Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Mean Percent Change in Reflective Total Nasal Symptom Score (rTNSS) From Baseline
Time Frame: 14 Days minus baseline
Responses to patient-completed diaries for reflective Total Nasal Symptom Scores (rTNSS). TNSS is composed of 4 individual assessments, which included runny nose, itchy nose, stuffy nose, and sneezing; each of the 4 assessments were rated using a 4 point scale that ranged in whole units from 0 (none) to 3 (severe). All 4 assessments are then added together for a composite score (TNSS score), the maximum of which could be 12. Reflective scores were assessed from the hour since the last dose of study medication.
14 Days minus baseline
Mean Percent Change in Instantaneous Total Nasal Symptom Score (iTNSS) From Baseline
Time Frame: 14 days minus baseline
Responses to patient-completed diaries for instantaneous Total Nasal Symptom Scores (iTNSS). TNSS is composed of 4 individual assessments, which included runny nose, itchy nose, stuffy nose, and sneezing; each of the 4 assessments were rated using a 4 point scale that ranged in whole units from 0 (none) to 3 (severe). All 4 assessments are then added together for a composite score (TNSS score), the maximum of which could be 12. Instantaneous scores were assessed at the time of daily dosing.
14 days minus baseline
Mean Percent Change in Reflective Total Ocular Symptom Scores (rTOSS) From Baseline
Time Frame: 14 Days minus baseline
Responses to patient-completed diaries for reflective Total Ocular Symptom Scores (rTOSS). TOSS is composed of 3 individual assessments of ocular symptoms (itching/burning, tearing/watering, redness) each of the 3 assessments were rated using a 4 point scale that ranged in whole units from 0 (none) to 3 (severe). All 3 assessments are then added together for a composite score (TOSS score), the maximum of which could be 9. Reflective scores were assessed from the hour since the last dose of study medication.
14 Days minus baseline
Mean Percent Change in Instantaneous Total Ocular Symptom Scores (iTOSS) From Baseline
Time Frame: 14 Days minus baseline
Responses to patient-completed diaries for instantaneous Total Ocular Symptom Scores (iTOSS). TOSS is composed of 3 individual assessments of ocular symptoms (itching/burning, tearing/watering, redness) each of the 3 assessments were rated using a 4 point scale that ranged in whole units from 0 (none) to 3 (severe). All 3 assessments are then added together for a composite score (TOSS score), the maximum of which could be 9. Instantaneous scores were assessed at the time of daily dosing.
