Significant concomitant medical conditions, defined as but not limited to: a). A historical or current evidence of clinically significant uncontrolled disease of any body system (e.g., tuberculosis, psychological disorders, eczema), which in the opinion of the investigator, would put the safety of the subject at risk through study participation or which would confound the interpretation of the study results if the disease/condition exacerbated during the study. b). a severe physical obstruction of the nose (e.g., deviated septum or nasal polyp) or nasal septal perforation that could affect the deposition of double blind intranasal study drug c). eye or nose (e.g., nasal septum) surgery in the last 3 months d). asthma, with the exception of mild intermittent asthma, [NAEPP Guidelines, 2002 & GINA, 2003]. e). rhinitis medicamentosa f). bacterial or viral infection (e.g., common cold) of the eyes or upper respiratory tract within one week of Visit 1 or during the screening period g). documented evidence of acute or significant chronic sinusitis, as determined by the individual investigator h). current or history of glaucoma and/or cataracts or ocular herpes simplex i). physical impairment that would affect subject’s ability to participate in the study j). clinical evidence of a Candida infection of the nose or oropharynx k). if the subject or his/her parent or legal guardian has a condition that will limit the validity of informed consent or that would confound the interpretation of the study results l). history of adrenal insufficiency or adrenal disorders m). Chickenpox or measles: A subject is not eligible if he/she currently has chickenpox or measles, or has been exposed to chickenpox or measles during the last 3 weeks and is non-immune. 2.

No exclusion period prior to screening (Visit 1) is required for these treatments. 5.

| Main Objective: The primary objectives of this study are to compare the safety and efficacy of GW685698X aqueous nasal spray 50mcg and 100mcg once daily with vehicle placebo nasal spray over a period of 12 weeks and to determine the optimal dose in paediatric subjects ages 2 to <12 years with PAR.;Secondary Objective: The other objective of this study is to characterize the systemic exposure to GW685698X within the doses under study in paediatric subjects ages 2 to <12 years with PAR over a period of 12 weeks.;Primary end point(s): The primary efficacy endpoint will be the mean change from baseline over the first 4- week treatment period in daily, reflective total nasal symptom scores (rTNSS) in subjects ages 6 to <12 years. The total nasal symptom score (TNSS) is the sum of the 4 individual symptom scores for rhinorrhea, nasal congestion, nasal itching and sneezing where each symptom is scored on a scale of 0 to 3. The rTNSS is a rating of the severity of symptoms over the previous 12 hours and is performed in the AM (AM rTNSS) and PM (PM rTNSS). The daily rTNSS is the average of the AM rTNSS and PM rTNSS assessments. The baseline score is defined as the average of the daily rTNSS over the 4 consecutive 24-hour periods prior to randomization, including the assessment the morning of randomization prior to study drug administration. | — |
