| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Main Objective: Comparison of two updosing schedules with respect to the pharmacodynamic efficacy regarding changes from baseline in spec. IgE-blocking factor against Phleum pratense after seven injections of the IMP (ALK-Flex SQ);Primary end point(s): Changes from baseline in specific IgE-blocking factor measured 1 week after the 7th injection will be the only primary endpoint of this study. Equivalence of the updosing schedules Group 1 and Group 2 will be tested with a prespecified equivalence margin.;Secondary Objective: To compare both groups with respect to incidences of delayed systemic adverse events (1-24 hrs) in Group 1 and Group 2 classified as 'urticaria' and/or 'asthma' according to EAACI. To compare both groups with respect to incidences of early adverse events (0-60 min) in Group 1 and Group 2, graduated according to EAACI and classified according to MedDRA version 11.0. To compare both groups with respect to changes from baseline in spec. IgG4 against Phleum pratense 1 week after the 7th injection of the IMP (ALK-Flex SQ). To compare both groups with respect to changes from baseline in spec. IgE against Phleum pratense 1 week after the 7th injection of the IMP (ALK-Flex SQ). | — |
