About this study

Official title: Role of RhuMab-E25 in Reducing Exhaled NO in Allergic Asthma

A single center pilot study to determine the protective effects of RhuMAB-E25 on airway physiology and biology in allergic asthmatics that undergo bronchoprovocation with methacholine.

The primary study objective determines the protective impact of RhuMAB-E25 on airway inflammation as reflected in exhaled nitric oxide (NO) levels in allergic asthmatics.

The secondary objective determines the protective effect of rhuMAB E25 against airway bronchoconstriction as reflected in the Provocative Concentration of methacholine to cause a 20% fall in FEV1(PC20) with methacholine challenge testing.

Read the detailed description

This is a single center prospective, open-label study. Eligible subjects will undergo two baseline measurements of exhaled Nitric Oxide (NO) before and after methacholine challenge testing at least one week apart. All subjects will receive treatment with RhuMAB-E25 in an open label fashion at day 0, weeks 4 and 8, and undergo methacholine challenge and NO measurement at screening/baseline, weeks 0, 6, and 12. Complete Blood Count (CBC) will be done at screening/baseline, weeks 1, 2, 4, 8, and week 12. For women of childbearing potential, a screening pregnancy test will be done. All statistical analysis will occur at the conclusion of this study.

What participants receive

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

  • RhuMab-E25Drug

    Also called Omalizumab

    three subcutaneous injections spaced 1 month apart; dose based on subject weight and baseline IgE level.

What is being measured

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

  1. Change in Exhaled Nitric Oxide From Baseline to Week 12

    The primary outcome measure was the change in exhaled nitric oxide levels between baseline and week 12. 12 week value minus baseline value. (Baseline was -1 week, ie 1 week prior to the start of study drug)

    Measured: 13 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing RhuMab-E25 in people with Allergic Asthma, run by Duke University at 1 site in United States.

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 7 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 8 Feb 2016. 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 United States. 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 21 Oct 2009). 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?

Change in Exhaled Nitric Oxide From Baseline to Week 12 (time frame: 13 weeks). 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 8 Feb 2016.
