About this study

Official title: Clinical Evaluation of T.R.U.E. TEST® Panel 3.2 Allergens: Gold Sodium Thiosulfate, Hydrocortisone-17-Butyrate, Methyldibromoglutaronitrile, Bacitracin, Parthenolide, Disperse Blue 106, and Bronopol

We propose an open, prospective, multi-center Phase III study to evaluate the diagnostic performance and safety of seven new T.R.U.E. Test allergens: Gold sodium thiosulfate, Hydrocortisone-17-butyrate, Bacitracin, Parthenolide, Methyldibromoglutaronitrile, Disperse blue 106, and Bronopol.Allergen performance and safety will be evaluated in adult patients with suspected contact dermatitis, and in adult patients with a known or suspected sensitization to at least one of the seven allergens.

Read the detailed description

Primary endpoint:

The performance (efficacy) of each allergen will be evaluated in adult patients with suspected contact dermatitis, and in adult patients with a known or suspected sensitization to at least one of the seven allergens. Performance will be based on:

  • Calculated concordance/discordance between T.R.U.E. Test Panel 3.2 allergens and their corresponding petrolatum or aqueous-based allergens.
  • Calculated sensitivity and specificity for T.R.U.E. Test Panel 3.2 allergens.

Secondary endpoint:

To evaluate the safety of seven T.R.U.E. Test Panels 3.2 allergens (Gold sodium thiosulfate, Hydrocortisone-17-butyrate, Methyldibromoglutaronitrile, Bacitracin, Parthenolide, Disperse blue 106 and Bronopol) in adult subjects with suspected contact dermatitis ("consecutives"), and/or in adult subjects with a clinical history of contact dermatitis and a current or previous positive patch test to one (or more) of these 7 allergens ("sensitives"). Evaluations will be based on:

  • The frequency and characterization of late and/or persistent reactions, tape-induced irritation at the test site, incomplete panel adhesion, and subject-reported sensations of itching or burning during the test period.
  • The frequency of adverse events and serious adverse events.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing T.R.U.E. TEST® Skin Patch Test: Dose Response Allergens in people with Contact Dermatitis, run by Allerderm at 5 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 12 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 5 May 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 5 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 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 22 Dec 2015). 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: Concordance Between Investigational Allergen and Reference Allergen at Day 21 (time frame: Visit 5: 21 days after patch application). The study lists 14 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 5 May 2020.
