Efficacy and Safety of PQ Grass in Subjects With Seasonal Allergic Rhinitis and/or Rhinoconjunctivitis Induced by Grass Pollen

January 25, 2024 updated by: Allergy Therapeutics

A Randomised, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled Clinical Trial to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of PQ Grass in Subjects With Seasonal Allergic Rhinitis and/or Rhinoconjunctivitis Induced by Grass Pollen Exposure

The PQGrass306 (G306) clinical trial is the pivotal Phase III efficacy clinical trial of PQ Grass.

The aim of the G306 pivotal clinical trial is to confirm the efficacy and safety of the optimal effective dose of PQ Grass 27600 SU. This will be determined through the measurements of the effect of PQ Grass on the symptoms of seasonal allergic rhinitis (SAR)/rhinoconjunctivitis and the use of relief medications to control these symptoms during the peak grass pollen season (GPS).

Study Overview

Detailed Description

Multi-centre, randomised, parallel group, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial to confirm the efficacy and safety of the optimal effective dose of PQ Grass (27600 SU).

Randomized study subjects, in a randomisation ratio of 1:1, will receive either treatment with 6 injections of active treatment (900, 2700, 6000, 6000, 6000 and 6000 SU sequentially) to achieve a cumulative nominal dose of 27600 SU, or 6 injections of placebo prior to the onset of the grass pollen season (GPS).

The aim of the study is to confirm the efficacy and safety of the optimal effective dose of the PQ Grass 27600 SU dose. Efficacy will be determined through the measurements of the effect of PQ Grass on the symptoms of seasonal allergic rhinitis (SAR)/rhinoconjunctivitis and the use of relief medications to control these symptoms during the peak GPS.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Ages Eligible for Study

18 years to 65 years (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  1. Capable of giving signed informed consent as described in Appendix 1 which includes compliance with the requirements and restrictions listed in the ICF (informed consent form) and in this clinical trial protocol and to attend required clinical trial visits.
  2. Subject who has a signed and dated ICF.
  3. Subject must be 18 to 65 years of age inclusive, at the time of signing the ICF.
  4. Male or female.
  5. Female subjects who are not of childbearing potential (defined as at least 12 months natural spontaneous amenorrhoea, or at least 6 weeks following surgical menopause/permanent sterilisation [hysterectomy, bilateral oophorectomy and bilateral salpingectomy]) or females of childbearing potential who agree to comply with the contraceptive requirements of the clinical trial protocol.
  6. Good general health, as determined by the Investigator, based on a medical evaluation, including medical history, physical examination, mental status assessment and laboratory tests. A subject with a clinical abnormality or laboratory parameters outside the reference range for the population being studied may be included only if the Investigator agrees that the finding is unlikely to introduce additional risk factors and will not interfere with the clinical trial procedures.
  7. Positive history of moderate to severe symptoms of SAR/rhinoconjunctivitis ascribed to grass (Pooideae) pollen exposure of at least 2 seasons duration, despite having received allergy pharmacotherapy (e.g., antihistamines, nasal corticosteroids, leukotriene modifiers, etc.) during the last 2 consecutive grass pollen seasons prior to the clinical trial, confirmed by subject records.

    Please note: Subjects with asthma may be included, but the asthma must be well controlled (according to current Global Initiative for Asthma [GINA] guidelines [GINA 2022]).

  8. A positive SPT (skin prick test) to histamine (wheals [longest diameter] ≥3 mm) and a negative SPT to the negative control (wheal diameter = 0 mm) at screening.
  9. A positive SPT for grass pollen (wheals [longest diameter] ≥3 mm).
  10. Grass specific IgE (immunoglobulin E) class ≥2 as documented by an ImmunoCAP test at screening.
  11. Forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1) ≥70% of predicted, with a FEV1/forced vital capacity (FVC) ratio >75% and PEFR (peak expiratory flow rate) ≥70% of predicted at screening.

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. Pregnant or lactating subject.
  2. Presence of any medical history of moderate to severe allergy symptoms (verified by a positive SPT at screening or positive specific IgE [≥2] at screening) to any other seasonal allergen (other than grass) or perennial allergens.

    Exception: Period 1, Period 2 and Period 3 of the entire clinical trial will be conducted outside of the pollen season(s) of concern or perennial allergies are irrelevant due to avoidance measures (e.g., cats and dog allergy). Subjects with mild allergy symptoms (only) to any other allergen apart from grass may be included at the discretion of the Investigator. In countries in Europe where Bermuda grass is present, any medical history of moderate to severe allergy symptoms to Bermuda grass (verified by a positive SPT or positive specific IgE [Class ≥2]), will also represent a reason for exclusion as it will not be possible to conduct Period 1, Period 2 and Period 3 of the entire clinical trial outside of Bermuda grass pollen season. Albeit Bermuda grass being commonly defined as a grass, it belongs to the Poaceae family, while the sentence (other than grass) in Exclusion criterion #2 refers to grass of Pooideae subfamily (as defined in Inclusion criterion #7).

  3. Subjects at US clinical trial sites in regions where southern grasses (Bahia grass, Bermuda grass or Johnson grass) are the dominant grasses and the main cause of grass allergy symptoms with a positive SPT to any of the 3 grasses (irrespective of the severity of symptoms).
  4. Moderate to severe symptoms during the 3 years prior to Visit 1 to any other seasonal or perennial allergen not tested in the SPT done at screening that cannot be avoided during the Period 1 to Period 3 of the clinical trial and the symptoms of which may interfere with administration of treatment and/or impact the data collected.
  5. Presence of any medical condition that may reduce the ability to survive a serious allergic reaction.
  6. Presence of active systemic autoimmune disorder, systemic autoimmune disorders in remission or active organ specific autoimmune disorder.
  7. Presence of active malignant neoplasia, severe cardiovascular disease (e.g., coronary artery disease, cardiac insufficiency, etc.), pulmonary insufficiency, severe psychiatric disorders or primary and secondary immunodeficiencies.
  8. History of any other immunological disorder or other diseases (including, but not limited cardiovascular [including uncontrolled or inadequately controlled hypertension], gastro-intestinal, hepatic, renal, haematological, neurological, endocrine or pulmonary disease) that in the opinion of the Investigator may pose a safety risk or compromise the interpretation of efficacy of the clinical trial treatment.
  9. Presence of severe or poorly controlled or uncontrolled asthma as defined by at least 1 of the following criteria:

    1. Severe asthma (as per the current GINA guidelines [GINA, 2022]).
    2. Uncontrolled or poorly controlled asthma as per the current GINA guidelines (GINA, 2022).
    3. Asthma that requires more than a daily dose above 800 μg of inhaled budesonide (or clinically comparable inhaled corticosteroid) as per the current GINA guidelines (GINA, 2022).
    4. History of 2 or more systemic corticosteroid courses within 6 months of screening or Visit 2 or 1 course of systemic corticosteroids within 3 months of screening or Visit 2 to treat asthma.
    5. Prior intubation/mechanical ventilation for asthma.
    6. Emergency room visit or hospitalisation for asthma in the 12 months prior to screening or Visit 2.

  11. Presence of nasal polyps and/or chronic sinusitis.
  12. Presence of any acute or chronic ocular disorder, other than allergic conjunctivitis.
  13. Eye surgery within the past 6 months.
  14. Presence of any skin conditions (e.g., skin abnormalities, tattoos etc.), which might interfere with the interpretation of the SPT results.
  15. Clinical history of Type I diabetes or poorly controlled Type II diabetes.
  16. Moderate to severe upper or lower respiratory infections requiring medication within 14 days before screening (Visit 1) or Visit 2.
  17. Presence of acute or chronic infection, fever or inflammation at screening or Visit 2.
  18. Clinical history of severe systemic reaction or serious systemic reaction in response to AIT (allergen immunotherapy) in the past.
  19. Clinical history of severe or life-threatening anaphylactic reactions to foods, insect venom, exercise, drugs or idiopathic anaphylaxis.
  20. Clinical history of allergy, hypersensitivity or intolerance to the excipients of the investigational drug/placebo.
  21. Clinical history of allergy, hypersensitivity or intolerance to the relief medications (for relief of allergy symptoms during Period 3) provided for use in this clinical trial.
  22. Clinical history of hereditary angioedema.
  23. Unable to receive epinephrine therapy (i.e., use of epinephrine is contraindicated such as in subjects with hyperthyroidism, uncontrolled hypertension, cardiac arrhythmias, closed angle glaucoma or subjects taking other sympathomimetics).
  24. Tyrosine metabolism disorders, especially tyrosinemia and alkaptonuria.
  25. Clinical history of drug or alcohol abuse, which, in the Investigator's opinion, could interfere with the subject's ability to participate in the clinical trial.
  26. Subjects who have suspicion or symptoms of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection (as assessed by the Investigator) or who have had unprotected contact with a confirmed case of COVID-19 (coronavirus disease 2019) in the 2 weeks prior to screening or Visit 2 (based on the Investigator's discretion).

Combined symptom and medication score (CSMS) averaged over the entire (or truncated) grass pollen season (GPS)
Time Frame: Time Frame: Approximately 10 weeks
6 individual symptoms assessed in a 4 point severity scale (0-No symptoms to 3-Severe symptoms) and combined with relief medication use assessed using a 4 point severity scale (0=No relief medication, 1=anti-histamine use, 2=nasal corticosteroid use, and 3=oral corticosteroid use)
Time Frame: Approximately 10 weeks
Daily symptom score (dSS) component of the CSMS averaged over the peak GPS and entire (or truncated) GPS
Time Frame: Time Frame: Time Frame: Approximately 10 weeks. Duration of the Peak Grass pollen season (GPS) to be determined as per pollen counts within the GPS
Sum of the scores (0-No symptoms to 3-Severe symptoms) for the 6 individual symptoms assessed in CSMS divided by 6
Time Frame: Time Frame: Approximately 10 weeks. Duration of the Peak Grass pollen season (GPS) to be determined as per pollen counts within the GPS
Daily medication score (dMS) component of the CSMS averaged over the peak GPS and entire (or truncated) GPS
Time Frame: Time Frame: Approximately 10 weeks. Duration of the Peak Grass pollen season (GPS) to be determined as per pollen counts within the GPS
Score 0 (no relief medication) to 3 (highest step relief medication) per day; based on at least 1 dose of the medication of the highest step taken that day
Time Frame: Approximately 10 weeks. Duration of the Peak Grass pollen season (GPS) to be determined as per pollen counts within the GPS
