Efficacy and Safety of PQ Grass in Subjects With Seasonal Allergic Rhinitis and/or Rhinoconjunctivitis...
Seasonal Allergic RhinitisRhinoconjunctivitisThe PQGrass306 (G306) clinical trial is the pivotal Phase III efficacy clinical trial of PQ Grass. The aim of the G306 pivotal clinical trial is to confirm the efficacy and safety of the optimal effective dose of PQ Grass 27600 SU. This will be determined through the measurements of the effect of PQ Grass on the symptoms of seasonal allergic rhinitis (SAR)/rhinoconjunctivitis and the use of relief medications to control these symptoms during the peak grass pollen season (GPS).
Intralymphatic Immunotherapy With Polvac Grass & Rye Allergen Extract
RhinitisAllergic6 moreThe primary goal is to investigate the efficacy of intralymphatic immunotherapy (ILIT) for the treatment of allergic rhinitis and allergic asthma due to sensitisation to grass pollen allergens. 60 patients with allergic rhinitis will be included and randomized to receive either Polvac (n=30) or placebo (n=30). All patients will receive three injections with 4-8 weeks interval. The injections into a inguinal lymph node is guided by sonography. Patients will record symptoms and medication use in the summer of 2022 and 2023.
Grass Pollen Immunotherapy Plus Dupilumab for Tolerance Induction
Allergic RhinoconjunctivitisGrass Pollen AllergyThe primary objective of this study is to assess whether the combination of grass allergen sublingual immunotherapy (SLIT) and dupilumab for 2 years is more effective than double placebo in suppressing the nasal allergen challenge (NAC) response to grass pollen at 1 year after completion of study medication.
Safety and Efficacy of STALORAL® Birch 300 IR in a Paediatric Population With Birch Pollen-induced...
Allergic RhinoconjunctivitisBirch Pollen AllergyAllergic rhinoconjunctivitis due to birch pollen is a seasonal problem which manifests as a combination of nasal symptoms (such as congestion, runny nose, sneezing, itching of the nose) and ocular symptoms (such as red, itchy and watery eyes). For several birch-allergic patients, allergic rhinoconjunctivitis occurs with an oral allergy syndrome. The purpose of this study is to demonstrate the safety and efficacy of the study drug (STALORAL Birch 300 IR) in children and adolescents with birch pollen-induced allergic rhinoconjunctivitis, with or without asthma, when treated before and during the pollen season. Approximately 699 children will participate in this study. The study will be conducted worldwide in approximately 100 medical sites in about 14 countries. The total duration of the study will be approximately 20 months.
A Motivation-enhancing App to Retain Patients With Hay Fever in a Trial After Treatment
Grass Pollen AllergyRhinoconjunctivitisThe motivation-enhancing intervention is designed for participants in the ILIT.NU trial. The participants are patients with hay fever who are treated with a vaccination in an inguinal lymph node. The motivation-enhancing intervention is a web-based app developed in collaboration with patient partners and is intended to increase retention and reporting in the ILIT.NU trial.

The NAPT will take place before, during and after AIT to evaluate the cost and effectiveness of the treatment. The study consists of 4 visits and 2 telephone contacts that are repeated annually for 3 years. This study will be conducted in 2 hospitals: UZ Leuven and AZ ST.

Immunological Analysis of Lymph Node Tissue After Intralymphatic Immunotherapy: A Prospective Case...
HypersensitivityHay Fever4 moreAllergy is a public health problem as more than 20% of western society is affected by it. Symptomatic treatment of allergy suffices with less severe allergy. Patients with more severe allergy should be treated with allergen immunotherapy (AIT). Present options of AIT are efficient but of long duration, associated with side effects and require much time from the patient. With Intralymphatic immunotherapy (ILIT), allergen is injected into the lymph node under ultrasound guidance. ILIT is complete after 3 treatment visits, may be more effective than and may have markedly fewer side effects than presently available methods of AIT. The investigators plan a randomized, parallel group, open-label, prospective case-control study to assess immunological changes in lymph node and peripheral blood after intralymphatic (ILIT) or subcutaneous (SCIT) immunotherapy with POLVAC. The intervention consists of one ultrasound-guided injection of allergen into inguinal lymph node or subcutaneous injection 1 cm next to the lymph node. Intervention quality (accuracy of injection) will be assessed by the administering physician during treatment and via video recording on the ultrasound device. Side effects associated with treatment will be recorded by the patients for 3 days after the injection. The effect of intralymphatic or subcutaneous injection on lymph node tissue and immunoglobulins E and G4 in serum as well as cellular analyses of lymph node tissue and peripheral blood will be determined in samples taken during the trial. The primary effect parameter is the effect of a single intralymphatic allergen injection on immunological parameters as well as allergen delivery to the lymph node as compared with a single subcutaneous injection.
