Clinical trials

The European Union Clinical Trials Register   allows you to search for protocol and results information on:
  • interventional clinical trials that were approved in the European Union (EU)/European Economic Area (EEA) under the Clinical Trials Directive 2001/20/EC
  • clinical trials conducted outside the EU/EEA that are linked to European paediatric-medicine development

  • EU/EEA interventional clinical trials approved under or transitioned to the Clinical Trial Regulation 536/2014 are publicly accessible through the
    Clinical Trials Information System (CTIS).


    The EU Clinical Trials Register currently displays   43867   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7287   are clinical trials conducted with subjects less than 18 years old.   The register also displays information on   18700   older paediatric trials (in scope of Article 45 of the Paediatric Regulation (EC) No 1901/2006).

    Phase 1 trials conducted solely on adults and that are not part of an agreed paediatric investigation plan (PIP) are not publicly available (see Frequently Asked Questions ).

    General information about the trial
    Main objective of the trial
    To compare the efficacy of the SQ tree sublingual immunotherapy (SLIT)-tablet to placebo in the treatment of moderate to severe allergic rhinitis and/or conjunctivitis (AR/C) induced by pollen from birch and trees belonging to the birch homologous group in children and adolescents (5 through 17 years of age) based on the average allergic rhinoconjunctivitis daily total combined score (TCS*) during the birch pollen season (BPS). *TCS = daily symptoms score (DSS) + daily medication score (DMS)
    Protection of trial subjects
    Safety surveillance. Access to rescue/reliever medication.
    Background therapy
    AR/C rescue medication: Subjects were provided with rescue medication (antihistamine/nasal corticosteroid) to relieve AR/C symptoms. The rescue medication was provided before the start of the tree pollen season and could be used as needed in accordance with the label. The subjects were instructed to start with antihistamine and continue with nasal corticosteroids only if antihistamine could not alleviate the symptoms. Asthma rescue medication: Prior to start of tree pollen season, subjects with a diagnosis of asthma were provided with short-acting β2-agonist (SABA), which was to be used when necessary and in accordance with the label. Subjects who were taking low or medium daily dose inhaled corticosteriods (ICS) alone or in combination with long-acting β2-agonist (LABA) for asthma management were allowed to continue with the same medications during the trial. Subjects had to be on a stable regimen (daily dose unchanged) for at least 4 weeks before randomisation.

    Subjects were instructed that IMP should preferably be taken in the morning and that food and beverages should not be taken for 5 minutes after intake of IMP. The tablet should be placed under the tongue and swallowing should be avoided for approximately 1 minute. When the first dose was administered at site, the subject was under medical supervision for 30 minutes after the tablet intake.

    Average total combined score (TCS) during the birch pollen season (BPS)
    End point description
    The primary endpoint of the trial was the average total combined rhinoconjunctivitis symptoms and medication score (TCS) during the birch pollen season (BPS). The average TCS evaluates the treatment effect based on reduction in daily rhinoconjunctivitis symptoms and medication use (on a scale of 0-38). Higher scores indicate more severe symptoms and/or more medication use. The primary estimand for the endpoint was the trial product estimand. The trial product estimand assesses the anticipated effect of the SQ tree SLIT-tablet if it is taken as instructed.

The square root transformed endpoint was analysed in an LME model with treatment, cohort, and age-group as fixed effects, and pollen station within cohort as a random effect with different residual errors specified for each treatment group. Back-transformation was used to estimate the absolute difference. Adjusted p-value.
