E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
Determination of the tolerability and safety by local and systemic reactions of different SUBLIVAC FIX Mite mixture dosages during 1 month of treatment in patients with HDM induced allergic rhinitis/rhinoconjunctivitis in comparison with placebo |
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
•Safety determined by reported adverse events during 1 month of SUBLIVAC FIX Mite mixture treatment compared to placebo.
• Safety determined by clinical and laboratory parameters assessed after 1 month of SUBLIVAC FIX Mite mixture treatment compared to placebo.
• Immunogenic activity determined by changes in serum specific immunoglobulin levels (IgE, IgG, IgG4) compared to screening assessed after 1 month of SUBLIVAC FIX Mite mixture treatment compared to placebo.
• Determine the proportion of patients in the different treatment groups reaching maintenance dose within 10 days |

4. Completed unsuccessful allergen-specific immunotherapy (SCIT or SLIT) within the last 5 years
5. Allergen-specific immunotherapy (SCIT or SLIT) with other allergens than HDM during the study period
6. Any other vaccination one week before start of treatment and during the up-dosing phase
7. Any anti-IgE therapy within the last 6 months prior to inclusion and during study
8. Active inflammatory disease in the mouth (e.g periodontitis, oral mucosal lichen planus)
9. Known hypersensitivity to any of the excipients (i.e. Disodium phosphate dihydrate, Sodium dihydrogen phosphate dihydrate, Aminocaproic acid, Glycerol, Peppermint oil, Caramel Colorant) of SLIT solution
10. Severe immune disorders (including auto-immune diseases) and/or diseases requiring immunosuppressive drugs
11. Active malignancies or any malignant disease in the last 5 years
12. A chronic or acute disease that in the opinion of the investigator might place the patient at an additional risk, including but not limited to the following: cardiovascular
insufficiency, any severe or unstable lung diseases, endocrine disorders, clinically significant renal or hepatic diseases, or haematological disorders
13. Diseases with a contra-indication for the use of adrenaline (e.g. hyperthyroidism, glaucoma)
14. Use of systemic corticosteroids 4 weeks before start treatment
15. Treatment with systemic or local b-blockers
16. Clinically significant chronic sinusitis or ocular infection
17. Participation in a clinical study with a new investigational drug within the last 3 months or a biological within the last 6 months prior to the study or during the study
18. Pregnancy, lactation or inadequate contraceptive measures (acceptable forms of birth control include Intrauterine devices or hormonal contraception (oral contraceptive pills, implants, transdermal patches, vaginal rings or long-acting injections) or condom combined with a diaphragm including spermicidal cream. Also acceptable for women is surgical sterilization (removal of the uterus or ovaries or tubal ligation (”tied tubes”)), if they are postmenopausal (12 consecutive months without a period) for at least 2 years or having no sexual relationship with a man.
19. Alcohol, drug, or medication abuse within the past year and during the study
20. Any lack of co-operation or compliance
