---|---|
Experimental: 10,000 MG01 + 10,000 T521 10,000 TU/mL of MG01 + 10,000 TU/mL of T521 of subcutaneous immunotherapy |
Biological: 10,000 MG01 +10,000 T521
Purified and polymerized with glutaraldehyde allergen extract, from a mixture of grasses (Phleum pratense, Holcus lanatus, Poa pratensis, Festuca pratensis, Lolium perenne and Dactylis glomerata) and cupresaceae (Juniperus oxycedrus), adsorbed on aluminum hydroxide. The other ingredients are: sodium chloride (0.9%), phenol (0.4%) and water for injections

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- CSMS: Combined Symptoms and Medication Score, asthma and rhinitis. [12 months]
Evaluation of the number of symptoms and the consumption of medication necessary for the control of such symptoms in asthma and rhinitis / rhinoconjunctivitis of each subject during the trial, of the groups with each other and with respect to placebo.
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Medication free days [12 months]
Both rhinitis/rhinoconjuntivitis and asthma
- Symptom free days [12 months]
Both rhinitis/rhinoconjuntivitis and asthma
- Number of participants with treatment-related adverse events as assessed by T521+MG01-SIT026 [12 months]
Comparison between the beginning and end of the trial and among active groups and placebo
- Quality of life associated with asthma [12 months]
The quality of life associated with asthma will be measured following the ACQ questionnaire. The ACQ questionnaire consists of 6 questions (ACQ-6). In questions 1-6, patients recall their experience during the last 7 days and answer using a scale of 7 points (from 0 = fully controlled to 6 = extremely poorly controlled). The questionnaire score is the mean of the 6 responses (ACQ-6). The interpretation of the scores is as follows: Less than or equal to 0.75: Adequate control of asthma From 0.75 to 1.50: Partially controlled asthma More than 1.50: Inadequate asthma control
- VAS [12 months]
Visual Analogue Scale in which the subject has to indicate in a straight line of 10cm how he/she feels regarding to his allergy symptoms. Being left side (0) = very bad and right side (10) = very well
- Asthmatic exacerbations [12 months]
Time elapsed until the first appearance of asthmatic exacerbations, number, duration and severity.
- Health resource consumption [12 months]
Counting the Health resource consumption: visits to specialists, telephone calls, test and analyses.
- Quality of life associated with rhinitis [12 months]
The quality of life associated with rhinitis will be measured following the test ESPRINT-15. The scoring of the questionnaire will be carried out as follows: The global sum of the scores (ranging from "0 = nothing has bothered me" to "6 = it has bothered me a lot") of the 14 items plus the score given in the general questionnaire (ranging from "0 = Excellent" to "4 = Bad"). This sum is divided by the total number of items (15 items). The interpretation of the scores is between 0 (low impact) and 6 (high impact).
