Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Treatment: Drugs - Delta-inulin
Treatment: Other - Dose finding comparison

Experimental: 25mcg JJA venom - Subjects will receive semi-rush JJA VIT (without delta-inulin) aiming to achieve a maintenance dose of JJA venom of 25mcg (dose finding comparison).

Experimental: 25mcg JJA venom + 5mg delta-inulin - Subjects will receive semi-rush JJA VIT with delta-inulin (at a fixed dose of 5 mg with each dose of venom) aiming to achieve a maintenance dose of JJA venom of 25mcg (dose finding comparison, adjuvant comparison).

Active comparator: 50mcg JJA venom - Subjects will receive semi-rush JJA VIT (without delta-inulin) aiming to achieve a maintenance dose of JJA venom of 50mcg, ie. the current standard of care.

Experimental: 50mcg JJA venom + 5mg delta-inulin - Subjects will receive semi-rush JJA VIT with delta-inulin (at a fixed dose of 5 mg with each dose of venom) aiming to achieve a maintenance dose of JJA venom of 50mcg (adjuvant comparison).


Treatment: Drugs: Delta-inulin
Addition of adjuvant, delta-inulin to JJA VIT regime, to determine if this will allow lower doses and shorter regimes to promote protective responses, reducing costs and morbidity of JJA VIT.

Treatment: Other: Dose finding comparison
Define minimum effective maintenance dose (50mcg vs 25mcg). In "real world" sting challenges after 12 months of JJA VIT objective systemic reaction rates after 50 and 100 mcg maintenance doses respectively 14/130 and 12/126 subjects vs reaction rates to stings in similar subjects without JJA VIT 70-76%. Venom delivery in sting likely \<20mcg. Therefore minimum effective maintenance dose not yet defined.

Eligibility
Key inclusion criteria
* Previous immediate systemic allergic reaction to definite or possible JJA sting.
* Venom-specific lgE response to JJA venom (by intradermal skin testing or serological analysis).
* Age between 18 and 65 years at the time of starting treatment.
* Gives informed consent, including acknowledgement that any protection from JJA sting anaphylaxis may be short lived and that JJA VIT and in particular, JJA sting challenges have the potential to cause systemic allergic reactions, including anaphylaxis.
Minimum age
18 Years
Maximum age
65 Years
Sex
Both males and females
Can healthy volunteers participate?
No
Key exclusion criteria
* Pregnant (women of child-bearing age will have a urine pregnancy test on first day of treatment) or intended pregnancy during treatment.
* Beta-blocker, ACE-inhibitor or mono-amine oxidase therapy for any reason.
* Unstable heart disease.
* Poorly controlled lung disease; defined as being severe enough to cause breathlessness on mild or moderate exertion, i.e. unable to walk up a modest incline.
* Any other chronic or severe medical condition which puts the patient at increased risk if they participated in this study in the investigators opinion.
* Previous JJA VIT, any ongoing immunotherapy or use of immunosuppressive drugs.
* Raised baseline mast cell tryptase
