The study is a single-center, observational design with a 12-month duration. Approximately 100 Chinese adult (18-65 years old) and adolescent (12-17 years old) with moderate to severe house dust mite (HDM) allergic rhinitis (AR) with or without allergic asthma (AA) who are newly prescribed ACARIZAX® will be recruited for evaluation of the relevance of measurement instruments. The instruments referred to three patient-report scales of allergic rhinitis symptom and quality-of-life including the Daily symptom score (DSS), Standardised rhinoconjunctivitis quality-of-life questionnaire \[RQLQ(S)\], and Visual analogue scale (VAS). Other data will be collected to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of ACARIZAX® under real-world clinical practices.
This is a prospective, non-interventional, observational, single-centre, open-label study. Chinese adult (18-65 years old) and adolescent (12-17 years old) HDM AR patients who are newly prescribed with ACARIZAX® at the discretion of attending physician, according to the approved indication by Hainan Provincial Health Commission, will be recruited for this study. Approximately 100 adult (18-65 years old) and adolescent (12-17 years old) patients are expected to be enrolled from Hainan Branch Hospital of Ruijin Hospital. Patients are included in the study only after the decision for treatment with ACARIZAX® has been made, and only with the objective of collecting relevant data about clinical effectiveness and safety of treatment with ACARIZAX® under real-world conditions. No further medical procedures beyond standard care at the discretion of the attending physician are necessary for participation in this study. Over the 13-month study (including 12-month of treatment), total of 5 scheduled visits will be documented: enrolment and first administration of ACARIZAX® (Visit 1, V0), and subsequent visits performed in 3-month intervals after the first administration at the third month (Visit 2, V1), sixth month (Visit 3, V2), ninth month (Visit 4, V3), and twelfth month (Visit 5, V4) respectively. The actual number and duration of follow-up visits are according to routine practice and may be changed at the physician's discretion. All adverse events (AE) will be collected from the first dose administration until 30 days after the last dose of ACARIZAX® (end of study).

Correlation between three measurement instruments
• The correlation between the score changes from baseline to 12 months of treatment (Visit 4) of three measurement instruments (as follows). Measurement instruments include: * Daily symptom score (DSS) for 7 consecutive days \[minimum: 0; maximum: 18; Higher score indicates worse symptoms \] * Standardised Rhinoconjunctivitis Quality of Life Questionnaire \[RQLQ(S)\] score, \[minimum: 0; maximum: 168; Higher score indicates worse quality of life\] * Visual Analog Scale (VAS) value of the global discomfort caused by AR. \[minimum: 0mm; maximum: 100mm; Higher score indicates more discomfort caused by AR\]
Time frame: 12 months
Change in average of Daily Medication Score (DMS)
• The change in average of Daily Medication Score (DMS) for 7 consecutive days from baseline to 12th month of treatment (Visit 4). \[minimum: 0; maximum: 20; Higher score indicates more medication use\]
Time frame: 12 months
Change in average of Total Combined Rhinitis Score (TCRS)
• The change in average of Total Combined Rhinitis Score (TCRS) for 7 consecutive days from baseline to 12th month of treatment (Visit 4). \[TCRS= Rhinitis DSS+ Rhinitis DMS; minimum: 0; maximum: 24; Higher score indicates worse rhinitis symptoms and more rhinitis medication use\]
Time frame: 12 months
To describe all adverse events (AE) and serious adverse events (SAE)
• All AEs and SAEs from the study initiation to the end of study.
Time frame: up to 13 months
