Brief summary
The purpose of this study is to assess safety, tolerability and demonstrate a dose response signal using Total Symptom Score (TSS), based on challenges with grass pollen in an Environmental Exposure Chamber (EEC), followed by estimation of the minimum effective dose of SUBLIVAC FIX Phleum (SP) after 10 months of treatment compared to placebo. The study has 4 treatment groups: 3 different doses of SP and placebo will be tested.
Detailed description
The current dose range finding study with SP has been designed to test three different concentrations of SUBLIVAC FIX Phleum (SP) that includes 3 doses (10,000 AUN/mL; 40,000 AUN/mL; 80,000 AUN/mL) and placebo to demonstrate a dose response signal and to estimate the minimal effective dose of SP. The study will be conducted in the target population of seasonal allergic subjects in a fully validated Environmental Exposure Chamber (EEC) system. The EEC system is a facility that has temporal uniformity of airborne allergen (pollen) exposure to subjects. Use of the EEC ensures exposure to relatively consistent levels of allergen. This facility has been used in a number of immunotherapy trials and is an improved challenge model of AR compared to the previously used nasal provocation test. Treatment duration of this study is extended to 10 months.

| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Mean Total Symptom Score (TSS) After 10 Months of Treatment (Visit 6) Compared to Placebo | 10 months after treatment start (baseline - Visit 2) | The primary endpoint was the TSS after 10 months of treatment (at visit 6). The mean TSS at visit 6 was calculated as an average of all non-missing TSS scores between 1 and 6 hours after start of Environmental Exposure Chamber (EEC) challenge at visit 6. TSS was computed as the sum of individual scores for eight nasal and non-nasal symptoms (rhinorrhea, congestion, sneezing, itchiness, itchy/gritty eyes, tearing/watery eyes, red/burning eyes, and ear/palate itching). Each of eight symptoms was rated on a scale of 0-3 as follows: 0, none; 1, mild; 2, moderate; 3, severe. The range of TSS is from 0 to 24 units on a scale. The highest the score, the more severe symptoms a subject experiences. Negative change of TSS between baseline and visit 6 was expected (reduced symptoms), more negative change at visit 6 versus baseline represents better outcome of the study. |

Subjects that did not complete at least 75% of their diary data, and subjects who have been on holidays outside the region for more than 7 days during the actual grass pollen season will be excluded from the analysis. The daily CSMS will be computed according to the definition given by the EAACI Position Paper.

Outcome results
Primary
Mean Total Symptom Score (TSS) After 10 Months of Treatment (Visit 6) Compared to Placebo
The primary endpoint was the TSS after 10 months of treatment (at visit 6). The mean TSS at visit 6 was calculated as an average of all non-missing TSS scores between 1 and 6 hours after start of Environmental Exposure Chamber (EEC) challenge at visit 6. TSS was computed as the sum of individual scores for eight nasal and non-nasal symptoms (rhinorrhea, congestion, sneezing, itchiness, itchy/gritty eyes, tearing/watery eyes, red/burning eyes, and ear/palate itching). Each of eight symptoms was rated on a scale of 0-3 as follows: 0, none; 1, mild; 2, moderate; 3, severe. The range of TSS is from 0 to 24 units on a scale. The highest the score, the more severe symptoms a subject experiences. Negative change of TSS between baseline and visit 6 was expected (reduced symptoms), more negative change at visit 6 versus baseline represents better outcome of the study.
Time frame: 10 months after treatment start (baseline - Visit 2)
Population: The Intention-to-Treat population (ITT) includes all randomized subjects who received at least one dose of the study drug and for whom at least one post-baseline measurement for the primary efficacy endpoint was available.

Time frame: 5 and 10 months after treatment start compared to first day of treatment (IgE at baseline measured at Visit 2, before IMP administration)
Population: The Intention-to-Treat population (ITT) consists of all randomized subjects who received at least one dose of the study drug and for whom at least one post-baseline measurement for the primary efficacy endpoint was available.

Mean Combined Symptom and Medication Scores (CSMS) During the Grass Pollen Season.
The mean CSMS will be calculated as an average of all non-missing daily CSMS during the grass pollen season. Subjects that did not complete at least 75% of their diary data, and subjects who have been on holidays outside the region for more than 7 days during the actual grass pollen season will be excluded from the analysis. The daily CSMS will be computed according to the definition given by the EAACI Position Paper. The actual grass pollen season would start on the first of 3 consecutive days that have a grass pollen count ≥ 10 ppm3 per 24 hours and the season would end on the first of 3 consecutive days that have a grass pollen count \< 10 ppm3 per 24 hours. The defined pollen season could consist of several separate periods that comply with this definition. The CSMS has a range from 0 to 6 and the higher the score, the more severe symptoms a subject is experiencing.
Time frame: during the grass pollen season: estimated between 6 and 10 months after start of treatment at Visit 2
Population: The Intention-to-Treat population (ITT) consists of all randomized subjects who received at least one dose of the study drug and for whom at least one post-baseline measurement for the primary efficacy endpoint was available.

Number and Severity of Local Reactions
The total number and severity (mild, moderate or severe) of local reactions (reported as TEAE) in the active treatment groups and placebo treatment group. Intensity grading: Mild: Awareness of symptoms but easily tolerated, no disruption of normal activities. Moderate: Discomfort enough to cause interference with usual activity. Severe: Incapacitating with inability to work or do usual activity.
Time frame: Ongoing during 10 months treatment period
Population: The Safety population consists of all randomized subjects who received at least one dose of the study drug. The subjects were included in the treatment group corresponding to the study drug they actually received.

The total number and severity (Grade I, Grade II or Grade III) of systemic reactions in the active treatment groups and placebo treatment group. The grading was done according to the World Allergy Organization grading system: Grade 0: No symptoms or non-immunotherapy-related symptoms Grade I: Mild systemic reactions, symptoms: localized urticaria, rhinitis or mild asthma (PF \< 20% decrease from baseline) Grade II: Moderate systemic reactions, symptoms: Slow onset (\>15 min) of generalized urticaria and/or moderate asthma (PF \< 40% decrease from baseline) Grade III: Severe (non-life-threatening) systemic reactions, symptoms: Rapid onset (\<15 min) of generalized urticaria, angioedema or severe asthma (PF \> 40% decrease from baseline) Grade IV: Anaphylactic shock, symptoms: Immediate evoked reaction of itching, flushing, erythema, generalized urticaria, stridor (angioedema), immediate asthma, hypotension, etc.
Time frame: Ongoing during 10 months treatment period
Population: The Safety population consists of all randomized subjects who received at least one dose of the study drug. The subjects were included in the treatment group corresponding to the study drug they actually received.
