Study summary

The objective of this trial is to evaluate the clinical effectiveness of the administration of a depigmented and polymerized allergen extract of Phleum pratense in the rhinoconjunctivitis and/or asthma of slight or moderate intensity, due to allergy to grass pollen.

Read the detailed description

Immunotherapy is a specific treatment for allergic diseases. Unlike conventional pharmacological treatment, immunotherapy is the only treatment that could modify the natural course of allergic disease. This is a prospective double-blind placebo controlled study with three arms of treatment: placebo and two active (one of the active arms will receive a dose that is 10x the dose of the other arm).
