Trial summary

This study involves a FDA approved drug, Omalizumab, used in the treatment of moderate to severe allergic asthma that cannot be controlled by standard treatment. It works on IgE to control the allergic reaction. We are looking at the effects on non-allergic asthma. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Soluble CD23 Expression as a Marker of Immunomodulation and CLinical Response in Asthma Patients Treated With Omalizumab

This study involves a FDA approved drug, Omalizumab, used in the treatment of moderate to severe allergic asthma that cannot be controlled by standard treatment. It works on IgE to control the allergic reaction. We are looking at the effects on non-allergic asthma. We hope to prove that Omalizumab will have the same effect on non-allergic asthmatics as it does allergic asthmatics.

Read the detailed description

This is a 1 year placebo controlled study looking at moderate to severe asthmatics (allergic or non-allergic) who are controlled by medication.

Skin testing will be done to determine the allergic status, as well as a base line IgE done. The Omalizumab is administered by injection based on weight and IgE level, (once or twice a month).

At several times during the year pulmonary function test will be done, as well blood drawn for immunological assays (CD23 and FcER1 expression, TH1/TH2 cytokines, CD23 production). A battery of questionnaires will also determine quality of life(with asthma), psychological stress measures and parameters of clinical response.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Omalizumab in people with Asthma, run by University of Mississippi Medical Center 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 1 inclusion and 1 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 1 Dec 2008. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study was stopped early (reason given: Completed). 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?

Measure of sCD23 in plasma. The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 1 Dec 2008.
