6. A positive skin prick test to Artemisia vulgaris with a wheal diameter of ≥ 3 mm, confirmed using appropriate positive and negative controls;
7. Presence of specific immunoglobulin E (IgE) to Artemisia vulgaris major allergen Art v 1 at Class ≥ 2, determined using ImmunoCAP technology;
8. Sensitization to Artemisia vulgaris associated with clinically significant allergic symptoms for which allergen-specific immunotherapy (ASIT) is indicated;
9. Laboratory and instrumental test results within normal ranges or showing deviations not considered clinically significant by the investigator;
10. Body mass index (BMI) between 18.5 and 30.0 kg/m², inclusive;
11. Normal body temperature, defined as 35.5 °C to 36.6 °C, inclusive;

14. Agreement to use adequate contraception methods from screening until 90 days after completion of the study.
Exclusion Criteria:
1. Previous allergen-specific immunotherapy (ASIT) to Artemisia vulgaris or any other cross-reactive allergen within the past 5 years, or current ASIT to any allergen;
2. Concomitant sensitization that may interfere with study conduct or interpretation, particularly if the skin prick test response to another allergen exceeds that to Artemisia vulgaris;
3. Severe asthma or forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV₁) ≤ 80% predicted, even if pharmacologically controlled;

7. Myocardial infarction, acute cerebrovascular accident, transient ischemic attack, or pulmonary embolism within 6 months prior to study entry (Visit 0), or large aortic aneurysm (\>6 cm);
8. Coronary artery bypass grafting or coronary stenting within 3 months prior to study entry (Visit 0);
9. Any other condition that, in the opinion of the investigator, may interfere with interpretation of study results or limit the participant's ability to complete the study;
10. Malignancy of any localization currently or within 5 years prior to enrollment, except for completely treated carcinoma in situ;
11. History of severe renal insufficiency;
12. History of severe hepatic insufficiency;
13. Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection, syphilis, hepatitis B virus, and/or hepatitis C virus infection;
11. Exacerbation of chronic allergic skin diseases (e.g., atopic dermatitis, generalized urticaria) as determined by physical examination;
12. Substance abuse, including alcohol, narcotics, or prescription drug abuse, within the past year and/or during the study;
13. For women of reproductive potential: pregnancy and/or lactation;
