About this study

Official title: A RANDOMISED, DOUBLE-BLIND, PLACEBO-CONTROLLED PILOT STUDY OF THE EFFICACY AND SAFETY OF WF10 IN SUBJECTS SUFFERING FROM PERSISTENT ALLERGIC RHINITIS

Objectives To assess the efficacy and safety of WF10 infusions in the treatment of subjects with persistent allergic rhinitis.

Study Design Randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group, single-centre trial.

Subjects 50 subjects (25 per treatment group) with history of persistent allergic rhinitis for at least 2 years prior to enrolment and a positive allergen skin test. Subjects will be required to have a minimum mean score ≥6 for the baseline Total Nasal Symptom Score (TNSS) (mean score of morning and evening reflective TNSS assessments for the 3 days prior to randomization and treatment.

Treatments At the first treatment visit (T1), subjects that comply with the inclusion and exclusion criteria will be randomized into one of two treatment groups: WF10, or placebo.

Each individual treatment dose of study drug solution is 0.5 mL/kg body weight, diluted into 500 mL saline solution. Treatment will be administered once daily for 5 consecutive days (Visits T1-T5) via intravenous infusion.

Being tested
WF10, NaCl Solution

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing WF10 and NaCl Solution in people with Allergic Rhinitis, run by Nuvo Research GmbH 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 12 inclusion and 15 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 Apr 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?

TNSS (time frame: 9 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 26 Apr 2012.
