About this study

Official title: ZU-SkinSIT-001 Single Center Phase I/IIa, Placebo Controlled, Randomized, Double Blind Study to Assess the Clinical Efficacy and Safety of a Novel Method of Specific Allergen Immunotherapy in Grass Pollen Allergic Subjects by Epicutanous Allergen Administration

Primary Objective Comparison of the inhibition of the allergic response assessed by nasal provocation test after epicutanous pollen allergen administration and placebo epicutaneous administration.

Secondary Objectives Comparison of the efficacy of the placebo with that of the epicutanous pollen allergen administration evaluated by visual analog symptom scales (nasal itching, sneezing, rhinorrhea, conjunctival redness, and lacrimation, lung symptoms ), Comparison of the inhibition of the allergic response assessed by skin prick test after epicutanous pollen allergen administration and placebo epicutaneous administration.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Pollen in people with Rhinoconjunctivitis, run by University of Zurich at 1 site in Switzerland.

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 5 inclusion and 25 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 6 Apr 2007. 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 Switzerland. 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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

efficacy. 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 6 Apr 2007.
