Anergis, a company developing novel and proprietary ultra-fast allergy immunotherapeutics, will present three scientific posters at the 34th European Academy of Allergy and Clinical Immunology (EAACI) Congress 2015 (Barcelona, June 6-10, 2015). All posters will focus on Anergis´ birch pollen immunotherapeutic AllerT, featuring detailed clinical data as well as in vitro and in vivo safety and immunogenicity data. AllerT is Anergis´ most advanced product and based on the company´s proprietary Contiguous Overlapping Peptide (COP) platform.
The following scientific communications will be presented at the EAACI Conference 2015:

Company News: Anergis Presents Sustained Efficacy Data from its AllerT Phase IIb Trial at the AAAAI Annual Meeting
– Contiguous Overlapping Peptide allergy immunotherapeutic AllerT confirms sustained efficacy in the second year following treatment
Anergis, a company developing novel and proprietary ultra-fast allergy immunotherapeutics, presented detailed data from the Phase IIb trial of its birch pollen allergy immunotherapeutic AllerT in two separate scientific posters at the AAAAI (American Academy of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology) Annual Meeting in Houston, Texas. The findings were presented on February 22, 2015. Abstracts can be found at www.anergis.ch. AllerT is Anergis´ most advanced long-peptide immunotherapeutic and based on the company´s proprietary Contiguous Overlapping Peptide (COP) platform.
In 2013, the clinical efficacy of AllerT was demonstrated in a field-based, randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind trial in 239 patients with birch pollen allergy, who received either AllerT (at 50μg or 100μg doses) or a placebo during a 2-month immunotherapy regimen. All main efficacy and safety endpoints were met in this study.
In 2014, the sustained efficacy of AllerT was assessed in the same group of patients during a second follow-up season without additional treatment. In both years, efficacy was evaluated using combined Rhinoconjunctivitis Symptom and Medication Scores (RSMS) as the primary endpoint as well as quality of life (Mini RQLQ) and Night-time Nasal Symptom Score (NNSS) as the main secondary endpoints. The study also measured the levels of allergen-specific immunoglobulins (Bet v 1 specific IgG4) in patients.
The data collected during the second post-treatment season (N=196 patients) proved the sustained efficacy of AllerT, as demonstrated by improvements in the primary endpoint, RSMS, and in the main secondary endpoints, Mini RQLQ and NNSS. The trial also confirmed that AllerT had induced a persistent elevation of anti-Bet v 1 IgG4 antibodies, i.e. measured after one year without treatment.
