About this study

Official title: Randomized, Double-blind Prospective Clinical Study to Examine the Mechanism of Action of IG-RD-001 (Ze-339) Compared to Desloratadine and Placebo in Patients With Seasonal Allergic Rhinitis Who Are Sensitized to Grasses

Randomised, double-blind and prospective clinical study to examine the mechanism of action of the Petasites hybridus leaf extract IG-RD-001 (Ze-339, petasol butenoate complex) compared to desloratadine and placebo in patients with seasonal allergic rhinitis of all degrees of severity (provoked by grasses). The treatment arm with desloratadine is an established standard treatment and is intended to ensure the comparative methodology of the study.

Being tested

What participants receive

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

  • PlaceboDrug

    Following a 3-way crossover treatment design (IG-RD-001 (Ze 339), desloratadine, placebo), a controlled, unilateral, nasal allergen provocation (grasses) will be carried out on 18 study participants. The time-dependent development of the nasal obstruction, measured via rhinomanometry before and after the allergen provocation, will be the effect parameter.

  • DesloratadinDrug

    Following a 3-way crossover treatment design (IG-RD-001 (Ze 339), desloratadine, placebo), a controlled, unilateral, nasal allergen provocation (grasses) will be carried out on 18 study participants. The time-dependent development of the nasal obstruction, measured via rhinomanometry before and after the allergen provocation, will be the effect parameter.

  • IG-RD-001 / Ze 339Drug

    Following a 3-way crossover treatment design (IG-RD-001 (Ze 339), desloratadine, placebo), a controlled, unilateral, nasal allergen provocation (grasses) will be carried out on 18 study participants. The time-dependent development of the nasal obstruction, measured via rhinomanometry before and after the allergen provocation, will be the effect parameter.

What is being measured

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

  1. The time-dependent development of the nasal obstruction, measured via rhinomanometry before and after the allergen provocation, will be the effect parameter.

    Measured: 0-24 hours post nasal provocation test

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Clinical symptom score (rhinorrhoea, nasal congestion, nasal itching and sneezing), assessment by the investigator (nasal secretion, irritation, occurrence of systemic symptoms), mediators in the serum, nasal secretion, nasal curettage and biopsy

    Measured: 0-24h post nasal provocation test

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Desloratadin and IG-RD-001 / Ze 339 in people with Seasonal Allergic Rhinitis, run by Max Zeller Soehne AG at 1 site in Germany.

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 19 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 26 Jan 2012. 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 Germany. 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?

The time-dependent development of the nasal obstruction, measured via rhinomanometry before and after the allergen provocation, will be the effect parameter. (time frame: 0-24 hours post nasal provocation test). 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 26 Jan 2012.
