Trial summary

House Dust Mites (HDM) are arachnids that infest bedding, carpet, upholstered furniture and fabric. Like many other allergens, exposure to HDM allergens in sensitised patients is associated with poorer lung function, greater medication requirements and more asthma symptoms as well as chronic rhinosinusitis symptoms.

About this study

Official title: An Optional Follow-Up Study to Evaluate the Continued Efficacy of ToleroMune HDM in House Dust Mite Allergic Subjects Following Challenge With House Dust Mite Allergen in an Environmental Exposure Chamber

House Dust Mites (HDM) are arachnids that infest bedding, carpet, upholstered furniture and fabric. Like many other allergens, exposure to HDM allergens in sensitised patients is associated with poorer lung function, greater medication requirements and more asthma symptoms as well as chronic rhinosinusitis symptoms. In contrast to other allergens, there is evidence that HDMA leads to the development of asthma, in addition to exacerbating pre-existing asthma in HDM-sensitised patients.

ToleroMune HDM is currently being developed for the treatment of HDM allergy.

The Purpose of this optional observational follow-on study is to evaluate the continued efficacy of TM-HDM in HDM allergic subjects based on change in TRSS from TH002 baseline approximately two years after the completion of the baseline EEC visit in TH002 following challenge with HDM allergen in an EEC.

Read the detailed description

Subjects who completed all dosing visits and the post treatment challenge (PTC) in study TH002 will be invited to attend the Screening visit for TH002a. Subjects will attend for 3 visits to the EEU on successive days. Following the last EEC visit a follow-up visit will be performed 3-10 days later.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of House Dust Mite Allergy and Rhinoconjunctivitis, run by Circassia Limited.

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 1 inclusion and 5 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 15 May 2014. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

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?

Total Rhinoconjunctivitis Symptom Scores (time frame: 2 years post after the completion of the baseline environmental exposure chamber (EEC) visit in TH002). 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 15 May 2014.
