About this study

Official title: A Double-blind, Randomized, Placebo-controlled, Cross-over, Allergen Challenge Study to Evaluate the Efficacy, Safety and Tolerability of BLX-028914 in Subjects With Allergic Rhinitis

This is a phase II study in patients with seasonal allergic rhinitis (SAR) and will compare the effect versus placebo of two different oral doses of BLX-028914 in an allergen challenge model. BLX-028914, a selective phosphodiesterase-4 (PDE4) inhibitor with a promising safety profile,is currently under development for treatment of airway diseases by Orexo AB, Sweden.

The aim of this study is to compare the effect, safety and tolerability of 14 days treatment with BLX-0289014 in patients with SAR in an allergen challenge model versus placebo.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing BLX-028914 in people with Allergic Rhinitis, run by Dart NeuroScience, LLC at 1 site in Sweden.

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 13 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 13 Mar 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 Sweden. 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?

Post allergen challenge; Total Nasal Symptom Score(TNSS) (time frame: 10 minutes after allergen challenge). 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 13 Mar 2013.
