Brief Summary:
The objective of this trial is to assess the clinical efficacy of a modified allergen extract of Olea europaea pollen in the treatment of patients affected by allergic rhinitis/rhinoconjunctivitis (with or without episodic asthma) induced by hypersensitivity to olea europaea pollen, evaluating the Score regarding Symptoms and consumption of the medication.

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
Rhinitis or Rhinoconjunctivitis With or Without Asthma Induced by Hypersensitivity to Olea Europea Pollen Biological: Immunotherapy with modified extract of Olea europaea pollen Biological: Placebo Phase 3

Detailed Description:
Immunotherapy is a specific treatment for allergic diseases. Unlike conventional pharmacological treatment, immunotherapy is the only treatment that could modify the natural course of allergic disease. This is a prospective double-blind placebo-controlled study with two arms of treatment: placebo and active.

Ages Eligible for Study:   18 Years to 55 Years   (Adult)
Sexes Eligible for Study:   All
Accepts Healthy Volunteers:   No
Criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Prior to study specific examinations the patient and if applicable both legal guardians has to give his/her written informed consent
  • Patients of both gender aged from 18 and 55 years
  • Patient`s perception of disease activity of at least 30 mm on a 100 mm visual analogue scale (VAS)
  • FEV1 greater or equal than 80% of the expected value, and if not, improvement of FEV1 greater than 12% after bronchodilation
  • Patients have to suffer from allergic complaints (rhinitis and/or rhinoconjunctivitis with or without mild intermittent allergic asthma) caused by clinical sensitization against Olea europaea pollen. The IgE mediated sensitization has to be verified by:
  • Suggestive medical history
  • Specific IgE against Olea europaea pollen CAP RAST ≥0.7Ku/l
  • Positive skin prick test (SPT) to grass Olea pollen resulting in a wheal diameter of at least 3 mm.

Exclusion Criteria

  • History of significant clinical manifestations of allergy as a result of sensitization against weed pollen allergens and perennial (e.g. house dust mite.
  • Participation in an immunotherapy with comparable extracts within the last five years.
  • Treatment with β-blocker
  • Any disease which prohibits the use of adrenaline (e.g. hyperthyroidism)
  • Cardiovascular insufficiency or any severe or unstable pulmonary, or endocrine disease; clinically significant renal or hepatic disease or dysfunction; hematologic disorder; any other clinically significant medical condition that could increase the risk to the study participant
  • Immunopathological diseases
  • Patients who are expected to be non-compliant and/or not co-operative
  • Women, where pregnancy is defined as the state of a female after conception and until the termination of gestation
