Detailed Descriptions

Sequence: 20605974
Description Aim to prevent the development of asthma in children by intervening at a time when the developing system in still amenable to immune modulation, by using the only therapy that has proven ability to change the natural history of allergic diseases and induce clinical remission. We hypothesize that three years of HDM Immunotherapy in high-risk infants will prevent the development of asthma assessed over a period of 1.5 years after discontinuation of treatment and HDM immunotherapy will result in (a) a significant reduction in the number and pathogenic features of HDM-reactive TH2 cells, and (b) an increase in the numbers of HDM-reactive TH and TREG cells expressing the interferon-response signature. The study is a Randomized (1:1), double blinded, placebo controlled, parallel arms, multi-site, Phase II study with a 3 year treatment phase and further 1.5 year follow-up phase. The study duration for each participant is 4.5 years. Overall study duration is 84 months (7 years); which include 9 months preparation and regulatory approvals, 15 months accrual, 36 months treatment and 18 months follow-up observation period.

Description HDM sublingual Immunotherapy (HDM-SLIT) with Odactra® for 3 years to high-risk infants aged between 6 to 12 months at enrollment in preventing the development of asthma, assessed 1.5 years after discontinuation of treatment. Description Placebo administered sublingually for 3 years to high-risk infants aged between 6 to 12 months with outcome of asthma development assessed 1.5 years after discontinuation of treatment.

Name HDM sublingual Immunotherapy Name Placebo
Description HDM-SLIT tablet (Odactra®/Acarizax®) is a rapidly dissolving, freeze-dried, oral lyophilizate for oromucosal treatment, which contains a 1:1 mixture of two allergen extracts derived for the cultivated house dust mites, D. pteronyssinus and D. farinae. These species are included in SLIT tablet and subcutaneous immunotherapy administered for the treatment of allergic rhinitis and asthma in the pediatric and adult populations. The tablet dissolves within seconds after contact with a wet surface such as the oral mucosa. Participants will be administered the drug sublingually for 3 years. Description Placebo sublingual therapy
