Brief Summary

In this clinical trial, the efficacy of Codonopsis lanceolata extract for the improvement of the hypersensitive immune response in subjects with allergic rhinitis was evaluated in terms of the difference between the test group and the control (placebo group). Among the primary efficacy endpoints, significant differences were observed between the experimental group and the control (placebo group) in B cell. In other words, in the test group, which was taken 8 times, the decrease in B cell of immune factors was significantly lower than that of the control group. There were no adverse events during the study period, and there were no significant clinical trial results in other safety endpoints. The results of this study confirmed the safety and efficacy of the Codonopsis lanceolata extract for improvement of hypersensitivity immunity of allergic rhintis.
