Clinical tolerability and safety of the treatment
The following parameters will be assessed : general physical status, vital signs, haematological parameters , general blood biochemistry parameters, all (serious) adverse, immunological analysis (total IgG, total IgE) and inflammatory parameters (CRP, sedimentation rate)
Time frame: 3 times during the treatment phase, at week 24 (the end of the study)
Impact of gpASIT+TM on the immunological status of the subjects
The following parameters will be assessed : * allergen-specific IgE, IgG, IgG4, IgA antibody concentrations, * adjuvant-specific IgG antibody concentrations, * lymphoproliferation and production of IL-10 in allergen and adjuvant stimulated PBMC.
Time frame: visit 1, week 7, week 18 and week 24
Impact of gpASIT+TM on the clinical status of the subjects
The following parameters will be assessed (during the pollen season following treatment): * daily average allergic symptom score, * daily average allergic medication score, * number of "well-days", * Visual Analogue Scale .
Time frame: 1 May - 15 August 2010
