Working in close collaboration with Tamar Kinaciyan at MedUni Vienna's Department of Dermatology, a research group led by Barbara Bohle at the Institute of Pathophysiology and Allergy Research has now demonstrated in a Phase II trial that the apple allergen «Mal d 1» significantly reduces the symptoms
of apple allergy and is therefore an effective and safe treatment option.
Of the 60 volunteers with birch pollen -
related apple allergy, 20 were treated with placebo, 20 with a birch pollen allergen and with the recombinant apple allergen Mal d 1, that is to say genetically manufactured, reproducible, very stable and therefore easily stored.
The results of the Phase II trial now have to be verified in a (multi-centre) clinical Phase III trial — as soon as this trial has been successfully completed and a partner has been found from the pharmaceutical industry, this immunotherapy could be available in a few years for
treating apple allergy.
