Trial summary

The goal of the vaccination is to induce humoral (antibody) and intracellular (T lymphocyte) responses. Various data show that intradermal vaccination is more efficient than intramuscular vaccination: the humoral response is statistically better after intradermic vaccination, compared to intramuscular vaccination… Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: LBP003: Characteristics of the Changes in the Cutaneous Immune System After Intradermal Antigen Injections

The goal of the vaccination is to induce humoral (antibody) and intracellular (T lymphocyte) responses. Various data show that intradermal vaccination is more efficient than intramuscular vaccination: the humoral response is statistically better after intradermic vaccination, compared to intramuscular vaccination, even in target populations such as older subjects or immunosuppressed patients

Read the detailed description

Realisation of 2 groups of healthy subjects with 2 intradermal injection of 50 µl of tuberculin + 2 intradermal injection of 50 µl of physiological serum. 5 biopsy performed on 2 Tuberculin injection site, 2 physiological serum site and 1 on healthy skin site :

  • Group A : healthy young subjects(18 to 40 years old) : 18 subjects
  • Sub-group A1 (biopsy 30 minutes after injection) : 6 subjects
  • Sub-group A2 (biopsy 4 hours after injection) : 6 subjects
  • Sub-group A3 (biopsy 72 hours after injection) : 6 subjects
  • Group B : healthy old subjects(60 to 75 years old) : 18 subjects
  • Sub-group B1 (biopsy 30 minutes after injection) : 6 subjects
  • Sub-group B2 (biopsy 4 hours after injection) : 6 subjects
  • Sub-group B3 (biopsy 72 hours after injection) : 6 subjects

Determination of the best time (30 minutes, 4 hours or 72 hours)for intradermal vaccination caracteristics after group A and B data analysis. From these results, last group of immunosuppressed patients performed:Group C with 6 immunosuppressed patients (18 to 60 years old)

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Tuberculin antigenBiological

    2 intradermal injection of 50µl of antigen + 2 intradermal injection of 50µl of physiological serum

What is being measured

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

  1. Cellular changes of recruited cells by immunochemical and histological analysis in the three groups of subjects (healthy young subjects, healthy old subjects and immunosuppressed patients)

    Measured: 30 minutes, 4 hours or 72 hours

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Molecular analysis of cytokines and chemokines involved in recruitment and/or function of immunocompetent cells

    Measured: 30 minutes, 4 hours or 72 hours

  2. Comparison of changes in the cutaneous immune system between the three groups of subjects

    Measured: 30 minutes, 4 hours or 72 hours

Timeline

From the start of the study to its completion; the mark is today. Estimated dates are the sponsor’s plan.

  1. First posted16 Jul 2008 (estimated)
  2. Study startNov 2008
  3. Primary completionSep 2009
  4. Study completionSep 2009

Why it stopped: Third group realisation has not been necessary regarding the results of the first two groups (no sufficient modifications in the immune response)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Tuberculin antigen in people with Healthy and Immunosuppressed, run by Hospices Civils de Lyon at 1 site in France.

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 7 inclusion and 15 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 23 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 France. 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.

Are results available for this study?

The study was stopped early (reason given: Third group realisation has not been necessary regarding the results of the first two groups (no sufficient modifications in the immune response)). Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Cellular changes of recruited cells by immunochemical and histological analysis in the three groups of subjects (healthy young subjects, healthy old subjects and immunosuppressed patients) (time frame: 30 minutes, 4 hours or 72 hours). 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 23 Dec 2010; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 6 Nov 2026.
