研究概览
简要总结
The study will evaluate the dose response of immunotherapy against grass pollen allergy using the recombinant grass pollen vaccine BM32. Efficacy will be analyzed by:
- skin prick testing
- grass pollen inhalation challenge
- antibody responses. In addition, the safety of subcutaneous application of BM32 will be evaluated.
