Testing a new injection method for cat allergy treatment

This trial is testing a new way to treat cat allergies using ALUTARD SQ Felis domesticus — a cat allergen extract — but delivered differently than standard allergy shots. Instead of the traditional approach that requires about 50 injections over 3 years, this medication is injected directly into a lymph node in your groin, with only 3 injections total. Researchers believe this new method might be safer and more effective because it uses much smaller doses and avoids areas of the body that could trigger severe allergic reactions.

Many people with cat allergies aren't offered traditional allergy treatment because it carries risks like asthma flare-ups or severe allergic reactions. This new approach aims to provide a safer alternative that might help more patients benefit from allergy immunotherapy.
