Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Main Objective: to assess the efficacy and safety of treatment with sublingual specific immunotherapy (antiallergic vaccination) with allergoid monomeric ragweed (Ambrosia LAIS) in three different doses in patients with rhinoconjunctivitis to ragweed pollen;Secondary Objective: to document the safety of treatment with LAIS Ambrosia (incidence of adverse events);Primary end point(s): The efficacy of immunotherapy with sublingual tablets allergoid LAIS Ambrosia will be assessed through the measurement of individual variation in specific nasal provocation test (NPT) performed with Ambrosia Allerkin;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: - basal assesment before the randomization (same day of the first IMP administration) | — |
