In the third National Health and Nutrition Examination Surveys54.3% of the population had positive test responses to one or more allergens, with the prevalence for short ragweed being 26.2% The purpose of this observational follow-on study is to further evaluate rhinoconjunctivitis symptoms on exposure to ragweed allergen in the EEC among subjects who completed all dosing visits and the post treatment challenge (PTC) visit in study TR002 approximately one year after the start of treatment.
