About this study

Official title: An Open Phase I Clinical Trial on the Safety and Risk of Sensitisation by Escalating Doses and Repeated Injections of the rdESAT-6 + rCFP-10 Skin Test Reagent Following Intradermal Administration to Healthy Adults

The primary objective is to assess the safety of three dose levels (0.01, 0.1 and 1.0 µg) of the rdESAT-6 + rCFP-10 skin test reagent when injected into healthy adults. The secondary objective is to assess the risk of sensitisation of 0.01 and 0.1 µg rdESAT-6 + rCFP-10 when injected twice with time intervals of 6 or 12 weeks to healthy adults.

What is being measured

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

  1. Local and systemic adverse events with onset after the FIRST (0.01, 0.1 and 1.0 µg) or SECOND (0.01 and 0.1 µg) injection

    Measured: onset between the first injection and 28 days after the second injection

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. The diameter of induration at the second injection site measured transversely to the long axis of the forearm

    Measured: 72 hours after the second injection

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing rdESAT-6 + rCFP-10 in people with Tuberculosis, run by Statens Serum Institut at 1 site in Denmark.

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 5 inclusion and 16 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 21 Jan 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 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 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

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?

Local and systemic adverse events with onset after the FIRST (0.01, 0.1 and 1.0 µg) or SECOND (0.01 and 0.1 µg) injection (time frame: onset between the first injection and 28 days after the second injection). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00793702, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 21 Jan 2013.
