    E.5 End points
    E.5.1Primary end point(s)
    To assess the efficacy of sublingual immunotherapy with the allergoid LAIS® Ragweed Sublingual tablets (between the visits V2 and V3, corresponding to the expected ragweed pollen exposition period).
    The ragweed season is defined as beginning on the first of 3 consecutive recorded days with pollen count ≥10 grains/m3 and ending on the last day of the last occurrence of 3 consecutive days with pollen count ≥10 grains/m3. The analysis will be focused on the pollen peak defined as the 15 consecutive recorded days within the ragweed season with the highest 15-day moving average pollen count for each site. Pollen regions will be defined according to pollen stations and included sites within an acceptable distance from pollen counters (counters were within approximately 50 miles from the subject's home).

    The efficacy analysis will be based on the assessment of a “Total Combined Score (TCS)“ for the peak pollen season taking into account:

    •Total Rhino-conjunctivitis Symptom Score (TRSS), of the six rhino-conjunctivitis symptoms sneezing, rhinorrhea, nasal pruritus, nasal congestion, ocular pruritus/redness and watery eyes.
    •Total Rescue Medication Score (TRMS), taking into account the use of oral antihistamines, antihistamine eye drops, nasal corticosteroids and oral/systemic corticosteroids.

    The Total Combined symptoms-medication Score (TCS), calculated as: TCS = TRSS + TRMS (maximum score 36), of the pollen peak of the first pollen season will be the primary outcome
    Valutare l'efficacia dell'immunoterapia sublinguale con l'allergoide LAIS®Ambrosia compresse sublinguali (tra le visite V2 e V3, in corrispondenza del periodo previsto di esposizione al polline di ambrosia).
    La stagione dell'ambrosia è definita come il periodo che ha inizio il primo di 3 giorni consecutivi nei quali viene registrata una conta pollinica ≥10 granuli/m3 e che termina l'ultimo giorno dell'ultima occorrenza di 3 giorni consecutivi con una conta pollinica ≥10 granuli/m3. L'analisi si concentrerà sul picco di polline, definito come i 15 giorni consecutivi registrati nella stagione dell'ambrosia con la più elevata conta pollinica media mobile a 15 giorni per ciascun sito. Le regioni del polline saranno definite in base alle stazioni di polline e includeranno i siti ubicati ad una distanza accettabile dai contatori di polline (i contatori sono situati nel raggio di circa 50 km dal domicilio del soggetto).

    L'analisi di efficacia si baserà sulla valutazione di un "punteggio totale combinato (TCS)" per l'alta stagione del polline, tenendo conto di quanto segue:

    •il punteggio totale dei sintomi della rinocongiuntivite (TRSS) per i sei sintomi della rinocongiuntivite: starnuti, rinorrea, prurito nasale, congestione nasale, rossore/prurito oculare e lacrimazione degli occhi.
    •il punteggio totale del farmaco di soccorso (TRMS), prendendo in considerazione l'uso di antistaminici orali, colliri antistaminici, corticosteroidi nasali e corticosteroidi orali/sistemici.

    L'esito primario sarà il punteggio totale combinato sintomi-farmaci di soccorso (TCS), calcolato come TCS = TRSS + TRMS (punteggio massimo pari a 36), del picco del polline della prima stagione del polline.

    E.5.2Secondary end point(s)
    To assess the efficacy of a sublingual immunotherapy with the allergoid LAIS® Ragweed Sublingual tablets related to:
    •The Total combined score (TCS) for the entire pollen season (entire diary-compiling period) of the year.
    •Six individual symptom scores of the Rhinoconjunctivitis Symptom Score (TRSS) for the period V2-V3 during the 15-days peak and the entire diary-compiling period.
    •The Total Rhinoconjunctivitis Symptom Score (TRSS) for the period V2-V3 during the 15-days peak and the entire diary-compiling period.
    •The Total Rescue Medication Score (TRMS) for the period V2-V3 during the 15-days peak and the entire diary-compiling period.
    •The number of well days, defined as days along the entire pollen season without intake of rescue medication and symptom score of 2 or less. The “hell days” are defined as days with TRSS ≥ 10 and additional use of rescue medication.
    •Patients’ global evaluation: in order to permit a computation of a responder analysis, the rhinoconjuntivitis symptoms were globally evaluated at the end of the treatment period, by asking subjects the following question “Compared to your symptoms in previous ragweed seasons, how have you felt overall in this ragweed pollen season?” with possible response categories: much better-better-the same-worse-much worse (to be analysed as: much better, or better= improved; the same, worse, much worse= not improved).
    •Visual analogue scale (VAS), filled in by patient, to assess the subjective overall wellbeing related to the allergic condition at the beginning and at the end of treatment period.
    •Patients’ Quality of Life (Rhinoconjunctivitis Quality of Life Questionnaire-RQLQ) for the period V2-V3 will be evaluated before and at the end of the ragweed pollen season. [http://www.qoltech.co.uk/questionnaires.htm]
    •Ragweed specific (Amb a1) IgE, and IgG4 serum levels and total IgE levels at the beginning (V0) and at the end of the pollen season (V3) i.e. the end of the study.
    •To document the safety of the treatment by the physical examinations, the description of the adverse events (frequency, intensity, severity and duration of adverse events) during the treatment with LAIS® Ragweed Sublingual tablets.
    Valutare l'efficacia dell'immunoterapia sublinguale con l'allergoide LAIS® Ambrosia compresse sublinguali in termini di:
    •Punteggio totale combinato (TCS) per tutta la stagione annuale del polline (intero periodo di compilazione del diario).
    •Sei punteggi dei sintomi individuali del punteggio dei sintomi della rinocongiuntivite (RSS) per il periodo V2-V3 durante il picco di 15 giorni e l'intero periodo di compilazione del diario.

    •Punteggio totale del farmaco di soccorso (TRMS) per il periodo V2-V3 durante il picco di 15 giorni e l'intero periodo di compilazione del diario.
    •Numero di giorni positivi, definiti come i giorni nel corso dell'intera stagione del polline in cui non sono stati assunti farmaci di soccorso e il punteggio dei sintomi è stato pari o inferiore a 2. "Giorni infernali", definiti come i giorni con TRSS ≥10 e nei quali è stato necessario l'uso aggiuntivo di farmaci di soccorso.
    •Valutazione complessiva dei pazienti: per consentire il calcolo di un'analisi dei responder, i sintomi della rinocongiuntivite saranno valutati complessivamente al termine del periodo di trattamento ponendo ai soggetti la seguente domanda: "Rispetto ai sintomi da Lei sperimentati nelle precedenti stagioni dell'ambrosia, come si è sentito/a complessivamente in questa stagione del polline di ambrosia?"; le possibili categorie di risposta saranno le seguenti: molto meglio-meglio-uguale-peggio-molto peggio (da analizzare come: "molto meglio" o "meglio" = miglioramento; "uguale", "peggio" e "molto peggio" = assenza di miglioramento).
    •Scala visuo-analogica (VAS), compilata dal/dalla paziente, volta a valutare il benessere generale soggettivo legato alla condizione allergica all'inizio e alla fine del periodo di trattamento.
    •Qualità della vita dei pazienti (Questionario sulla qualità della vita per la rinocongiuntivite, RQLQ) per il periodo V2-V3, la quale sarà valutata prima dell'inizio e al termine della stagione del polline di ambrosia. [http://www.qoltech.co.uk/questionnaires.htm]
    •Livelli sierici delle IgE, IgG1 e IgG4 specifiche per l'ambrosia (Amb a1) e livelli totali di IgE all'inizio (V0) e alla fine della stagione del polline (V3), ovvero al termine dello studio.
