Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Main Objective: To identify changes in immunological markers measured in grass allergic subjects during treatment with Grazax.;Secondary Objective: To identify changes in immunological markers occurring at early time points during immunotherapy treatment. To identify markers which correlate with safety parameters. To identify markers which correlate with perceived efficacy as assessed by a visual analogical scale (VAS).;Primary end point(s): Immunological markers: Pre to post treatment change in immunological markers and differences versus placebo.;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: The control time is defined as: Visit 8 (2 years after treatment initiation) | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Secondary end point(s): Pre to 1 month treatment changes in immunological markers. Group comparison in changes in immunological markers in relation to (systemic) adverse reactions and VAS. Safety endpoints: Frequency of: AEs and SAEs. ESIs Vital signs;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: 1, 4, 9, 12, 21, 24, 25, 28, 33 and 36 months after treatment initiation. | — |
