    Outcome Measures

    Primary Outcome Measures

    1. Change From Baseline in Total Nasal Symptom Score (TNSS) Averaged During 3 Hours of Exposure [Baseline and after 3 hours of pollen exposure on Day 7 of each treatment period]

      The TNSS is the sum of the three nasal symptom scores for nasal congestion, nasal discharge and sneezing. Participants completed a questionnaire about their nasal symptoms. Score ranged from 0 to 4 for each of the three nasal symptoms, with a total possible score ranging from 0 to 12 and a higher score indicating more severe nasal symptoms. The baseline TNSS was assessed on Day 7 of a treatment period prior to entering the chamber room. The post-baseline TNSS was assessed on Day 7 of a treatment period during 3 hours of exposure to Japanes cedar (JC) pollen in the chamber room, as an average of measurements at 30, 60, 90, 120, 150 and 180 minutes. Analysis was done by study drug as taken.

    2. Percentage of Participants Who Experience at Least One Adverse Event [Up to 5 weeks]

      An adverse event is defined as any unfavorable and unintended change in the structure, function, or chemistry of the body temporally associated with the use of the study drug, whether or not considered related to the use of the product. Participants were monitored for occurrence adverse events for up to 14 days after last dose of study drug. Analysis was done by study drug as taken.
