5. Non smokers for at least the past 12 months with a pack history ≤ 1 pack years (Pack years = (n of cigarettes smoked/day/20) x n of years smoked).
6. An increase in nasal symptom score of between 4 and 10 following screening nasal allergen challenge.
7. Capable of giving informed consent, which includes compliance with the requirements and restrictions listed in the consent form.
8. Available to complete the study.
9. Negative urinary drugs of abuse screen, determined at screening and in the 24 hours before the first dose of study medication.
