A Multicenter, Open Trial With Subcutaneous Immunotherapy (SCIT) in Patients With Rhinoconjunctivitis Sensitized to Parietaria Judaica

A Multicenter, Open Clinical Trial With Subcutaneous Immunotherapy in Depot in Patients With Rhinoconjunctivitis Sensitized to Parietaria Judaica

The study was designed according to the draft of allergenic product regulation published by Spanish Regulatory Agency. The aim of the study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of subcutaneous immunotherapy with Parietaria judaica pollen extract in patients with rhinoconjunctivitis with or without associated mild asthma. In addition, surrogate efficacy parameters will be evaluated: immunoglobulin level changes and skin reactivity.

Parietaria judaica is a weed widespread throughout the Mediterranean área. Prevalence of sensitization to Parietaria judaica's pollen is very high in the Mediterranean areas, reaching 41.4% among allergic patients on the Spanish Mediterranean coast.

The study has been designed as an open trial which will be conducted in 4 Spanish sites.

1. Patients must sign the informed consent form.
2. Patients must be between 18 and 60 years of age.

4. Patients who obtained a prick test result ≥ 3 mm diameter to Parietaria judacia. Positive and negative control of the test should give consistent results.
5. Patients with specific immunoglobulin E ≥ class 2 (CAP/PHADIA) to Parietaria judaica.
