    General information about the trial
    Main objective of the trial
    The main objective of this therapeutic phase II trial was to evaluate the safety and tolerability of an accelerated high dose escalation schedule with one strength for allergen immunotherapy with Allergovit® 6-Grasses compared to the standard escalation schedule with two strengths. Children and adolescents with rhinitis or rhinoconjunctivitis caused by grass pollen, with or without allergic asthma on a well controlled level, will be enrolled. The trial consisted of a dose escalation phase (T1 to T3) for the accelerated dose escalation (One Strength) or (T1 to T7) for the standard dose escalation (Standard). Maintenance treatment phase T4-T5 (One Strength) and T8-T9 (Standard), and a follow-up phase of 30 days after the last IMP (final visit [FV]). The whole treatment duration (escalation phase + maintenance phase) lasted for approx. 9 weeks and 13 weeks, respectively, for the two treatment groups. Data are presented as subgroups: children and adolescents per treatment group.
    Protection of trial subjects
    The study was conducted in accordance with the ethical principles that have their origin in the Declaration of Helsinki and are consistent with the International Conference on Harmonization of technical requirements for registration of pharmaceuticals for human use (ICH) guidance for Good Clinical Practice (GCP) and the applicable regulatory requirements. Data Safety Monitoring Board (DSMB ) was in place throughout the trial; DSMB consisted of 3 independent physicians, experienced in the field of allergy. The primary function of the DSMB was to ensure the subjects’ safety. The DSMB team reviewed an update of the safety data from all treated subjects. After each administration of the IMP, each subject in the study was kept under supervision of a qualified and trained investigator for at least 30 min (in accordance with the country-specific trial protocol: 30 min in Russia and Spain, 120 min in Germany and Poland). Safety evaluation during supervision after IMP administration consisted of: FEV1, Systolic BP, Diastolic BP, Heart rate (Pulse rate), Respiratory rate. Other than routine care, no specific measures were implemented for the protection of trial subjects.
    Background therapy
    There was no background therapy planned in this study. Concomitant medication was defined as any medication other than the IMP that was taken during the clinical trial. Any relevant medication taken before entering the clinical trial was considered as “previous medication”. All anti-allergic medication administered in the last 2 years and other medication used during the last 6 weeks prior to enrollment to the study had to be documented at the screening visit. Medication against rhinitis and rhinoconjunctivitis was permitted, but had to be documented as concomitant medication. Patients with bronchial asthma who required regular basic treatment of their allergic asthma were treated as recommended by GINA (GINA, 2017) to control their asthma. Any asthma medication, including medication for seasonal asthma, that had been prescribed in the previous season had to be documented as concomitant medication. Restricted medication and nonpermitted medications were clearly defined in the study protocol.

    End point description
    An adverse event (AE) was defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a patient or clinical investigation subject administered a pharmaceutical product and which did not necessarily have a causal relationship with this treatment. An AE could be any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of an IMP, whether or not related to the IMP. A treatment emergent adverse event (TEAE) was defined as any AE that started or worsened after the first intake of trial medication until 30 days after the last IMP administration or trial-related procedure. Results in the table below summarize the number of subjects affected by a TEAE; the number of the respective events (n) is also shown. The TEAEs (as System Organ Class and as Preferred Term) are listed under the section 'Adverse events'.

    7_Vital signs - Heart rate (Pulse rate)
    End point description
    Vital signs (BP, heart rate, resp. rate) were assessed at: screening, during treatment visits / any unscheduled visit, and at the final visit. Vital signs are summarized by a representative parameter Heart rate (Pulse rate). Results are shown as the change from pre- to 30 min post administration of IMP on the first- (T1), last escalation dose visit (T3/T7), and last maintenance visit (T5/T9). Laboratory parameters measured (at the Screening and Final visit): • Clin. chem: creatinine, total bilirubin, asp. aminotransferase, ala. aminotransferase, gamma-glutamyltransferase • Blood sugar: Glucose (fasting or non-fasting; status assessed for decision on in-/exclusion of patient) • Hematol: differential blood cell count, hemoglobin (RBC), leukocytes, platelets • Urinalysis: protein, glucose, blood (hemoglobin), leukocytes, beta-human chorionic gonadotropin (females of childbearing potential) There were no clinically relevant differences seen between the treatment groups.

    8_Lung function test - FEV1
    End point description
    Subjects had to demonstrate FEV1 of at least 70% of predicted normal ranges before IMP injection, otherwise no injection was given and the visit was rescheduled. If the FEV1 decreased after injection compared to the value measured before injection, the investigator checked if an AE had to be documented and adequate medical treatment initiated. An FEV1 decrease of ≥ 20% after injection as compared to the value measured before injection, was documented as an AE. Results shown are representative for the study visits at the first escalation dose visit (T1), at the last escalation dose visit (T3/T7), and at the last maintenance dose visit (T5/T9); before and 30 min after injection of IMP. The number of subjects contributing to the data at each visit is also shown. Neither for children nor for adolescents systematic differences were detected between groups.

    End point description
    According to the study inclusion criteria, all patients had IgE-mediated seasonal allergic rhinitis or rhinoconjunctivitis (with or without allergic asthma), caused by grass pollen. Changes in grass-pollens pecific IgG4 antibody concentrations provide valuable information and evidence for the immunogenic activity of the active preparation. Changes in IgG4 were analyzed as an exploratory parameter. The results (shown as changes from baseline) indicate that the mean concentration of IgG4 against P. pratense (Timothy grass) pollen increased notably over time in both treatment groups (p-value < 0.0001). The number of subjects contributing to the data is also shown.

    Substantial protocol amendments (globally)

    Were there any global substantial amendments to the protocol? Yes
    Date
    Amendment
    23 Jan 2019
    Screening phase: postponed, treatment phase: postponed. This amendment was submitted in Germany, Poland, and Russia (all on 23 Jan 2019). There were country-specific differences in postponement time: Germany (23 Jan 2019), after trial start: screening phase: postponed by 1 month; treatment phase: postponed by 1 month. Poland (23 Jan 2019), prior to trial start: screening phase: postponed by 4 months; treatment phase: postponed by 5 months. Russia (23 Jan 2019), prior to trial start: screening phase: postponed by 4 months; treatment phase: postponed by 4 months.
    24 Jun 2019
    Substantial amendment regarding the adaptation of sample size was submitted to all Competent Authorities and Independent Ethics Committees (Germany, Poland, Russia, Spain), in September 2019. The date on which this amendment was submitted to the Competent Authorities (September 2019) is after the end of the trial (i.e. after LPLV = 25 Jun 2019). However, due to technical set-up of the EudraCT database, which would generate an error message during the validation process, the date of this substantial amendment is set here to 24-Jun-2019 (i.e. one day before the LPLV of this study).
