- Change From Baseline in Average AM/PM PRIOR Nasal Congestion Score Over 15 Days [ Time Frame: 15 days of treatment ]Nasal congestion was scored on a scale of 0 = none, 1 = mild, 2 = moderate, 3 = severe. PRIOR (the subject's status over the previous 12 hours [reflective]). Baseline is the average score from the 3 days prior to the first dose of study drug.
- Change From Baseline in Average AM/PM PRIOR Total Nasal Symptom Score Over 15 Days [ Time Frame: 15 days of treatment ]Total nasal symptom score (TNSS) is a composite of 4 symptoms, each is scored on a scale of 0 = none, 1 = mild, 2 = moderate, 3 = severe. The total can range from 0 to 12. PRIOR (the subject's status over the previous 12 hours [reflective]). Baseline is the average score from the 3 days prior to the first dose of study drug.
