| Official Title: | A Randomised, Double-Blind, Parallel Group, Multicentre Study to Assess the Efficacy and Safety of Four Concentrations of Depigoid® Phleum in Patients With Allergic Rhinitis and/or Rhinoconjunctivitis With or Without Intermittent Asthma |
- Conjunctival Provocation Test (CPT) [ Time Frame: At screening and after approx. 22 weeks (EoS) ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
Comparison between dosage groups: percentage of patients who need an increased amount of allergen to provoke a positive CPT at the end of the treatment (comparison slope of efficacy). It is expected that at the end of the study higher doses are necessary to provoke a positive CPT.
According to the EMA "Guideline on clinical development of products for specific immunotherapy for the treatment of allergic diseases" provocation tests are accepted as primary outcomes for dose-finding studies.
- Conjunctival Provocation Test (CPT) [ Time Frame: after approx. 22 weeks (EoS) ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]Analysis of individual results for allergen amount
- Overall assessment of safety (tolerability) at the end of the study [ Time Frame: after approx. 22 weeks (EoS) ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
At the end of the study investigator and patient will give their general overall impression on the safety of the study treatment on a 4-point scale (excellent, good, moderated, unacceptable).
Results will be compared between dosage groups
- Number of Participants with Adverse Events as a Measure of Safety and Tolerability [ Time Frame: at 4-weekly intervals (retrospectively at study visits) ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
AEs are recorded at the study visits (patients are questioned and the patient diary - where specific allergic symptoms should be recorded by the patients during 48hrs after each injection of IMP - is assessed by the investigator and AEs recorded in the CRF if applicable) and at any time of the study when site becomes aware of an Ae/SAE.
AE/SAE rate is compared between treatment groups (safety profile. Also rates of local and systemic reactions will be calculated.
- Patient diary: Allergy specific symptoms and concommitant medication (rescue m.) for 48hrs after application of IMP [ Time Frame: 48hrs every 4 weeks after each application of IMP ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
Symptoms: - at injection site, - of the skin (not injection site), - of the nose, - of the eyes, - of the lung/respiratory system, other symptoms Symptoms documented in the diary will be judged and assessed by the investigator and - if applicable - transcribed as AE into the CRF.
Medication: Antihistaminics (eye drops, nose spray or tablet), Sultanol, oral corticosteroid and intake of other medication documented in the diary are to be transcribed to the CRF

Detailed Description:
This is a dose finding study and no therapeutic study. Patients will receive in 4-weekly intervals 6x 0,5mL of one of 4 different concentrations of Depigoid Phleum. The study is performed outside the pollen season. Thus the aim of the study is not the therapeutic effect of the specific immunotherapy (effect on allergy specific symptoms during the pollen season) but the effect on the Conjunctival provocation test (CPT). According to the EMA "Guideline on clinical development of products for specific immunotherapy for the treatment of allergic diseases" provocation tests are accepted as primary outcomes for dose-finding studies.
For the CPT increasing doses of Phleum pollen solutions are applied to the eye and characteristic symptoms (eye redness, weeping, itching or burning, and nose dripping/blockage) are assessed at each concentration: 0=absent, 1=mild, 2=moderate, 3=severe. At a score value of >=5/concentration the test is considered positive and finished.
It is expected that at the end of the study higher doses are necessary to provoke a positive CPT.
Furthermore comparative evaluation of the safety data (AEs) in the different dosage groups is a very important parameter for the evaluation of the outcome of the study.
