About this study
Official title: Clinical Evaluation of T.R.U.E. TEST® Panel 3.2 Allergens: Bronopol and Disperse Blue 106 Dose Response Study
We propose a prospective, multi-center, double-blind, randomized study comparing the diagnostic performance (primary) and safety (secondary) of 3 concentrations of Disperse blue 106 and 4 concentrations of Bronopol in 40 adult subjects (20 subjects per allergen) with a clinical history of contact dermatitis and a positive patch test (current or previous) to the corresponding reference petrolatum allergen ("sensitives").
Read the detailed description
Primary endpoint:
To evaluate the diagnostic performance of Disperse blue 106 and Bronopol T.R.U.E. Test allergens in 20 adult subjects per allergen with a clinical history of contact dermatitis and a positive patch test to the respective reference allergen. Evaluations will include:
- Determination of the lowest concentration eliciting positive skin reactions (+1 or +2) in 70-90% of sensitive subjects.
- Frequency of positive, negative, doubtful and irritant reactions for each allergen and tested concentration.
- Concordance/discordance as compared to the corresponding reference petrolatum allergen.
Secondary endpoint:
To evaluate the safety of Disperse blue 106 and Bronopol T.R.U.E. Test allergens in 20 adult subjects per allergen with a clinical history of contact dermatitis and a positive patch test to the respective reference allergen. Evaluations will include:
- The frequency of tape-induced irritation at the test site, incomplete panel adhesion, and subject-reported sensations of itching or burning.
- The frequency and characterization of adverse events and serious adverse events.
- The frequency and characterization of late and/or persistent reactions.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Diagnostic Performance: Optimal Test Allergen Concentration
Lowest concentration eliciting 1+ or 2+ positive reactions in 70-90% of subjects
Measured: Visits 3-5: 3-21 days after application
Frequency of Positive, Negative, Doubtful and Irritant Reactions for Each Allergen and Concentration
Percentage (including confidence intervals) of subjects who elicited positive, negative, doubtful and irritant reactions to disperse blue at visit 3- all subjects
Measured: Visit 3: 3 days after application
Frequency of Positive, Negative, Doubtful and Irritant Reactions for Each Allergen and Concentration
Percent (including confidence intervals) of subjects who elicited positive, negative, doubtful and irritant reactions to disperse blue at visit 4- all subjects
Measured: Visit 4: 7 days after application
Frequency of Positive, Negative, Doubtful and Irritant Reactions for Each Allergen and Concentration
Percentage (including confidence intervals) of subjects who exhibited positive, negative, doubtful and irritant reactions to bronopol at visit 3- all subjects
Measured: Visit 3: 3 days after application
Frequency of Positive, Negative, Doubtful and Irritant Reactions for Each Allergen and Concentration
Percentage (including confidence intervals) of subjects who exhibited positive, negative, doubtful and irritant reactions to bronopol at visit 4- all subjects
Measured: Visit 4: 7 days after application
Concordance Between Investigational Allergen and Reference Allergen
Concordance between disperse blue or bronopol and the respective reference petrolatum allergen
Measured: Visit 5: 21 days after patch application
Secondary outcomes (2)
Frequency of Irritation (Tape Reactions), Late/Persistent Reactions and Subject-reported Itching or Burning
Percentage of subjects who exhibited irritation and itching or burning at patch removal (entire panel is evaluated) and late/persistent reactions.
Late reactions occur 7-10 days after patch application Persistent reactions initially occur at 2-4 days after application and persist through 7-21 days after application
Measured: Day 2-21
Adverse Events
The adverse event-reporting period began at application and ended with the Day 21 visit. Adverse events were followed until they resolved. Serious adverse events and those assessed by the investigator as possibly related to the investigational product were to be followed until they resolved or until the investigator assessed them as chronic or stable.
Measured: Days 0-21

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 2 study testing T.R.U.E. TEST® Skin Patch Test: Dose Response Allergens in people with Contact Dermatitis, run by Allerderm at 2 sites in 2 countries.
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 4 inclusion and 8 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 9 Apr 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 2 sites in United States, Denmark. 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 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?
Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 9 Apr 2018). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.
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?
Diagnostic Performance: Optimal Test Allergen Concentration (time frame: Visits 3-5: 3-21 days after application). The study lists 6 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 9 Apr 2018.
