in TNSS at the visit. Participant changes were then used to calculate the mean change for each treatment group at that visit. Change from Baseline = visit score - Baseline score (Day 1 visit). Negative changes from baseline indicate a decrease in symptom severity.
