| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Secondary Objective: -To evaluate the effect of inmunotherapy with Alternaria alternata 1 on: -others markers as inflammation markers and oxidative stress markers (pH, hydrogen peroxide) -bronchial responsiveness to methacholine -respiratory functional parameters (VEMS,FVC, FEV1/FVC, FEF25-75) -seric cytocines ;Primary end point(s): -Efficacy determinants: AMP concentration that induces a FEV1 deterioration of 20% (PC20) and exhaled nitric oxide concentrations. -Safety: clinical evaluations and monitoring of adverse effects. ;Main Objective: -To evaluate the effects of inmunotherapy with Alternaria alternata 1 on AMP bronchial answer and his increments, in asthmatic patients and in patients with allergenic rhinitis sensitized to this allergen. -To identificated the effects of inmunotherapy with Alternaria alternata 1 on exhaled nitric oxide concentrations and on increments of this inflammation marker due to the allergen natural exposition, in asthmatic patients and in patients with allergenic rhinitis sensitized to this micotic allergen. | — |
