Brief Summary

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

The aim of the study is to investigate the antigen-unspecific effect of a 3 months supplementation with a food for special medical purposes (FSMP) in form of a lozenge containing beta-lactoglobulin (BLG), iron, retinoic acid, zinc and polyphenols (holo-BLG) in patients with allergic rhinoconjunctivitis caused by cat (hair/dander) and the associated symptoms (symptom type and severity) during exposure to cat allergen in an Allergen Exposure Chamber (AEC).
