Aim: A double-blind placebo-controlled study was conducted according to EMA guidelines, to evaluate safety, tolerability and short-term treatment effects of three up-dosing regimens of Phleum pratense subcutaneous immunotherapy. Materials & methods: Forty-two patients were randomized to groups: A (6 weekly doses), B (8 weekly doses) or C (eight doses, two clustered increasing doses over 3 weeks). Results: The most frequent adverse events were local reactions. No serious adverse events were found. Higher number and more severe systemic reactions were reported in group C. A decrease in cutaneous responses and an increase of specific antibodies was shown in all active groups even at very short-term. Conclusion: Phleum pratense subcutaneous immunotherapy in depot presentation exhibited good safety and tolerability. Group A seemed to show the best profile.
