About this trial

This is an interventional diagnostic trial for Hayfever focused on measuring Nasal allergen challenge, Allergic rhinitis, Timothy grass pollen, inflammatory mediators

Eligibility Criteria

18 Years - 40 Years (Adult)All SexesAccepts Healthy Volunteers

Inclusion Criteria: Male and female subjects with a history of seasonal (intermittent) atopic rhinitis, aged 18-40 years. Otherwise healthy with no health problems that may jeopardize the subjects participating in the study, absence of history of other significant allergies. Exclusion Criteria: Smokers (use of tobacco products in the previous 3 months). Presence of any respiratory disease other than a history of mild stable asthma not requiring treatment and associated with normal lung function (FEV1 > 80% predicted at screening).

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
This is a non-drug, biomarker study to assess the utility of the model of repeated nasal allergen challenges in subjects with atopic rhinitis as a method of inducing an increased response to inhaled allergen, which will more closely resemble the responses seen during the hayfever season.
