简要总结
The aim of the study is to investigate the long-term effect of a lozenge containing beta-lactoglobulin (BLG), iron, retinoic acid, zinc and polyphenols (holo-BLG) in people with allergic rhinoconjunctivitis caused by house dust mites and the associated symptoms (symptom type and severity) during exposure to house dust mites in an Allergen Exposure Chamber (AEC).
In particular, the study aims to evaluate whether the improvements in symptoms of house dust mite-induced rhinoconjunctivitis observed after 3 months of supplementation with holo-BLG can still be detected 7 to 8 months after the last intake.

结局指标
主要结局
TNSS
时间窗: After 120 minutes of allergen challenge
Total Nasal Symptom Score (TNSS) in response to HDM exposure in an AEC at V1 (baseline AEC exposure) versus V5 (follow-up AEC exposure). The TNSS is the sum of 4 nose symptoms (runny nose, sneezing, itchy nose, and blocked nose) on a scale of 0 to 3 (no symptoms, mild symptoms, moderate symptoms, and severe symptoms), leading to a maximum TNSS of 12.
次要结局

- VAS(Recorded at time zero (0) and every 30 minutes during exposure until 120 minutes)
- Adverse events with regards to the allergen exposure(up to 24 hours after AEC exposure)
- PEF(Recorded at time zero (0) and every 30 minutes during allergen exposure up to 120 minutes)
- FEV1(Recorded at time zero (0) and 120 minutes)
- FEV1/FVC(Recorded at time zero (0) and 120 minutes)
- rescue medication and/or emergency treatment(during and up to 24 hours after AEC exposure)
- TESS(Up to 120 minutes following allergen challenge)
- PNIF(Recorded at time zero (0) and every 30 minutes during allergen exposure up to 120 minutes)
- TSS(Up to 120 minutes following allergen challenge)
