About this study

Official title: Détermination de la réactivité cutanée de Volontaires Allergiques au Pollen de Bouleau Contre Des Peptides dérivés de Bet v 1

Assessment of skin reactivity by skin prick tests to synthetic peptides derived from the major birch allergen bet v 1, in subjects allergic to birch pollen.

Read the detailed description

The study tested - all by skin tests - in the same group of 20 trial subjects, one positive control (histamine solution), one negative control (placebo saline) and five experimental peptides called T1, T2, T3, T4 and T5. Results of the skin prick tests were scored as negative (no reaction) or positive (wheal diameter > 4 mm with erythema)

Being tested
placebo, Histamine, AllerT1, AllerT2, AllerT3
Keywords
allergy, birch
Medical subject headings

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Histamine, AllerT1 and AllerT2 in people with Allergic Rhinitis, run by Anergis at 1 site in Switzerland.

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 2 inclusion and 4 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 1 Nov 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 Switzerland. 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?

skin prick test reactivity (time frame: 15 minutes). 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 NCT01719133, 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 1 Nov 2012.
