Study FFR116364, a Placebo-controlled Study of GW685698X in Paediatric Subjects With Perennial Allergic Rhinitis

The 3TNSS is the sum of the 3 individual symptom scores for sneezing, rhinorrhea, and nasal congestion. Each symptom is scored on a scale from 0 to 3; the range of sums for the 3TNSS is 0 to 9. The symptoms were evaluated using a scale of 0, 1, 2, or 3; a larger score indicates more severe symptoms. The participant's parent/guardian who signed the informed consent form (ICF) or the participant themself scored nasal symptoms every day during the screening period and the treatment period. The Baseline value is defined as the average 3TNSS over the last 4 consecutive days prior to Visit 2 (start of the treatment period). For the entire assessment period, a mean score for each participant was calculated using available diary data from the assessment periods, taking the average of non-missing data during the period. Change from Baseline was calculated as the mean score for the entire treatment period minus the score at Baseline.

Four individual symptoms (sneezing, rhinorrhea, nasal congestion, and nasal itching) were scored on a scale from 0 to 3 using a scale of 0, 1, 2, or 3; a larger score indicates more severe symptoms. The participant's parent/guardian who signed the ICF or the participant themself scored nasal symptoms every day during the screening period and the treatment period.

A mean score for each participant was calculated using available diary data from the assessment periods, taking the average of non-missing data during the period. Change from Baseline was calculated as the post-Baseline value minus the Baseline value.

Symptoms of eye itching, tearing, and redness were scored by the participant's parent/guardian who signed the ICF or the participant themself using a scale of 0, 1, 2, or 3 (a larger score indicates more severe symptoms) and were recorded in the participant's diary. The TOSS is the sum of all three symtpom scores and ranges from 0 to 9. The mean of the Baseline period is defined as the mean score of 4 consecutive days prior to Visit 2 (start of the treatment period). The mean of each assessment period is defined as the mean score of the entire treatment period (Weeks 1 and 2), Week 1, and Week 2.
