Interventions

  • Omalizumab — DRUG
    For patients in the Omalizumab group, subcutaneous injections of Omalizumab based on the specific participant's weight and serum total IgE was performed 2 weeks prior the anticipated pollen season.

Study Details

Allergic rhinitis (AR) is induced by an immunoglobulin E (IgE)-mediated reaction in the allergen-sensitized subjects, affecting 10% to 40% of the world population. AR could be divided into two kinds, perennial AR and seasonal AR (SAR). In recent years, biologics have become promising drugs for allergic diseases. The efficacy and safety of Omalizumab in treating SAR have been well proven by previous studies. However, the efficacy in preseasonal treatment for SAR has not yet been studied before.

Arms

  • Experimental: omalizumab preseasonal treatment
    For patients in the Omalizumab group, subcutaneous injections of Omalizumab based on the specific participant's weight and serum total IgE was performed 2 weeks prior the anticipated pollen season. Rescue medication could be used during pollen seasons.
  • No Intervention: control
    No preseasonal treatment was performed. Rescue medication could be used during pollen seasons.

Primary Outcome Measure

the change of total nasal symptoms scores [ Time Frame: at baseline, week 2 (the initial phase of pollen season) , week 4(during the anticipated peak pollen phase), and week 6 (the end of season). ]
