- Change from baseline in Total Nasal Symptom Score (3TNSS) after 120 to 180 minutes in an exposure chamber [ Time Frame: 4, 8 and 12 Weeks after vaccination ]The 3TNSS is the total of the 3 individual nasal symptom scores for sneezing, nasal discharge and nasal congestion. Baseline is pre-exposure.
- 3 Total Nasal Symptom Score (3TNSS) after 180 minutes in an exposure chamber [ Time Frame: Up to 12 Weeks after last vaccination ]The 3TNSS is the total of the 3 individual nasal symptom scores for sneezing, nasal discharge and nasal congestion.
- 4 Total Nasal Symptom Score (4TNSS) after 180 minutes in an exposure chamber [ Time Frame: Up to 12 Weeks after last vaccination ]The 4TNSS is the total of the 4 individual nasal symptom scores for sneezing, nasal discharge, nasal congestion and itchy nose.
- Nasal Symptom Score for sneezing after 180 minutes in an exposure chamber [ Time Frame: Up to 12 Weeks after last vaccination ]Sneezing will be evaluated as nasal symptom.
- Nasal Symptom Score for nasal discharge after 180 minutes in an exposure chamber [ Time Frame: Up to 12 Weeks after last vaccination ]Nasal discharge will be evaluated as nasal symptom.
- Nasal Symptom Score for nasal congestion after 180 minutes in an exposure chamber [ Time Frame: Up to 12 Weeks after last vaccination ]Nasal congestion will be evaluated as nasal symptom.
- Nasal Symptom Score for itchy nose after 180 minutes in an exposure chamber [ Time Frame: Up to 12 Weeks after last vaccination ]Itchy nose will be evaluated as nasal symptom.
- Total Eye Symptom Score to 180 minutes in an exposure chamber [ Time Frame: Up to 12 Weeks after last vaccination ]Total eye symptom score is the total of the 2 individual eye symptom scores for itchy eyes and watery eyes.
- Eye Symptom Score for itchy eyes after 180 minutes in an exposure chamber [ Time Frame: Up to 12 Weeks after last vaccination ]Itchy eyes will be evaluated as eye symptom.
- Eye Symptom Score for watery eyes after 180 minutes in an exposure chamber [ Time Frame: Up to 12 Weeks after last vaccination ]Watery eyes will be evaluated as eye symptom.
- Total Nasal and Eye Symptom Score after 180 minutes in an exposure chamber [ Time Frame: Up to 12 Weeks after last vaccination ]This score is the total of the 3TNSS and the total eye symptom score.
- Time to the onset of nasal or eye symptoms from the start of pollen exposure in an exposure chamber [ Time Frame: Up to 12 Weeks after last vaccination ]The onset time of nasal or eye symptom will be evaluated as pollinosis symptom.
- Amount of nasal discharge measured every 30 minutes during pollen exposure in an exposure chamber [ Time Frame: Up to 12 Weeks after last vaccination ]Amount of nasal discharge will be evaluated as nasal symptom.
- Frequency of sneezing measured every 30 minutes during pollen exposure in an exposure chamber [ Time Frame: Up to 12 Weeks after last vaccination ]Frequency of sneezing will be evaluated as nasal symptom.
- Safety assessed by incidence of adverse events [ Time Frame: Up to 10 months ]Adverse events will be coded using MedDRA. An adverse event with onset at any time from the time of informed consent until 13 weeks after last vaccination.
- Safety assessed by standard 12-lead electrocardiogram [ Time Frame: Up to 10 months ]After the subject has been resting comfortably in a supine position, ECGs will be recorded with the subject in the supine position.
- Safety assessed by vital signs: Body temperature [ Time Frame: Up to 10 months ]Body temperature will be measured in an axilla.
- Safety assessed by vital signs: Sitting blood pressure [ Time Frame: Up to 10 months ]Blood pressure will be measured in a sitting position.
- Safety assessed by vital signs: Sitting pulse rate [ Time Frame: Up to 10 months ]Pulse rate will be measured in a sitting position.
- Safety assessed by laboratory tests: Hematology [ Time Frame: Up to 10 months ]For quantitative laboratory measurements descriptive statistics will be used to summarize results and change from baseline by treatment group and time point.
- Safety assessed by laboratory tests: Biochemistry [ Time Frame: Up to 10 months ]For quantitative laboratory measurements descriptive statistics will be used to summarize results and change from baseline by treatment group and time point.
- Safety assessed by laboratory tests: Urinalysis [ Time Frame: Up to 10 months ]For qualitative laboratory measurements descriptive statistics will be used to summarize results and change from baseline by treatment group and time point.
- Safety assessed by serious adverse events reported up to 12 months after the last vaccination (long-term safety follow-up) [ Time Frame: Up to 12 months after the last vaccination ]Adverse events will be coded using MedDRA. An adverse event with onset at any time from 13 weeks until 12 months after last vaccination.
