Summary

This study tested whether adding omalizumab to standard allergy medications (antihistamines and nasal sprays) could better control symptoms in 337 adults and teens with severe Japanese cedar pollinosis. Participants had severe symptoms despite current treatments. The study compared omalizumab to a placebo over 12 weeks during pollen season, measuring nasal and eye symptom scores.
