What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. The primary endpoint is the change of the area under the curve (AUC)of the Symptom-Medication-Score (SMS)after 2 years of double-blind treatment to baseline

    Measured: November 2007 - February 2010

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Change of the AUC of the SMS after one year to baseline.

    Measured: 1 year

  2. Change of Nasal Eosinophil Cationic Protein (ECP) after 2 years to baseline

    Measured: 2 years

  3. Immunologic changes IgE, IgG1 and IgG4

    Measured: 2 years

  4. Tolerability and safety of treatments during the entire study period

    Measured: 4 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing specific immunotherapy with Acaroid, subcutaneously, Up-titration till strength B 0.6 mL (6000 TU) in people with Rhinoconjunctivitis, run by Allergopharma GmbH & Co. KG at 1 site in Germany.

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 3 inclusion and 2 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 11 Feb 2013. 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 Germany. 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 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

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?

The primary endpoint is the change of the area under the curve (AUC)of the Symptom-Medication-Score (SMS)after 2 years of double-blind treatment to baseline (time frame: November 2007 - February 2010). 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 11 Feb 2013.
