Allergic AsthmaPhase 4NCT00208234
Effect of Xolair on Airway Hyperresponsiveness
A Phase 4 study testing Omalizumab in people with Allergic Asthma, run by Creighton University at 1 site in United States.
Trial summary
The purpose of this study is to determine if Xolair can reduce the abnormal increase in limitation to airflow in patients with asthma in a relatively short time period. Another purpose is to determine if Xolair will decrease the amount of inflammation in the lungs of an asthmatic patient in the same time period. Read more about this study

About this study
Official title: The Effects of Xolair (Omalizumab) on Airway Hyperresponsiveness
The purpose of this study is to determine if Xolair can reduce the abnormal increase in limitation to airflow in patients with asthma in a relatively short time period. Another purpose is to determine if Xolair will decrease the amount of inflammation in the lungs of an asthmatic patient in the same time period.
Read the detailed description
Xolair, a recombinant humanized monoclonal anti-IgE antibody, has been studied extensively and proven efficacious in the treatment of asthma and other allergic disorders. In moderate to severe allergic asthmatic patients, Xolair reduced asthma exacerbations and improved symptoms. However, there is limited data on the effects of Xolair on airway hyperreactivity, an important component of asthma.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
To determine if treatment with omalizumab induces changes in PC20 values to methacholine bronchoprovocation challenges and/or PC15 values to hypertonic saline-induced bronchoprovocation challenges in a time-dependent manner in steroid naive subjects
Measured: post treatment
Secondary outcomes (1)
Determine in steroid naive allergic asthma subjects whether omalizumab decreases exhaled NO and sputum eosinophilia, markers of airway inflammation, in time-dependent fashion and to correlate these effects with those measured for airway responsiveness
Measured: post treatment

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 4 study testing Omalizumab in people with Allergic Asthma, run by Creighton University at 1 site in United States.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 8 inclusion and 10 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 23 Sep 2011. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
What does this phase mean?
Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.
Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.
Are results available for this study?
Results are not available in the source record.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
To determine if treatment with omalizumab induces changes in PC20 values to methacholine bronchoprovocation challenges and/or PC15 values to hypertonic saline-induced bronchoprovocation challenges in a time-dependent manner in steroid naive subjects (time frame: post treatment). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 23 Sep 2011.
