First Sublingual Immunotherapy Tablet for House Dust Mite Allergic Rhinitis May Be US-bound

Merck already has two FDA-approved SLIT tablets developed with ALK on the U.S. market: Grastek, for treatment of grass pollen–induced allergic rhinitis in children and adults, and Ragwitek, for ragweed-induced allergic disease in adults.

The trial was sponsored by Merck and presented by a full-time company employee.
