Study summary

This is first-in-human phase 1/2 clinical trial to evaluate the safety, systemic and local reactogenicity of GNR-127 at the first stage in sequential cohorts of patients with allergic rhinitis with sensitization to the birch pollen, and then to determine and evaluate an effective and safe dose of the GNR-127 after five monthly administrations compared to placebo at the second stage.

Read the detailed description

Allergic rhinitis (AR) is the most common disease in both children and adults and is a global health problem that affects approximately 400 million people worldwide. AR has a significant impact on the quality of life of patients, disrupting their sleep, physical and social activity.

AR is a disease characterized by IgE-mediated inflammation of the nasal mucosa (which develops under the influence of allergens) and the presence of at least two of the following symptoms that occur daily for an hour or more: nasal congestion (obstruction), nasal discharge (rhinorrhea), sneezing, itching in the nasal cavity. AR is often combined with other allergic diseases, such as allergic conjunctivitis, atopic dermatitis, and bronchial asthma.

The investigational product GNR-127 is a recombinant vaccine containing the ABP antigen protein, which includes the hypoallergenic peptides Bet v 1 (major birch allergen) and Mal d 1 (apple allergen), as well as the PreS protein of the hepatitis B virus as an immunogenic carrier. The drug is intended for the prevention of allergy to birch pollen - subcutaneous allergen immunotherapy (AIT) in patients suffering from AR with sensitization to birch pollen.

This study is a 'first-in-human' clinical trial and is aimed at evaluating the safety, systemic and local reactogenicity, preliminary efficacy and immunogenicity after the use of GNR-127.

This study is a two-stage study that combines phase I (Stage 1) and phase II (Stage 2) of a clinical trial.

Stage 1 (Phase I) is an open-label safety study of increasing doses of the investigational drug GNR-127 in patients with AR with sensitization to birch pollen.

Phase 1 is to evaluate the safety of three doses of GNR-127 and to determine the dose(s) to be studied in Phase 2. Patients enrolled in Phase 1 will continue to participate in the study in the appropriate dose cohort or prematurely complete their participation in the clinical study.

Phase 2 (Phase II) to be conducted as a single-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled trial. The main goal of Stage 2 is to determine the effective and safe dose of the investigational product in patients with AR with sensitization to birch pollen.

Terms in these criteria, in plain language(11)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Informed consent

Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.

You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.

BMI (body mass index)

Weight in kilograms divided by height in metres squared. Example: 70 kg and 1.75 m gives 70 ÷ (1.75 × 1.75) ≈ 22.9.

What counts as overweight or obesity differs between countries (some use lower cut-offs), so go by the range the study states.

Contraception

Ways of preventing pregnancy. “Highly effective” methods fail less than 1% of the time a year when used correctly — for example an IUD or an implant.

Criteria usually say which methods count and how long to keep using them after the last dose, sometimes for male participants too. Some studies accept a partner’s vasectomy if it was confirmed successful and that person is the participant’s only sexual partner.

Clinically significant

Judged by the study doctor to matter for your health or for the study. It is a doctor’s decision, so ask the study team if you are unsure whether something counts.

Cancer (malignancy)

Malignancy means cancer. Criteria about another or earlier malignancy ask whether you have had a different cancer, usually within a set number of years.

Some are commonly allowed, such as treated skin cancers other than melanoma and early cancers removed completely — check the exceptions this study lists.

HIV

The human immunodeficiency virus, which weakens the immune system.

Many studies now accept people whose HIV is controlled on treatment, judged by the viral load and the CD4 count. Check the limits this study sets.

Hepatitis B tests

Hepatitis B is a virus that infects the liver. These are separate tests: HBsAg positive usually means a current infection (a recent vaccination can briefly cause it too); total anti-HBc (HBcAb) positive means an infection now or in the past; HBV DNA measures how much virus is in the blood.

Some studies accept a past infection if HBV DNA is undetectable, sometimes with antiviral medicine during the study. Check what this study allows.

Hepatitis C tests

Hepatitis C is a virus that infects the liver. An HCV antibody test can stay positive after an infection has cleared (and is occasionally positive without one); an HCV RNA test shows whether the virus is there now.

After treatment, hepatitis C counts as cured when HCV RNA is still undetectable 12 weeks or more after the treatment ended. Studies often accept people cured this way.

Corticosteroids (steroids)

Anti-inflammatory medicines such as prednisone, prednisolone and dexamethasone — not the anabolic steroids used for muscle.

Studies differ in what they allow: check which steroid medicines, routes (tablets, injections, creams, inhalers, eye drops) and doses this study accepts.

Immunosuppression

A weakened immune system. It can come from an illness, such as HIV or some blood cancers, or from medicines that turn the immune system down, for example after an organ transplant or for an autoimmune disease; steroids at higher doses count.

Read whether the line is about a condition or about medicines, and which medicines and doses it means.

Hypersensitivity

An allergy, or another reaction of the immune system, to a substance. “Hypersensitivity to the study drug” means a known allergic reaction to it — not every side effect a medicine can have.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Daily Symptom Score (dSS)

    According to the dSS scale, the patient will need to assess the presence and severity of 4 symptoms of AR (itchy nose, sneezing, runny nose and nasal congestion) and 2 symptoms of AK (itchy eyes/redness of the eyes and lacrimation) on a 3-point scale, where 0 - no symptoms, 1-mild symptoms (the sign/symptom is clearly present, but causes minimal anxiety; easily tolerated), 2 - moderate symptoms (definite awareness of sign/symptom that is bothersome but tolerable), 3 - severe symptoms (sign/symptom that is hard to tolerate; causes interference with activities of daily living and/or sleeping). 4 nasal and 2 conjunctival symptoms to be assessed from 0 to 3 score each. Total (dayli) symptoms score: 0-3 (max score is 3, i.e. 18 points/divided by 6 symptoms): 0 - no symptoms, 3 - severe symptoms.

    Time frame: Up to 3 months after the end of treatment.

  2. Daily Medication Score (dMS)

    The use of the following medications that can be used to relieve symptoms of allergic rhinitis and allergic conjunctivitis will need to be evaluated by the patient * Non-sedative H1-antihistamines (H1A) for oral and / or topical use (eyes or nose) = 1 point; * Intranasal corticosteroids (InCS) with / without H1A = 2 points; * Oral corticosteroids with / without InKS, with / without H1A = 3 points. Points are not added up, and the maximum score is set. Thus, the minimum dMS value is 0 and means no need for medication, and the maximum dMS value is 3 and means the need for third-line medications).

    Time frame: Up to 3 months after the end of treatment.

  3. Combined Symptom and Medication Score (CSMS)

    The eDP automatically calculates total dSS and dMS scores based on the patient's daily scores: * The (Total) Daily Symptoms Score (dSS) is the sum of the scores for each of the symptoms and can range from 0 to 3 points * The (Total) Daily Medication Score (dMS): 0-3 (max score is 3) СSMS= dSS (0-3) + dMS (0-3) CSMS can range from 0 to 6 points, where the minimum value is 0 points and means no symptoms and no need for medication, and the maximum value is 6 points and means the maximum severity of rhinitis symptoms, despite the use of third-line medications.

    Time frame: Up to 3 months after the end of treatment.

Secondary outcomes

  1. 36-Item Short Form Health Survey (36-SF)

    The questionnaire reflects the overall well-being and degree of satisfaction with those aspects of a person's life that are affected by the state of health. The SF-36 consists of 36 questions, grouped into eight scales: Physical Functioning, Role-Physical, Bodily Pain, General Health, Vitality, Social Functioning, Role-Emotional, and Mental Health. The scores for each scale are constructed so that a higher value (from 0 to 100) indicates a more favorable health state for that particular scale.

    Time frame: Day 0, week 16 (end of treatment) and up to 3 months after the end of treatment.

  2. Severity of allergic rhinitis symptoms on a Visual-analog scale (VAS)

    VAS is a horizontal graded line 10 cm long on which the patient marks with a vertical line the assessment of the effect of AR on their well - being, expressed in points from 0 to 100 (from 0 to 10 cm), where 0 is the absence of complaints and symptoms, and 100 is the most pronounced manifestations of the disease. Results from 0 to 50 points (5 cm) indicate a controlled course of allergic AR, from 50 points and above (≥5 cm) - an uncontrolled course of AR.

    Time frame: Uo to 3 months after the end of therapy.

  3. Antibody level to the Betv1, Mald1 and PreS antigens.

    IgG, IgE, IgA, IgM antibody level to all three antigen will be assessed.

    Time frame: Day 1, week 8, week 16 and up to 3 months after the end of treatment.

  4. Percentage of the CD3+CD69+ T-cells

    Assessment of CD3+CD69+ - percentage of cells expressing the marker and geometric mean fluorescence intensity in peripheral blood cells without in vitro activation.

    Time frame: Day 1, week 8, week 16 and up to 3 months after the end of treatment.

  5. Cytokines level

    Cytokins level: IL-1β, IFNγ, IL-2, IL-4, IL-5, IL-10, IL-13 will be assessed.

    Time frame: Day 1, week 8, week 16 and up th 3 months after the end of treatment.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Sep 21, 2026, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
