Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Main Objective: - to demonstrate the efficacy of a 6-week treatment by the antihistamine V0114CP 2.5 mg versus placebo in reducing symptoms during perennial allergic rhinitis.;Secondary Objective: - to evaluate the global assessment- to evaluate the clinical and biological safety of V0114CP 2.5 mg. ;Primary end point(s): evolution over the 6-week treatment period of the patient-rated instantaneous nasal symptom score NSS (sneezing, rhinorrhea, nose itching, nasal blockade) evaluated daily in the morning. -Analysis of covariance on the NSS mean daily change over 6 weeks, with baseline NSS as a covariate (main analysis) in the FAS population.-Same analysis in the PP population. | — |
