NCT00113750

Brief Summary

Tree MATA (modified pollen allergen tyrosine adsorbate) has been developed to provide pre-seasonal specific immunotherapy for patients with hypersensitivity to tree (birch, alder, and hazel) pollen. Different doses of Tree MATA will be administered and immunological changes following this treatment will be assessed.

  • History of at least 1 season of moderate to severe seasonal rhinoconjunctivitis without bronchial asthma due to an IgE mediated allergy to pollen from trees
  • Positive skin prick test to birch, hazel and alder pollen allergen extract
  • Positive skin prick test to positive histamine control
  • Negative skin prick test to negative control
  • Specific IgE for birch with class \>= 2
  • Moderate/severe allergy symptoms in the past tree season
  • Spirometry at Screening demonstrates FEV1 \>= 80% predicted and FEV1/FVC \>= 70%.

You may not qualify if:

  • History or presence of acute or subacute atopic dermatitis, chronic dermatitis, urticaria factitia, or urticaria due to physical/chemical influence or any other skin conditions which might interfere with the interpretation of skin prick test results
  • Visual inspection of the forearms indicates potential problems with the conduct or interpretation of the screening skin prick tests

  • Any clinically significant abnormal laboratory value at Visit 1
  • Clinically relevant sensitivity to any common perennial allergen: house dust mites, molds, or epithelia. Subjects may be enrolled in the study if they test positive, but have no current symptoms to perennial allergens
  • Clinically relevant sensitivity to summer/autumn flowering plants and grasses: Grass pollen mix, rye, plantain, orache, nettle, mugwort, bermuda grass, and ragweed. Subjects may be enrolled in the study if they test positive, but have no current symptoms to these summer/autumn allergens.
  • History of auto-immune diseases or rheumatoid diseases
  • Subject not allowed to receive adrenalin
  • Subject has disorder of tyrosine metabolism
  • Subject with diseases interfering with the immune response and have received medication, which could influence the results of this study
  • Subject has acute or chronic infection
  • History of anaphylaxis
