The AM pre-dose iTNSS is the sum of the 4 individual nasal symptom score assessments for rhinorrhea, nasal congestion, nasal itching, and sneezing performed at the moment immediately prior to taking the daily dose; each individual symptom score ranged on a scale of 0 to 3 where 0 indicated healthy condition and 3 indicated severity of the symptoms. The total score ranged on a scale of 0 to 12 where 0 indicated healthy condition and 12 indicated worst condition of symptoms. Baseline iTNSS is defined as the average of the non-missing values for iTNSS during the Baseline period where the Baseline period included the randomization day and the 3 consecutive days prior to randomization. Change from Baseline was calculated as score over the entire treatment period minus Baseline value. Analysis was performed using ANCOVA, adjusting for Baseline value, country, age, and gender. Only those participants available at the specified time points were analyzed.

Response to therapy is defined as the effectiveness of FF for relieving allergic rhinitis symptoms over the entire treatment period.
