Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

We wanted to examine the immunogenicity and safety of a shortened specific immunotherapy in contrast to the standard specific immunotherapy.

Therefore, we challenged 12 patients for 14 weeks with the standard specific scheme and 22 patients for 6 weeks with the shortened scheme.
