selected
Whole
allergen
Final product is a
room temperature
stable, lyophilized
vial containing a
mix of 7 peptides
for injection
Modern, synthetic, rationally-designed pharmaceuticals
ToleroMune® identifies T-cell epitopes
– Short linear stretches of amino acids in allergen sequence
– Binds to antigen presenting cells to induce regulatory T cells
– Identified from blood of allergic individuals
SPIREs – Synthetic Peptide Immuno-Regulatory Epitopes
Short treatment designed to provide efficacy without the safety issues
– Regulatory T cells down-regulate allergic response
– Lack of B-cell epitopes avoids cross-linking of mast cells eliminating
early response / no need to dose escalate
– Synthetic manufacture – no extraction from whole allergens
Broadly applicable across range of allergies
– Allergens already identified; no research required

Randomised, placebo-controlled parallel group chamber study
– Commercial-scale room-temperature stable formulation
202 subjects randomised
– 2 dosing regimens and placebo
Primary objective: evaluate efficacy in cat allergic subjects
following cat allergen challenge
Subjects in chamber 3 hours per day for 4 days at baseline and at
post-treatment challenge
– Controlled levels of cat dander (similar to house that has a cat)
– Symptoms recorded every 30 minutes
Comparison of symptom scores at challenge 5 months after
starting treatment to baseline

Overall TRSS improvement
of 2.1 vs. placebo (p = 0.05)
Total Rhinoconjunctivitis Symptoms Score (“TRSS”)
Patient self-rated scores used as primary efficacy
measure
Scoring system required by regulators
‒ Used for approval of intranasal steroids,
antihistamines etc
Scores measured on 4-point rating scale
‒ 0: absent
‒ 1: mild, barely noticeable
‒ 2: moderate, annoying / troublesome
‒ 3: severe, incapacitating
SPIRE studies use 8 symptoms = 24-point scale;
cat SPIRE used sneezing & runny / blocked / itchy
nose & itchy / watery / red / sore eyes
TRSS score of 8 could be 8 “mild / barely
noticeable scores”
TRSS score of 12 could be 4 “mild / barely
noticeable” and 4 “moderate / annoying” scores
Note: Based on non-asthmatic subjects
