* 7\. Adequate level of rhinitis symptoms in a grass pollen challenge, defined as a Total Nasal Symptom Score (TNSS) of at least 6 (of 12) within the 2-hour grass pollen challenge at performed at the Screening ACC visit (V2).

Exclusion Criteria:
* 1\. Any clinically relevant abnormal findings in physical examination, clinical chemistry, hematology, urine analysis, vital signs, lung function or Electrocardiogram (ECG) at screening visit , which, in the opinion of the investigator, may either put the subject at risk because of participation in the study or may influence the results of the study, or the subject's ability to participate in the study
* 2\. Past or present disease, which as judged by the investigator, may affect the outcome of this study. These diseases include, but are not limited to, cardiovascular disease, malignancy, hepatic disease, renal disease, hematological disease, neurological disease, endocrine disease or pulmonary disease (including but not confined to chronic bronchitis, emphysema, tuberculosis, bronchiectasis or cystic fibrosis).

* 6\. Asthma requiring more than inhaled short-acting beta-2 agonists.
* 7\. Conditions or factors, which would make the subject unlikely to be able to stay in the Fraunhofer ACC for 4 hours.
* 8\. Any contraindication for adrenalin use (e.g. use of local and systemic beta-blockers, angiotensin-converting-enzyme (ACE) inhibitors
* 9\. Treatment with antipsychotic medications with antihistaminic effect (e.g. chlorpromazine, levomepromazine, clozapine, olanzapine, tioridazine)
