Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: • To demonstrate superiority of BLX-028914 50 mg/day to placebo regarding the efficacy on total nasal symptoms 10 min after allergen challenge on treatment days 11 - 13;Secondary Objective: • To evaluate the efficacy of BLX-028914 50 and 15 mg/day on nasal symptoms, treatment days 11-13 compared to placebo • To evaluate the efficacy of BLX-028914 50 and 15 mg/day on peak nasal inspiratory flow (PNIF), treatment days 11-13 compared to placebo • To evaluate the effects of BLX-028914, 50 and 15 mg/day on nasal mucosal inflammatory respons treatment on day 14, compared to placebo (as assessed by a2-macroglobulin, eosinophil cationic protein (ECP) and tryptase levels in nasal lavage) • To evaluate the safety and tolerability of treatment with BLX-028914 ;Primary end point(s): Post allergen challenge TNSS, day 11 - 13: The mean of the TNSS collected 10 min after allergen challenge on treatment days 11, 12 and 13.
