ToleroMune Grass Exposure Unit Study

This study is designed as a randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel group study to evaluate the safety and tolerability of ToleroMune Grass in grass allergic subjects with allergic rhinoconjunctivitis. The efficacy of ToleroMune Grass will be explored in subjects using an EEU (Environmental Exposure Unit).

The study will consist of 3 study periods. In Period 1, Screening will be performed up to a maximum of 16 weeks before randomisation and may consist of one or two visits to the clinic, at the Investigator's discretion. Baseline Challenge will consist of 4 visits to the EEU at least 3 days before randomisation.

In Period 2, subjects in each cohort complying with the inclusion/exclusion criteria will be randomised to one of four groups and will receive treatment every 2 weeks (±2 days) for 14 weeks.

In Period 3, Post Treatment Challenge will consist of 4 visits to the EEU about 25 weeks after the first administration in the treatment period and assessments will be performed identical to those at the baseline challenge. Follow-up will be conducted 3-10 days after PTC.
