Phase

Phase 1: Studies that emphasize safety and how the drug is metabolized and excreted in humans.

Phase 2: Studies that gather preliminary data on effectiveness (whether the drug works in people who have a certain disease or condition) and additional safety data.

Phase 3: Studies that gather more information about safety and effectiveness by studying different populations and different dosages and by using the drug in combination with other drugs.

Phase 4: Studies occurring after FDA has approved a drug for marketing, efficacy, or optimal use.

Additional Details

The trial aims to demonstrate efficacy of the HDM SLIT-tablet versus placebo as add-on treatment in children and adolescents (5-17 years) with HDM allergic asthma based on clinically relevant asthma exacerbations. Additionally, the trial will investigate if the treatment has an effect on asthma symptoms including nightly awakenings due to asthma, asthma medication use, asthma control, lung function, allergic rhinitis and allergic rhinoconjunctivitis. Finally, quality of life (QoL) for subjects and caregivers will be measured. The trial is a randomised, parallel-group, double-blind, placebo-controlled multi-national phase III trial conducted in Europe and North America. The treatment period will be approximately 2 years. Subjects will receive a written asthma action plan.
