Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: Mean change of anaphylaxis symptom scores (ASC, considered weighted symptoms of the organ systems (CASC) and if necessary use of an additional medicinal anaphylaxis therapy, DASC) evaluated from baseline to endpoint after 20 minutes (for the FA (Full-Analysis-) population) ;Secondary Objective: • epinephrine plasma levels 10 minutes after the start of study medication application and changes to baseline levels determination at t1a • ASC and change from baseline (T1b) to all acquisition times (5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 40, 50, 60 min.) • ASC single core values, sum of clinical score values (CASC), sum of additional anaphylaxis therapy score values (DASC) and change from baseline (T1b) to all detection times • Application of an additional drug therapy for the treatment of anaphylactic reactions • AEs, SAEs and side effects ;Primary end point(s): Primary endpoint Mean change of anaphylaxis symptom scores (ASC, considered weighted symptoms of the organ systems (CASC) and any necessary use of an additional medicinal anaphylaxis therapy, DASC) evaluated from baseline to endpoint after 20 minutes (for the FA (Full-Analysis-) population). ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: after 20 minutes

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary end point(s): • epinephrine plasma levels 10 minutes after the application of the IMP and changes to baseline levels determination in t1a • ASC and change from baseline (T1b) to all detection times (5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 40, 50, 60 min.) • ASC single core values sum of clinical score values (CASC), sum of additional anaphylaxis therapy score values (DASC) and change from baseline (T1b) to all detection times • Application of an additional drug therapy for the treatment of anaphylactic reactions • AEs, SAEs and side effects ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: • epinephrine plasma levels 10 minutes after the application of the IMP and changes to baseline levels determination in t1a • ASC and change from baseline (T1b) to all detection times (5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 40, 50, 60 min.) • ASC single core values sum of clinical score values (CASC), sum of additional anaphylaxis therapy score values (DASC) and change from baseline (T1b) to all detection times • Application of an additional drug therapy for the treatment of anaphylactic reactions • AEs, SAEs and side effects
