Sublingual Immunotherapy in Children With Allergic Rhinitis
Clinical Efficacy and Mucosal/Systemic Antibody Response Changes After Sublingual Immunotherapy in Mite-allergic Children in a Randomized Double-blind, Placebo-controlled Study in Brazil

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the clinical efficacy and mucosal/systemic antibody response changes after SLIT using house dust mite allergen with or without bacterial extracts in mite-allergic children.

Patients with allergic rhinitis with or without asthma were selected for a randomized double-blind, placebo-controlled trial and distributed into three groups: DPT (Dpt allergen extract, n=34), DPT+MRB (Dpt allergen plus mixed respiratory bacterial extracts, n=36), and Placebo (n=32). Clinical evaluation and immunological analyses are being carried out before and after 12 and 18 months of treatment, including rhinitis/asthma symptom and medication scores, skin prick test (SPT) to Dpt, and measurements of Dpt-, Der p 1-, Der p 2-specific serum IgE, IgG4, IgG1 and -specific salivary IgA.

Allocation: Randomized
Endpoint Classification: Efficacy Study
Intervention Model: Factorial Assignment
Masking: Double Blind (Subject, Caregiver, Investigator, Outcomes Assessor)
Primary Purpose: Treatment
Allergic Rhinitis
Biological: Mite, Mite and Bacterial or Placebo
All treatments were given by sublingual route according to schedule of EAACI, with some modification. Patients received up-dosing sublingual drops once a day, reaching in approximately 3 months a monthly maintenance dose of 36 μg of Der p 1 given three times a week in alternate days for mite, mite and bacterial allergen extract, and no Der p 1 and no bacterial components in the placebo group. Doses were delivered by using vials equipped with a metered-dose dropper, and subjects were instructed to hold the solution under the tongue for 2 min and not to eat or drink for 60 min after the dose. Subjects self-administered the treatment at home. Adjustments in the schedule were made on an individual basis according to standard guidelines for specific immunotherapy
Other Names:
  • mite allergen extract
  • bacterial allergen extract
  • Active Comparator: mite allergen drop
    Children with allergic rhinitis sensitized with dust mites will receive progressive doses of allergen drops comparing those receiving placebo.
    Intervention: Biological: Mite, Mite and Bacterial or Placebo
  • Active Comparator: mite plus bacterial extracts
    Vaccine constituted with mite and bacterial extracts will be compared to placebo.
    Intervention: Biological: Mite, Mite and Bacterial or Placebo
  • Placebo Comparator: Placebo
    Placebo will be constituted by the same solution used to make dilution of the allergen extracts.
    Intervention: Biological: Mite, Mite and Bacterial or Placebo
