Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to assess the tolerability of AVANZ.

Detailed Description

To assess the tolerability of the up-dosing phase of AVANZ Phleum pratense. The frequency of patients with adverse reactions will be the study primary endpoint.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Frequency of Subjects With Adverse Drug Reactions6 weeks

Frequency of patients with adverse reactions, local or systemic

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Change in Phleum Pratense Specific IgE-blocking Factorbaseline (visit 1) and at 6 weeks (visit 6)

IgE-blocking factor measures the amount of IgE bound to the allergen in the presence of allergen-competing factors present in the serum of a subject treated with allergen immunotherapy. The test is based in a double IgE measurement, an ordinary assay and an assay in the presence of competing components and takes the form of:

IgE blocking factor = 1 - (Competitive IgE/Ordinary IgE). Theoretical limits are from 0 (no IgE blocked) to 1 (all IgE blocked) and, being a ratio, is a dimensionless measure

Frequency of Subjects With Systemic Reactions6 weeks

Frequency of patients with systemic reactions, based on EAACI classification: Grade I (mild systemic reaction) to IV (anaphylactic shock)

Frequency of Subjects With Local Adverse Reaction6 weeks

Frequency of patients with local adverse reactions

Change in Phleum Pratense Specific IgG4baseline (visit 1) and at 6 weeks (visit 6)
Change in Immediate Cutaneous Response to Phleum Pratensebaseline (visit 1) and at 6 weeks (visit 6)

Wheal size provoked after prick test with 4, 20 and 100 µg/ml Phl p 5 allergen extracts analysed by Parallel Line Assay. Cutaneous Tolerance Index (CTI) is the factor it is necessary to multiply the extract concentration by after SCIT (V6) to obtain the same response in terms of wheal area as at baseline (V1). CTI, being an index, is a dimensionless measure. A CTI of 1 indicates no change in skin sensitivity while if higher than 1 a decrease in skin sensitivity (it would be needed a more concentrated allergen extract at V6 to elicit the same skin response as at V1
