UK-based biotech firm Allergy Therapeutics has been left disappointed after it became evident that its adjuvanted birch allergoid product failed its primary endpoint in the treatment of birch-pollen induced seasonal allergic rhinitis.
Newly revealed Phase 3 data indicated that the drug “did not show a statistically significant difference between active and placebo arms”, with trial participants failing to achieve an adequate combined symptom medication score averaged over the peak birch pollen season.
