Conditions
Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (2)
Allergy symptom severity scores on a scale from 0-3
Determine the dose-efficacy response relationship of the ALK tree AIT. This information will, in combination with the evaluation of the frequency and severity of adverse events, form the basis of the conclusion on the primary endpoint.
During the birch pollen season 2013, an expected average of 3 weeks
Adverse events frequency
Determine the dose-safety response relationship of the ALK tree AIT. This information will, in combination with the evaluation of the allergy symptoms, form the basis of the conclusion on the primary endpoint.
Throughout the trial, an expected average of 8 months
Secondary Outcomes (1)
Adverse events severity
Throughout the trial, an expected average of 8 months
