The aim of the study is to compare the safety, clinical tolerability, immunogenicity and efficacy of gpASIT+TM (grass pollen peptides) alone and combined with an immunoregulating adjuvant, in a short course administration (5 injections over 4 weeks).

Safety of the treatment
Safety will be evaluated by the following parameters: general physical status, vital signs, haematological parameters, general biochemical parameters, solicited local adverse events, all (serious) adverse events, immunological analysis (total IgG and IgE), inflammatory parameters (CRP) and anti-adjuvant mmunoglobulins.
Time frame: up to the end of the grass pollen season
Clinical tolerability of the treatment
The clinical tolerability will by assessed through the solicited local adverse events, all (serious) adverse events and the investigator and subject opinion.
Time frame: Duration of treatment period (4 weeks)
Impact of gpASIT+TM with or without adjuvant on the immunological status of the subjects.
The following parameters will be assessed: allergen-specific immunoglobulins and blocking antibodies.
Time frame: up to 1 year after the start of treatment
Impact of gpASIT+TM with or without adjuvant on the grass pollen allergic symptoms of the subjects.
The following parameters will be recorded: symptom and rescue medication scores (diary cards), Quality-of-Life (RQLQ(S)).
Time frame: During the pollen season
Long-term follow-up of the patients
Safety parameters will be: immunological analysis (Total IgG and IgE), inflammatory parameters (CRP), DnaK-specific immunoglobulins and SAEs. Immunogenicity parameters will be: evolution of grass pollen specific immunoglobulins and of blocking antibodies.
Time frame: 1 year after the start of treatment
