About this study
Official title: A Confirmatory Study of TAU-284 in Pediatric Patients With Perennial Allergic Rhinitis (A Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled Study)
The objectives of this study are: to confirm the superiority of TAU-284 over placebo after two weeks of administration to pediatric patients with perennial allergic rhinitis, and to investigate the dose response, safety, and plasma concentrations of TAU-284.
Read the detailed description
This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, 3-arm parallel-group comparative study to confirm the superiority of TAU-284 over placebo after two weeks of administration of TAU-284 (10 mg/day or 20 mg/day) or placebo to pediatric patients with perennial allergic rhinitis, with "the change from baseline in total nasal symptom score (total score for the three major nasal symptoms [sneezing, rhinorrhea, and nasal congestion])" as the primary endpoint; and to investigate the dose response, safety, and plasma concentrations of TAU-284.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Change From Baseline in Total Score for the Three Major Nasal Symptoms [Sneezing, Rhinorrhea, and Nasal Congestion] (at Final Evaluation)
Total score for the three major nasal symptoms (sneezing, rhinorrhea, and nasal congestion) were rated on 4-point scale ranging from 0 (no symptoms) to 3 (severe) .
Measured: Baseline and Week 2
Secondary outcomes (6)
Change From Baseline in Total Score for the Three Major Nasal Symptoms [Sneezing, Rhinorrhea, and Nasal Congestion]
Measured: Week 2
Change From Baseline in Individual Nasal Symptom Scores (Sneezing, Rhinorrhea, Nasal Congestion, and Impairment in Daily Activities)
Measured: Week 2
Change From Baseline in Individual Scores for Local Nasal Findings (Rhinoscopic Findings)
Measured: Week 2
Change From Baseline in Severity Score
Measured: Week 2
Adverse Events and Adverse Drug Reactions
Measured: Week 2
Plasma Concentrations of Unchanged TAU-284 (Bepotastine Besilate) (at a Total of 3 Time Points, i.e., Before and 2 (±1) Hours After Study-drug Administration at Week 1 and Before Study-drug Administration at Week 2)
Measured: Week 2
