Prospective, Multicentre, Doubleblind, Placebo-controlled RCT to Evaluate Efficacy and Safety With SC Immunotherapy in Patients With Rhinitis/Rhinoconjunctivitis With or Without Mild to Moderate Asthma Sensitised to Grasses and Cupressaceae
A Randomized, Double-Blinded, Placebo-Controlled, Prospective, Multicenter Clinical Trial to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of Subcutaneous Immunotherapy in Patients With Rhinitis/Rhinoconjunctivitis With or Without Mild to Moderate Asthma Sensitized to cupressaceae and grasses.
• Written informed consent.
• Aged between 12 and 65, both genders
• Positive suggestive clinical history of intermittent or persistent moderate to severe rhinitis /rhinoconjunctivitis according to ARIA classification, with or without moderate intermittent or persistent asthma,according to GEMA 5.0, due to grass and cupressaceae pollen.
• Subjects with a positive skin prick-test (wheal size \>5 mm diameter) to a standardized mixed extract of grass pollen (Phleum pratense, Holcus lanatus, Dactylis glomerata, Poa pratensis, Festuca elatior, Lolium perenne) or to one of the molecular components of the mixture and to a cupressaceae extract. In addition, the largest diameter of the papules must be greater than or equal to that of the histamine.
• Specific IgE \> 3,5 KU/L , against grass (preferably Phleum pratense) and cupressaceae pollen (InmunoCAP® o Immulite).
• Women of childbearing age (from menarche) must present a urine pregnancy test with a negative result at the time of joining the trial.
• Women of childbearing potential participating in the trial, should commit to using an appropriate method of contraception. Medically acceptable methods of contraception are intrauterine devices placed at least 3 months in advance, surgical sterilization (for example, tubal ligation), barrier methods, or the use of oral contraceptives.
• Subjects capable of complying with the dosing regimen.
• Subjects who own a smartphone for symptom registration and medication.
⁃ Subjects with a negative prick test to coestational pollens. In the case specific IgE is available, the result should be \<3,5 kU/L and without relevant symptomatology
⁃ Subjects with a negative prick test to other aeroallergens (dust mites, epitheliums and fungus). In the case specific IgE is available, the result should be \<3,5 kU/L and without relevant symptomatology.
