| Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: average MSS Visits 5 and Visit 6 (CRF data);Primary end point(s): The primary efficacy endpoint is defined as the average of investigator’s MSS ratings [score points] at V5 and V6 (arithmetic mean of 2 ratings): Investigator rated MSS - average over V5 and V6 [score points]; CRF data Major Symptom Score [MSS] (sum of rating scores for five individual rhinosinusitis symptoms, namely rhinorrhoea = anterior and posterior, nasal congestion, headache and facial pain / pressure) assessed by the investigator (MSSINV);Main Objective: To assess the efficacy of two dosages (240 mg and 480 mg per day) of a herbal medicinal product (BNO 1016) compared with placebo in the treatment of chronic rhinosinusitis in adults. ;Secondary Objective: To assess the safety and tolerability of 240 mg and 480 mg BNO 1016 compared with placebo during the 12-week treatment phase and the 8-week follow-up observation period. | — |
