Trial Outcomes & Findings for Efficacy Study of a Preseasonal Treatment With AllerT in Subjects With Birch Pollen Allergy (NCT NCT01720251)

NCT ID: NCT01720251

Last Updated: 2015-04-13

Results Overview

The efficacy analysis will be performed on the symptom and medication data collected from the first day of the birch pollen season as defined by pollen counts in the air in each site region (from March to May 2013 depending on site region), to 42 days later or to the end of the pollen season, whichever comes first. The scale range is from 0 to 3. Lower is the the RSMS value, better is the efficacy as this implies that lower is the symptoms and concomitant medication intake by the patient The RSMS includes 2 subscales : the Rhinoconjunctivitis Symptom Score (RSS) with a range of values from 0 to 3 and the Rhinoconjunctivitis Medication Score Score (RMS) with also a range of values from 0 to 3 The RSMS is the sum of the RSS and RMS divided by 2

Outcome measures

Outcome data not reported

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: from start of treatment to 28 days after completion of treatment, i.e. for approximately 12 weeks

Adverse events will be collected throughout the trial period and will be reported as Treatment emergent adverse events occurring between start of treatment and 28 days after completion of treatment for each subject

Outcome measures

Outcome data not reported

OTHER_PRE_SPECIFIED outcome

Timeframe: before treatment, 4 weeks after the last injection and 2 weeks before, at the peak time and within 2 weeks after the end of the expected birch pollen season 2013

blood samples will be drawn at the above time points to measure immunological markers: specific IgE and IgG4
