Outcomes and Timepoint

Section to complete information about primary and secondary outcomes including. It includes the metric or method of measurement used and, the time point for every outcome.

Primary outcome(s):

Symptoms and medication for asthma [Symptoms rating (shortness of breath, cough, sputum, wheezing and chest tightness). Each symptom 1 point, maximum of 5 points per day. Points will be added by the intensity 0: symptoms disappear spontaneously, 1: If necessary self-administered home therapy (tablets, syrups and sprays pressurized bronchodilators), 2: If the patient will need to attend the consultation of the research team or the emergency guard of any instance, 3: If the patient requires hospitalization. Need medication Scoring: 3-point scale (0 = no use, 1 = use of beta-2 agonists, methylxanthines, ephedrine, adrenaline, inhaled steroids 2 = use of systemic steroids). The compound variable of symptoms and medication will be calculated as the simple sum of both scores. Measuring time: daily, during the month before treatment start and, during the 6 months of treatment.

Key secondary outcomes:

1. Symptoms and medication for rhinitis: Symptom score (Pruritus, Secretion, Nasal obstruction, Sneezing, Itching / Red eyes, Tearing). Each symptom evaluated can reach a value of 0 to 3 points according to: 0 points: no symptoms, 1 point: slight symptoms (signs / symptoms clearly present, but minimal discomfort, well tolerated), 2 points: moderate symptoms (definite awareness of signs / symptoms that are annoying but tolerated), 3 points: severe symptoms (signs / symptoms that are difficult to tolerate, interfere with activities of daily living and / or sleep). Score for medication need: 1 point: Oral or topical H1 antihistamines, 2 points: Topical corticosteroids, 3 points: Oral corticosteroids. The variable composed of symptoms and medication will be calculated as the simple sum of both scores. Measurement time: daily, during the 30 days before treatment star and, during the 6 months of treatment. 2. Allergen-specific skin reactivity (Ch10, allergen concentration equivalent to a wheal area equal to that produced by Histamine HCl 10 mg / mL). Measurement time: At baseline and, 6 months. 3. Determination of Peak Expiratory Flow (PEF), using standard meter of PEF Measuring time: twice a day during the 30 days before treatment start and, during the 6 months of treatment 4. Quality of life (Quality of life questionnaire AQLQ (S), JUNIPER). Measuring time: At baseline and, 6 months. 5. Control test of Allergic Rhinitis and Asthma (According to the CARAT questionnaire) Measurement time: At baseline and, 6 months. 6. Allergen-specific antibodies (Values of IgE and IgG4 using ELISA technique). Measuring time: At baseline and, 6 months. 7. Adverse events-AE (Occurrence of AE (Yes, No); Type of AE (Name of AE according to clinical manifestation); Localization of the AE (WAO classification: Local, Systemic Grade 1, Systemic Grade 2, Systemic Grade 3, Systemic Grade 4, Systemic Grade 5); Time of appearance (Time from the administration of the drug until the appearance of the AE: Immediate ≤ 30 minutes, Late> 30 minutes); Duration of the AE (Time from start to end of the AE); Prior knowledge (Expected, Unexpected); Intensity of the AE (Mild, Moderate, Severe); Consequence of the AE (Serious, Not Serious); Causality (Very probable, Probable, Possible, Unlikely, Not related, Not assessable/Not classifiable); Outcome of the AE (Recovered, Not Recovered, Recovered with sequels, Death, Unknown); Attitude regarding the treatment of the study (Continuation, Definitive interruption)). Measuring time: daily for 6 months.
