Current Primary Outcome MeasuresMean Change From Baseline in Daytime Nasal Symptoms Score [Time Frame: Baseline and Week 2] [Designated as safety issue: No]Mean change from baseline in Daytime Nasal Symptoms score. Patients were asked to rate each of the 4 nasal symptoms of Congestion, Rhinorrhea, Itching, and Sneezing daily on a 4-point scale (0 (best) to 3 (worst)). The average of the 4 individual nasal symptoms scores was reported as the Daytime Nasal Symptoms Score.
Current Secondary Outcome Measures
  • Mean Change From Baseline in Nighttime Symptoms Score [Time Frame: Baseline and Week 2] [Designated as safety issue: No]Mean change from baseline in Nighttime Symptoms Score. Patients were asked to rate each symptom daily on a 4-point scale (0 (best) to 3 (worst)), and the combined score of Nasal Congestion Upon Awakening, Difficulty Going to Sleep, and Nighttime Awakenings was reported as the Nighttime Symptoms Score.
  • Change From Baseline in Composite Symptoms Score (Daytime Nasal and Nighttime Symptoms) [Time Frame: Baseline and Week 2] [Designated as safety issue: No]Composite Symptoms scores were computed as the average of the Daytime Nasal Symptoms scores and Nighttime Symptoms scores collected on a 4 point scale (0 (best) to 3 (worst)).
  • Mean Change From Baseline in Daytime Eye Symptoms Score [Time Frame: Baseline and Week 2] [Designated as safety issue: No]Mean change from baseline in Daytime Eye Symptoms scores. Patients were asked to rate each of the 4 eye symptom of tearing, itchy, red, and puffy eyes daily on a 4-point scale (0 (best) to 3 (worst)). The average of the 4 individual eye symptoms scores was reported as the Daytime Eye Symptoms Score.
  • Mean Change From Baseline in Daytime Nasal Congestion Score [Time Frame: Baseline and Week 2] [Designated as safety issue: No]Patients were asked to rate the nasal symptom of Congestion daily on a 4-point scale (0 (best) to 3 (worst)).
  • Mean Change From Baseline in Daytime Rhinorrhea Score [Time Frame: Baseline and Week 2] [Designated as safety issue: No]Patients were asked to rate the nasal symptom of Rhinorrhea daily on a 4-point scale (0 (best) to 3 (worst)).
  • Mean Change From Baseline in Daytime Nasal Itching Score [Time Frame: Baseline and Week 2] [Designated as safety issue: No]Patients were asked to rate the nasal symptom of Nasal Itching daily on a 4-point scale (0 (best) to 3 (worst)).
  • Mean Change From Baseline in Daytime Sneezing Score [Time Frame: Baseline and Week 2] [Designated as safety issue: No]Patients were asked to rate the nasal symptom of Sneezing daily on a 4-point scale (0 (best) to 3 (worst)).
  • Mean Change From Baseline in Nasal Congestion Upon Awakening [Time Frame: Baseline and Week 2] [Designated as safety issue: No]Patients were asked to rate the symptom of Nasal Congestion Upon Awakening daily on a 4-point scale (0 (best) to 3 (worst)).
  • Patient's Global Evaluation of Allergic Rhinitis [Time Frame: Week 2] [Designated as safety issue: No]An evaluation by the patient, administered at the last visit (or upon discontinuation) using a 7-point scale, of the change in symptoms as compared to the beginning of the study. Responses were assigned numerical values from 0 (very much better) to 6 (very much worse).
  • Physician's Global Evaluation of Allergic Rhinitis [Time Frame: Week 2] [Designated as safety issue: No]An evaluation by the physician, administered at the last visit (or upon discontinuation) using a 7-point scale, of the change in symptoms as compared to the beginning of the study. Responses were assigned numerical values from 0 (very much better) to 6 (very much worse).
  • Mean Change From Baseline in Rhinoconjunctivitis Quality-of-Life Score [Time Frame: Week 2] [Designated as safety issue: No]Patients completed a Rhinoconjunctivitis Quality-of-Life Questionnaire, 28 questions on a 7-point scale [0(best) to 6(worst)] across 7 domains: activities, sleep, non-nose/eye symptoms, practical problems, nasal symptoms, eye symptoms, emotional. Scores per domain were averaged, then scores for the 7 domains were averaged for an overall score.
