Volunteers: No Healthy Volunteers

Inclusion criteria

1. Diagnosis of AR, as determined by the presence of rhinitis symptoms that last for several months per year, for more than 1 year and are not attributed to allergy, infections or nasal abnormalities.

2. TNSS score of >=4 following screening allergen challenge chamber.

3. Positive skin prick test for seasonal pollen

4. Positive RAST for seasonal pollen
