The primary goal is to investigate the efficacy of intralymphatic immunotherapy (ILIT) for the treatment of allergic rhinitis and allergic asthma due to sensitisation to grass pollen allergens. 60 patients with allergic rhinitis will be included and randomized to receive either Polvac (n=30) or placebo (n=30). All patients will receive three injections with 4-8 weeks interval. The injections into a inguinal lymph node is guided by sonography. Patients will record symptoms and medication use in the summer of 2022 and 2023.

Type | Measure | Description | Time frame | Safety issue |
---|---|---|---|---|
Primary | Combined symptom medication score (cSMS) | Daily registration of symptoms and medication usage by the study participants and by means of a online application. This is done during the pollen season of 2022 (and possible 2023 if the 2022 season is poor with low amounts of pollen). The assessment is done over a time period, but the records are integrated for the calculation of one single score (cSMS), which is the primary outcome. | 3 months (2 minutes per day) | |
Secondary | Rhino conjunctivitis quality of life score (RQLQ) | Weekly questionnaire for studying the quality of life of the study participants during the pollen season of 2022 (and possible 2023 if the 2022 season is poor with low amounts of pollen). The RQLQ will assess seven domains on a weekly basis on a scale from 0 (best) to 6 (worst). The assessment is done over a long time period, but the records are integrated for the calculation of one single score (RQLC), which is the secondary outcome. | 3 months (10 minutes per week) | |
Secondary | Lower airway disease | We will assess spirometry, at each follow-up time point (winter and summer visits) and analyse a time series of the development of each parameter in each treatment group. The assessments will be performed at several time-points and the changes from baseline assessments (before ILIT) is measured. | 10 minutes (5 times in two years) | |
Secondary | Asthma | We will assess FeNo (Fraction Exspiratory Nitric Oxide) at each follow-up time point (winter and summer visits) and analyse a time series of the development of each parameter in each treatment group. The assessments will be performed at several time-points and the changes from baseline assessments (before ILIT) are measured. | 10 minutes (5 times in two years) | |
Secondary | Biomarkers | Circulating levels of IgE, IgG1, and IgG4 specific for grass pollen extract and the major allergens Phl p 5 and Phl p 1 will be determined in blood samples before every treatment and at all the follow-up visits, for a total of 7 times per participant. The analysis is done using ImmunoCAP ELISA. In addition, IgE assessment by ISAC (112 allergens in one array) will be performed to analyse if sensitisation to other allergens develops or changes. All assessments will be performed at several time-points and the changes from baseline assessments (before ILIT) are measured. | 5 minutes (8 times in two years) |
