| Main Objective: To assess the efficacy of a subcutaneous cluster immunotherapy with cluster-allergoid CLUSTOID® on a total combined score (TCS), taking into account a rhinoconjunctivitis total symptom score (RTSS) of the six rhinoconjunctivitis symptoms sneezing, rhinorrhea, nasal pruritus, nasal congestion, ocular pruritus and watery eyes and a total rescue medication score (TRMS), considering the use of cromone eye drops, oral antihistamines, nasal corticosteroids and leukotriene antagonists.;Secondary Objective: To assess the efficacy of a subcutaneous cluster immunotherapy with cluster-allergoid CLUSTOID® on the rhinoconjunctivitis symptom scores (RSS) sneezing, rhinorrhea, nasal pruritus, nasal congestion, ocular pruritus and watery eyes for the peak of the grass and rye pollen season and the global evaluation carried out by the patient for the total grass and rye pollen season and to document and assess the safety of the treatment. ;Primary end point(s): The efficacy is to be evaluated by assessing the mean in the total combined score (TCS), taking into account the RTSS and the TMRS, during the peak pollen season. | — |
