Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: To induce protective immunomodulation (increase of allergen-specific IgG, IgG4, TGFb, IL10) in children with IgE-sensitization to house dust mite without allergic disease manifestation at the age of 4 years ;Secondary Objective: a) to prevent the development of new IgE-sensitizations b) to prevent the development of clinical symptoms of allergy ;Primary end point(s): Primary efficacy: Induction of immunomodulatory effects (allergen-specific IgG and IgG4 and TGFb and IL10) by house dust mite specific immunotherapy in 4 year old children with house dust mite IgE sensitisation without allergic disease;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Evaluation of the primary end point parameter will be assessed: a) at treatment start t0 b) one and 2 years after treatment start t12 and t24 c) 2 years after treatment stop t48

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary end point(s): Secondary Efficacy: a) development of new IgE-sensitizations b) development of clinical symptoms of allergy ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Evaluation of the secondary end point parameter will be assessed: a) at treatment start t0 b) one and 2 years after treatment start t12 and t24 c) 2 years after treatment stop t48
