Mean change from baseline in total symptom severity complex (TSSC) scores in patients with SAR1

†Based on main effects models for intent-to-treat population. Week 2 was designated as the primary endpoint. Endpoint = last post-baseline observation. ‡P < 0.01; §P < 0.001.
Adapted from Noonan, et al.
The TSSC score includes:
Sneezing
Runny nose
Itchy nose
Itchy eyes
Watery eyes
Post-nasal drip
Change from baseline to Week 2 in individual SAR symptoms
REACTINE® provided symptom relief from watery eyes as well as relief of sneezing, runny nose, and itchy nose vs placebo1
Multicenter study included 403 patients with SAR, symptoms based on a 4-point scale (0=none to 3=severe)
Significant differences were observed for each individual symptom compromising the TSSC with the exception of nasal congestion at Week 2
Mean change from baseline (with the exception of nasal congestion) to Week 2 showed significantly greater improvement in patients treated with REACTINE® compared with patients treated with placebo (P≦0.01).
