| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Secondary Objective: The secondary objective is to perform the in vitro characterization of the internal reference preparation from Subject's serum, to determine their in vitro biological potency and to guarantee the consistency of the biological potency of the product batch by batch.;Primary end point(s): Wheal size area (mm2) on the skin at the site of the puncture during the immediate phase.;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: The primary endpoint will be determined after the last patient last visit(end of study).;Main Objective: The primary objective is to assess the concentration of alternaria alternata allergen extract that elicits a wheal size equivalent to that of a 10 mg/ml histamine dyhidrochloride solution. | — |
