E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
To assess the efficacy of four different doses of CLUSTOID® D. pteronyssinus compared to placebo. The primary efficacy endpoint is defined as percentage of patients with an increased dosing step needed to provoke a positive response in the titrated nasal provocation test (tNPT) post-treatment compared with pre-treatment (i. e. any improvement) in each of the five trial groups. |
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
To assess the tolerability and safety of four different doses of CLUSTOID® D. pteronyssinus compared to placebo by occurrence of treatment-related adverse events. |
|
E.2.3 | Trial contains a sub-study | No |
E.3 | Principal inclusion criteria |
• Signed and dated patient's informed consent obtained prior to any study specific examination • Female or male patients aged 18-65 at the time of informed consent • History of allergic rhinitis / rhinoconjunctivitis due to house dust mites with or without well controlled asthma according to GINA guideline (Global Initiative for Asthma, 2017) for at least 1 year • Sensitization to Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus, verified by: - positive skin prick test (wheal diameter ≥ 3 mm and negative control < 2 mm and positive (histamine) control ≥ 3 mm) and - Serum specific IgE ≥ 0.7 kU/L (CAP EAST class ≥ 2) and - positive response to nasal provocation with D. pteronyssinus allergen extract • Assumed compliance and ability of the patient to follow the instructions of the study staff
|
|
E.4 | Principal exclusion criteria |
