Further study details as provided by EMS:

Primary Outcome Measures:
  • Efficacy of treatment in persistent allergic rhinitis based on nasal symptoms score [ Time Frame: 7 days ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
    The mean variability of nasal symptoms score observed between visit 1 and visit 2 will be used as the primary endpoint of clinical efficacy.


Secondary Outcome Measures:
  • Safety will be evaluated by the adverse events occurrences [ Time Frame: 7 days ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
    Adverse events will be collected and followed in order to evaluate safety and tolerability


Estimated Enrollment: 234
