About the phase IIa study and the analysis

The randomized, double-blind and placebo-controlled phase IIa study included 40 male and female patients aged 18 to 65 and suffering from mild to moderate seasonal allergic rhinitis due to grass pollen allergy. Upon entry into the study, the allergic status of the individual participants was recorded by the conjunctival provocation test, a commonly used allergy test. The study participants were randomized into 4 treatment groups with 10 patients each and received 6 weekly injections of either i) 300 ?g CYT003-QbG10, ii) 300 ?g CYT003-QbG10 plus Alum, iii) placebo (PBS or Alum), or iv) 300 ?g CYT003-QbG10 plus grass pollen extract (this last group was handled exploratory and open-label). Two weeks after the last dose, the allergic status of the patients was again assessed by the conjunctival provocation test. All 40 patients were included into the analysis.
