Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Secondary Objective: 1. To evaluate the time required to obtain a positive Abelson score in both subjects groups during an allergen exposure in ALYATEC environmental chamber. 2. To evaluate the onset of conjunctival symptoms during an allergen exposure in ALYATEC environmental chamber. 3. To appreciate the correlation between the dose of allergen required to induce a positive conjunctival provocation unitary test and the dose required to induce a conjunctival response, during an exposure to birch pollen allergen in ALYATEC environmental chamber. ;Main Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of NAABAK® compared to FLUCON®, assessed by the measure of the amount of major birch pollen allergen required to trigger a conjunctival response in subjects presenting moderate symptoms of allergic conjunctivitis caused by birch pollen.;Primary end point(s): • Allergen quantity needed to induce a positive conjunctival response (Abelson score = 5). ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: At Expo 1 (D1 + D2) and at Expo 2 (D1 + D2) | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Secondary end point(s): 1. Time to reach a positive conjunctival response (Abelson score = 5) in both treatments groups 2. Evaluation of the onset of conjunctival symptoms during birch allergens exposures (Abelson score by physician, TOSS and conjunctivitis VAS) 3. Correlation between the the dose of allergen required to induce a positive conjunctival provocation unitary test and the dose required to induce a conjunctival response in the EEC 4. Safety : VEMS measurements;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: - Abelson score, TOSS and conjunctivitis VAS : every 10 minutes during the first hour, then every 20 minutes for the next 3 hours - VEMS measurements : every 30 minutes during exposures | — |
