Brief Summary

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

Allergic rhinitis/rhinoconjunctivitis is a symptomatic disorder of the nose induced by an immunoglobulin E (IgE) mediated inflammatory response. Treatment may involve pharmacotherapy and specific immunotherapy (IT). IT represents the only treatment that might alter the natural course of the disease. The amount of administered allergen is crucial for both efficacy and safety of specific IT. SUBLIVAC FIX Mite mixture is a preparation for sublingual IT (SLIT) and is indicated for the treatment of allergic disorders such as allergic rhinitis and rhinoconjunctivitis, caused by sensitisation to house dust mite (HDM) allergens.

According to the European Medicines Agency Guideline on the clinical development of products for specific IT for the treatment of allergic diseases, products should be tested at different dosages to provide preliminary data on safety and tolerability with regard to the maximum tolerated dose and suitable dose escalation scheme. This trial is designed to investigate the tolerability and safety of different dosages of SUBLIVAC FIX Mite mixture.

Placebo

Intervention Type OTHER

Study medication will be taken sublingually once a day. Patients will start with one drop and increase the dose by one drop each consecutive day until the maintenance dose (5 drops/day) is reached. Drops should be kept under the tongue for 2-3 minutes before swallowing. After reaching the maintenance dose patients will be treated up to 1 month.

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

1. Signed informed consent
2. Male or female patients, age ≥ 18 ≤ 60 years
3. Patients with allergic rhinitis or rhinoconjunctivitis induced by HDM for at least 1 year, with or without concomitant at least partly controlled asthma
4. Patients with a history of concomitant asthma should have a FEV1 \> 70% (of predicted value) at inclusion. Patients without a history of asthma should have a FEV1 \> 70% or a PEF \> 80% (of predicted value)
5. Positive SPT to HDM D. pter or D. far (mean wheal diameter ≥ 3 mm compared to negative control; negative control should be negative; histamine control should be positive (mean wheal diameter ≥ 3 mm) at screening
6. Allergen specific serum IgE (ssIgE) level in serum for HDM D. pter or D. far (\> 0.7 U/ml), assessed at screening

Exclusion Criteria

1. Patients with concomitant sensitization i.e. positive SPT (mean wheal diameter ≥ 3 mm compared to negative control; negative control should be negative; histamine control should be positive (mean wheal diameter ≥ 3 mm) who are expected to have clinically relevant symptoms during the treatment period
2. Patients sensitized and symptomatic to pets who are regularly exposed to pets
3. Completed allergen-specific immunotherapy (SCIT or SLIT) with HDM within the last 5 years
