ToleroMune House Dust Mites (HDM) Exposure Chamber Study

Summary

House Dust Mites (HDM) are arachnids that infest bedding, carpet, upholstered furniture and fabric. Like many other allergens, exposure to HDM allergens in sensitised patients is associated with poorer lung function, greater medication requirements and more asthma symptoms as well as chronic rhinosinusitis symptoms. In contrast to other allergens, there is evidence that HDMA leads to the development of asthma, in addition to exacerbating pre-existing asthma in HDM-sensitised patients. ToleroMune HDM is a novel, synthetic, allergen-derived peptide desensitising vaccine, currently being developed for the treatment of HDM allergy This study will look at the efficacy, safety and tolerability of three doses of ToleroMune HDM in HDM allergic subjects following challenge with HDM allergen in an Environmental Exposure Chamber (EEC)).
