Evaluation of ALLERgen Specific Vaccination of DOG Allergic Patients in Swedish Practice

STUDY DESIGN A single-center prospective before-and-after study evaluating the effect of Alutard SQ Dog in 40 men and women with moderate-to-severe dog allergy. Participants will serve as their own controls.

STUDY OUTLINE

The study will begin in the fall of 2026 and will be conducted over a one-year period. At baseline, participants will be asked to record their allergic symptoms, and assessments of lung function and nasal airflow will be performed. Blood samples will also be collected.

Following the baseline assessments, participants will undergo allergen provocation by entering a facility containing dogs. After a 30-minute exposure to dogs, participants will again be asked to record their allergic symptoms and will undergo the same assessments performed at baseline.

Allergen immunotherapy (AIT) with Alutard SQ Dog will then be initiated according to the standard treatment regimen and continued for one year. At the end of the treatment period, the same provocation procedure and assessments will be repeated. Participants will enter a facility containing dogs, followed by symptom recording and evaluation of lung function, nasal airflow, and relevant laboratory parameters.
