Study to Assess Safety and Effectiveness of Subcutaneous Allergy Shots for Rhinitis and Mild to Moderate Asthma Caused by Cupressaceae and Grass Pollens in Ages 12 to 65

What this Trial Is About

Researchers are evaluating the safety and effectiveness of subcutaneous immunotherapy in patients aged 12 to 65 who have rhinitis or rhinoconjunctivitis, with or without mild to moderate asthma, and who are sensitive to cupressaceae and grass pollen. This phase 3, multicenter, randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled trial aims to better understand treatment options for allergy symptoms related to these pollens. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of three groups two groups receiving different doses of a purified and polymerized allergen extract from grasses and cupressaceae mixed with aluminum hydroxide, and one placebo group receiving a similar solution without active ingredients. The treatment will be given by subcutaneous injections and will last for 18 months. The study will monitor symptoms and medication use during the specific pollen seasons for cupressaceae January to March and grasses May to June. Throughout the trial, participants will record their symptoms and medication intake using an electronic diary via a smartphone. Researchers will assess combined symptom and medication scores as the primary outcome, along with various secondary measures such as symptom-free days, medication-free days, asthma and rhinitis symptom scores, quality of life, immunological parameters, and safety. The total participation time for each subject is 18 months, during which their health and response to treatment will be closely monitored.
