About this study

Official title: Optimal Concentration of Allergen Extract of Dermatophagoides Pteronyssinus to be Used in Diagnostic Allergy Skin Prick Test Among Thai Population

The purpose of this study is to determine the appropriate concentration of diagnostic reagent of house dust mite (Dp) to be used in diagnostic allergy skin prick test among Thai population with allergic rhinitis.

Read the detailed description

The current allergy diagnostic reagent of house dust mites marketed in the USA is at 10,000 AU/ml. This is based on the IDEAL50 concept put forth by Turkeltaub et al, almost 3 decades ago. Such concentration has been shown to give large degree of false positives even in the US population.

In Thailand, it was anecdotally observed that at such concentration, sizes of positive tests among atopic subjects were quite large and could lead to discomfort and a possible anaphylaxis in certain allergic individuals. Moreover, up to 40% of normal individuals could give positive reaction to this concentration.

It is therefore desirable to reexamine the appropriate concentration of diagnostic reagent of house dust mites among the Thai population and will be the main objective of this research.

What is being measured

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

  1. appropriate concentration of diagnostic reagent of house dust mite (Dp)

    to determine appropriate dilutional concentration of diagnostic reagent of house dust mite (Dp) that has high sensitivity and positive predictive value and wheal size not more than 10 mm. to be used in diagnosis allergic rhinitis in Thai population by skin prick test.

    Measured: 15 minutes

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. false positive rates of various dilutions of diagnostic reagent (house dust mite: Dp) that be used in skin prick test in Thai healthy population

    Measured: 15 minutes

  2. false negative rates of various dilutions of diagnostic reagent (house dust mite: Dp) that be used for diagnosis allergic rhinitis in Thai population by skin prick test

    Measured: 15 minutes

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Rhinitis, Allergic, Perennial and Rhinitis, Allergic, Seasonal, run by Siriraj Hospital at 2 sites in Thailand.

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 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 30 Jul 2010. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in Thailand. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Professor Pakit Vichyanond, MD (02-419-9465-6, pakitv@gmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

appropriate concentration of diagnostic reagent of house dust mite (Dp) (time frame: 15 minutes). 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 30 Jul 2010.
