Trial Outcomes & Findings for Safety Study of Ragweed Allergy Immunotherapy Tablet in Subjects 50 Years of Age and Older (Study P06081) (NCT NCT00978029)
NCT ID: NCT00978029
Last Updated: 2017-03-03
Results Overview
Participants were treated for 28 days with either 6 or 12 Units of SCH 39641 or placebo, and the proportion with treatment-emergent AEs were recorded. An AE is any unfavorable and unintended sign, symptom or disease temporarily associated with the use of a medicinal product, whether or not considered related to the medicinal product. Treatment-emergent AEs are new AEs that occur after participants have been randomized into the trial, or existing AEs that occurred during Screening that increase in severity after randomization.
