Who can join
- Participants who have signed the informed consent form.
- Participants capable of complying with the dosing regimen.
- Participants capable of recording symptoms and medication use in an electronic diary via a smartphone (preferably) or in a paper diary.
- Participants with a Rhinoconjunctivitis Combined Symptom and Medication Score (RCSMS) ≥ 2 out of 6, recorded for at least 10 days, corresponding to moderate-to-severe allergic rhinitis/rhinoconjunctivitis.
- Male or female participants aged 12 to 65 years, inclusive.
- Participants with a confirmed clinical history of inhalant allergy with moderate-to-severe persistent rhinitis/rhinoconjunctivitis according to ARIA classification(1) of at least 1 year duration (treated with antiallergic medication) with or without controlled intermittent or persistent mild-to-moderate asthma according to the definition of GINA 2025 (2), caused by Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus and/or Dermatophagoides farinae and Blomia tropicalis. The asthma diagnosis will be valid up to 12 months prior to signing the informed consent.
- Participants with positive skin prick test to standardized extracts of Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus and/or Dermatophagoides farinae and Blomia tropicalis. The major diameter of the wheal must be ≥ 5 mm and greater than or equal to the major diameter of the wheal of the positive control (histamine). The results will be valid up to 12 months prior to the signature of the informed consent.
- Specific IgE ≥3.5 kU/L against a complete extract of D. pteronyssinus and/or D. farinae and Blomia tropicalis or any of the molecular components of allergenic sources with a value ≥ 3.5 kU/L. The results will be valid up to 12 months prior to the signature of the informed consent.
- Of participants sensitized to other aeroallergens, only those meeting the following criteria may be included in the study (results valid up to 12 months prior to the signing of the informed consent form): a) Participants with a positive skin prick test to Lepidoglyphus destructor and/or other mites may be included, provided that the specific IgE value for this allergen is ≤ 3.5 kU/L. b) Participants with a positive skin prick test to animal dander may be included only if exposure and related symptoms are occasional. Participants with regular exposure to animal dander or who live with animals must have a negative skin prick test to these danders. c) Participants sensitized (positive skin prick test) to one or more pollens must complete the first symptom and medication recording period (after the Baseline Visit (BV) under the following conditions: 1. The first symptom and medication recording period must be carried out outside the pollen season. 2. The first symptom and medication recording period must begin at least one month before or one month after the pollen season. 3. Participants who do not meet both condition 1 and condition 2 at the time of the Baseline Visit (BV) will be considered a screening failure. These participants may be re-screened and re-included at a later time (see Section 7.3.3). In addition, the final symptom and medication recording period (after Visit 12 (V12)) must also be conducted in accordance with conditions 1 and 2 described above. An individual assessment of each participant will be performed in conjunction with the pollen calendar established for each geographical region to verify that symptom and medication recording can be carried out under the conditions described above. If this is not possible, the participant may not be included in the study.
- Participants with a negative skin prick test to molds.
- Women of childbearing potential (i.e., from menarche until postmenopause, defined as the absence of menstruation for 12 months without an alternative medical cause, and who have not undergone permanent sterilization procedures such as hysterectomy, bilateral salpingectomy, or bilateral oophorectomy) must have experienced menarche and present a negative urine pregnancy test at the time of study inclusion.
- Women of childbearing potential must agree to use a highly effective contraceptive method throughout the study and for 1 month after completion of treatment with the investigational medicinal product. Acceptable methods include: combined hormonal contraception (containing estrogen and progestogen), hormonal contraception associated with inhibition of ovulation (oral, intravaginal, or transdermal), progestogen-only hormonal contraception associated with inhibition of ovulation (oral, injectable, or implantable), intrauterine device (IUD), hormone-releasing intrauterine system (IUS), male condom, bilateral tubal occlusion, partner vasectomy, or sexual abstinence.
