Age •12 years of age and older at Visit 2
Male or eligible female Female subjects should not be enrolled if they plan to become pregnant during the time of study participation. To be eligible for entry into the study, females of childbearing potential must commit to the consistent and correct use of an acceptable method of birth control, as defined by the following: •Abstinence Females of childbearing potential who are not sexually active must commit to complete abstinence from intercourse for two weeks before exposure to the study drug, throughout the clinical trial, and for a period after the trial to account for elimination of the drug (minimum of six days). •Oral contraceptive (either combined estrogen/progestin or progestin only) •Injectable progestogen •Implants of levonorgestrel •Percutaneous contraceptive patches •Intrauterine device (IUD) or intrauterine system (IUS) with a documented failure rate of less than 1% per year, •Male partner who is sterile (vasectomy with documentation of azoospermia) prior to the female subject's entry into the study and is the sole sexual partner for that female subject, or •Double barrier method-condom or occlusive cap (diaphragm or cervical /vault caps) plus Spermicide, •Estrogenic vaginal ring. A urine pregnancy test will be done at the screening visit to confirm females of childbearing potential are not pregnant upon entry into the study. In addition, urine pregnancy tests will be done for all females of childbearing potential at each clinic visit.
Diagnosis of PAR to include: A positive skin test (by prick method) response to appropriate perennial allergen (house dust mites, animal dander, mold, or cockroach) within last 12 months prior to Visit 1 or at Visit 1. A positive skin test is defined as a wheal ³3mm larger than the diluent control for prick testing. •Two year medical history and past treatment of PAR (written or verbal confirmation) which includes perennial, i.e., year-round, symptoms. PAR symptoms could include nasal congestion, rhinorrhea, nasal itching and sneezing. In vitro tests for specific IgE (such as RAST, PRIST) will not be allowed for the diagnosis of PAR. NOTE: Subjects who meet the above criteria and who also may have seasonal allergic rhinitis (SAR) and/or perennial non-allergic rhinitis (PNAR) are eligible for randomization.
Environment •Subject must be symptomatic to appropriate perennial allergen (animal dander, house dust mites, cockroach, mold) and willing to maintain, as much as possible, the same environment throughout the study.
- Subjects meeting any of the following criteria must not be enrolled in the study:
- Use of immunosuppressive medications 8 weeks prior to screening and during the study

- Chickenpox or measles A subject is not eligible if he/she currently has chickenpox or measles, or has been exposed to chickenpox or measles during the last three weeks and is non-immune. If a subject develops chickenpox or measles during the study, he/she will be withdrawn from the study. If a non-immune subject is exposed to chickenpox or measles during the study, his/her continuation in the study will be at the discretion of the investigator, taking into consideration the likelihood of developing active disease.
