Subcutaneous Immunotherapy Treatment for Patients With Hypersensitivity to Parietaria Judaica

November 8, 2013 updated by: Laboratorios Leti, S.L.

Clinical, Multi-centre, Randomised, Double-blind Placebo-controlled Subcutaneous Immunotherapy Trial With Depigmented, Polymerized Extract of Parietaria Judaica Pollen on Patients With Hypersensitivity to This Pollen

The objective of this trial is to assess the clinical efficacy of the modified extract (depigmented and polymerized with glutaraldehyde) of the subcutaneous injection of Parietaria Judaica pollen in the treatment of patients affected by allergic rhinitis/rhinoconjunctivitis ( with or without episodic asthma) induced by hypersensitivity to grass pollen, evaluating the score regarding symptoms and consumption of the medication.

Study Overview
