Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Change from Baseline in objective cough frequency in the 8 hours after the first dose of the day (i.e., Dose 1) on the 1st day of treatment of each study period [ Time Frame: Baseline (i.e., Days -1 and 22) and the 1st day of treatment (i.e., Days 1 and 23) of each study period ]
    Assessment of number of coughs per hour to be evaluated using a digital recording device


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Change from Baseline in awake cough frequency [ Time Frame: Baseline (i.e., Days -1 and 22), the 1st day of treatment (i.e., Days 1 and 23) and the 14th day of treatment (i.e., Days 14 and 36) of each study period ]
    Assessment of awake coughs per hour (average hourly cough frequency while the participant is awake based on sound recordings), to be evaluated using a digital recording device

  2. Change from Baseline in Cough Severity Visual Analog Scale (VAS) score [ Time Frame: Baseline (i.e., Days -1 and 22), the 1st day of treatment (i.e., Days 1 and 23) and the 14th day of treatment (i.e., Days 14 and 36) of each study period ]
    Cough Severity is determined through the use of a 100 mm visual analogue scale (VAS) (ranging between 0 for "no cough" and 100 for "worst cough").

  3. Incidence (percent of participants) of treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) [ Time Frame: From first dose of study drug (i.e., Dose 1 on Day 1) to follow-up visit (i.e., Day 50, included) ]
    TEAEs are defined as those AEs (i.e., a new event or an exacerbation of a pre-existing condition) occurring on or after the first study dosing (i.e., Dose 1 on Day 1).

  4. Incidence (percent of participants) of serious adverse events (SAEs) [ Time Frame: From screening visit (i.e., Days -21 to -2) to follow-up visit (i.e., Day 50, included) ]
    An SAE is an adverse events occurring during any study phase and that fulfils one or more of the following: results in death, is life-threatening, requires patient hospitalization or results in prolongation of existing hospitalization, results in persistent or significant disability/incapacity, is a significant or important medical event, or is a congenital anomaly/birth defect in the offspring of a subject who received study drug.
