Study design details

Main study objective

To further describe the safety and tolerability of STALORAL® Birch and STALORAL® Birch/Alder/Hazel at a maximum dose of 300 IR/daily in routine practice in adults suffering from allergic rhinitis, conjunctivitis or rhinoconjunctivitis induced by tree pollen.

Outcomes

All adverse events (AEs) that occur on or after the day of first intake of the medicinal product and up to the end of the observation period. Effect of the treatment on the allergic symptoms and on the use of symptomatic medication, patient’s well-being

Data analysis plan

An overall summary of all AEs, including the number of events and the number and percentage of patients with AEs is drawn up. AEs are summarised on the basis of MedDRA SOC and PT. Further tabular summaries are compiled for SAEs, ADRs (events with a possible causal relationship with STALORAL® Birch or STALORAL® Birch/Alder/Hazel), SADRs, ADRs by severity, ADRs leading to withdrawal from the study, ADRs during the initiation phase (dose escalation phase) or during the course of the treatment (maintenance phase), ADRs requiring medical treatment and ADRs or situations of special interest. Also analysed are the time to occurrence of the ADRs (time interval from the last administration of STALORAL® Birch or STALORAL® Birch/Alder/Hazel), duration and time course of the ADRs. The statistical evaluation of further outcomes takes place descriptively.
