An Escalating, Multiple-dose Study in Ragweed Allergic Subjects to Assess the Safety of Intradermal Injection of ToleroMune Ragweed

It is estimated that 36 million Americans suffer from seasonal allergies and that ragweed is the primary cause of autumn allergies, 87% of patients with ragweed allergy suffer rhinoconjunctivitis. ToleroMune Ragweed is a novel, synthetic, allergen-derived peptide desensitising vaccine, currently being developed for the treatment of ragweed allergy. The purpose of the present study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of multiple ascending doses of ToleroMune Ragweed in subjects in subjects with a documented history of allergic rhinoconjunctivitis on exposure to ragweed pollen. The efficacy of ToleroMune Ragweed will also be explored in these subjects using the Late Phase Skin Response, Early Phase Skin Response and Conjunctival Provocation Test.
