About this study

Official title: Immunotherapy With Depigmented and Polymerized Allergen Extract of Phleum Pratense in Patients Suffering From Allergic Rhinoconjunctivitis and/or Asthma

The objective of this trial is to evaluate the clinical effectiveness of the administration of a depigmented and polymerized allergen extract of Phleum pratense in the rhinoconjunctivitis and/or asthma of slight or moderate intensity, due to allergy to grass pollen.

Read the detailed description

Immunotherapy is a specific treatment for allergic diseases. Unlike conventional pharmacological treatment, immunotherapy is the only treatment that could modify the natural course of allergic disease. This is a prospective double-blind placebo controlled study with three arms of treatment: placebo and two active (one of the active arms will receive a dose that is 10x the dose of the other arm).

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Immunotherapy with modified extract of P. pratense pollen in people with Rhinitis, Allergic, Seasonal and Conjunctivitis, Allergic, run by Laboratorios Leti, S.L. at 1 site in Spain.

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 6 inclusion and 9 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 17 Dec 2010. 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 Spain. 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 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

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?

Symptom scores (time frame: 1 year). 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 17 Dec 2010.
