Seasonal Allergic Rhinitis
Conditions
Brief summary
This prospective open multi-centre non-interventional study initiated to document the up-dosing period of children and adults with allergic rhinoconjunctivitis and/or allergic asthma treated with a SLIT containing purified, aqueous extracts of birch, alder, and hazel pollen. The following up-dosing schemes are freely selectable: scheme A consists of an up-dosing period of 12 days at the patient´s home using the standardized pollen extract in three different solution strengths to reach the maximum dose; scheme B is performed only with the highest solution strength at the physician's office within 2 hours; and the new scheme C which is a regimen for initiation at the physician's office and continuation at the patient's home also exclusively using the highest solution strength and takes 4 days. Data are documented by physicians and in patients´ diaries.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Incidence of treatment-emergent adverse events (Safety and Tolerability) | up to 12 days of the up-dosing phase | Tolerability and safety will be assessed by the frequency and intensity of local reactions (mouth, lips, pharynx/throat, gastrointestinal tract) and systemic reactions (skin, airways, others) during the up-dosing phase. |
| Improvement of rhinoconjunctivitis symptoms and intake of rescue medication (efficacy) | through study completion, tree pollen season 2017 | Efficacy will be assessed by the improvement of rhinoconjunctivitis symptoms and intake of rescue medication during the tree pollen season 2017 |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Evaluation of tolerability and safety | up to 12 days of the up-dosing phase | Tolerability and safety of the treatment with ORALVAC COMPACT BÄUME will be evaluated by the frequency and intensity of miscellaneous adverse events during the up-dosing phase. |
