Clinical Trial With Subcutaneous Immunotherapy in Depot Presentation in Patients With Allergic Rhinoconjunctivitis Sensitized to House Dust Mites

The aim of the study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of subcutaneous immunotherapy (SCIT) with House Dust Mite (HDM) extract in patients with rhinoconjunctivitis with or without associated mild asthma and sensitized to HDM. In addition,surrogate efficacy parameters will be evaluated: immunoglobulin level changes and skin reactivity.

It will be recruited 50 patients susceptible to receive SCIT with HDM extract along 5 participating spanish sites.

Primary endpoint of the study is to assess the safety and tolerability of subcutaneous immunotherapy in depot presentation and quick pattern in patients with rhinoconjunctivitis with or without mild asthma sensitized to house dust mites

Secondary objective is to evaluate the indirect immunotherapy efficacy through the measurement of immunoglobulin level changes and cutaneous reactivity

The aim of present clinical trial is to go deeper into the safety of the vaccine of mixture of DPT and DF (50:50). Although this is the first clinical trial to date to be performed with this vaccine, there have been two clinical trials with the same formulation and DPT 100% as active ingredient( NºEudraCT: 2009-016277-15 and NºEudraCT: 2011-004583-30). Given that there is a remarkable cross-reactivity between the DPT and DF mites, the results of the two clinical trials conducted to date with subcutaneous depot vaccine with Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus 100% extract mite, are very significant

Eligibility Criteria:
Inclusion Criteria:

1. Patients must sign the informed consent form
2. Patients must be between 18 and 60 years of age
3. Patients with perennial allergic rhinoconjunctivitis against HDM during a minimum of 1 year prior to study participation. Although allergic rhinoconjunctivitis is the pathology under study, the inclusion of patients with mild concomitant asthma is allowed (GINA 2015)
4. Patients who obtained a prick test result ≥ 3 mm diameter to HDM. Positive and negative control of the test should give consistent results
5. Patients with specific immunoglobulin E ≥ class 2 (CAP/PHADIA) to HDM
6. Patients sensitized to HDM with clinically relevant symptoms in which treatment with HDM (50:50) vaccine is indicated
7. Women of childbearing potential must have a negative urine pregnancy test at visit 1
8. Women of childbearing potential must agree to use an appropriate contraception method during the study if they are sexually active

Exclusion Criteria:

1. Patients who received immunotherapy in the previous 5 years for HDM or for any allergen with cross reactivity or patients that are currently receiving immunotherapy for any allergen
2. Patients with severe asthma or forced expiratory volume in 1 second FEV1 \< 70% even if the are pharmacologically controlled
3. Polysensitized patients besides other airborne allergens Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus and Dermatophagoides farinae, which according to the investigator may present clinically relevant to those other airborne allergens while participating in this study
4. Patients with: immunological, cardiac, renal or hepatic illnesses or any other medical condition that the investigator deems relevant so as to interfere with the study
5. Patients with a previous history of anaphylaxis
6. Patients with active chronic urticaria
7. Patients with active severe atopic eczema
8. Patients who have participated in another clinical trial within 3 month prior to enrollment
9. Patients under treatment with tricyclic antidepressives, phenothiazines, β- blockers, or Angiotensin Converting Enzyme Inhibitors (ACEI)
10. Female patients who are pregnant or breast-feeding
11. Patient who does not attend the visits
12. Patient's lack of collaboration or refusal to participate
