About this study

Official title: A Phase 0 Study Exploring the Use of Induced Skin Blisters in Adult Subjects With Atopic Dermatitis, Allergic Asthma and Atopic Healthy Subjects.

The purpose of this study is to characterize the cell (the basic building block of all living things) populations and inflammatory (pain and swelling) mediator responses in suction skin blister fluid after allergic skin reaction (ASR) [rash] induction with D. Pteronyssinus [house dust mite (HDM)], Alternaria alternata, or Aspergillus fumigatus allergens in participants with atopic dermatitis (AD) [Skin rash, Eczema] or allergic asthma (AA) [breathing disorder in which there is a wheezing and difficulty breathing].

Read the detailed description

This is an interventional (a treatment given during the course of a research study) and multicenter (when more than one hospital or medical school team work on a medical research study) study. The study will consist of 3 Phases: Screening Phase (Up to 4 weeks), Data Collection Phase (9 days) and, Follow-up Phase (7 days). The maximum study duration for each participant will not exceed 43 days. Primarily, the cell populations and inflammatory mediator responses in suction skin blister fluid after allergic skin reaction (ASR) will be assessed. Participants' safety will be monitored throughout the study.

What participants receive

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

  • Allergic Skin Reaction (ASR) Testing and Skin Blister InductionOther

    Participants will not receive any intervention in this study. Healthy participants will be enrolled in order to allow for training on the overall skin blister induction and fluid aspiration process. The cell populations and inflammatory mediator responses in suction skin blister fluid after allergic skin reaction (ASR) in participants with atopic dermatitis (AD) or allergic asthma (AA) will be observed.

What is being measured

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

  1. Cell Concentration in Suction Skin Blister Fluid After Allergic Skin Reaction (ASR) Induction with D. Pteronyssinus (House Dust Mite [HDM]), Alternaria alternata, or Aspergillus fumigatus Allergens

    Cells in the aspirated skin blister fluid will be separated and processed for cell population analysis by flow cytometry and messenger RNA (mRNA) analysis.

    Measured: Hour 4 after the end of the blister induction

  2. Cell Concentration in Suction Skin Blister Fluid After ASR Induction with D. Pteronyssinus (House Dust Mite), Alternaria alternata, or Aspergillus fumigatus Allergens

    Cells in the aspirated skin blister fluid will be separated and processed for cell population analysis by flow cytometry and mRNA analysis.

    Measured: Hour 24 after the end of the blister induction

  3. Levels of Inflammatory Mediators in Suction Skin Blister Fluid After ASR Induction with D. Pteronyssinus (House Dust Mite), Alternaria alternata, or Aspergillus fumigatus Allergens

    The remaining fluid from aspirated skin blister fluid after separated and processed for cell population analysis will be assessed for inflammatory mediator responses. Inflammatory cytokines and other soluble mediators in blister fluid will be measured by immunoassay.

    Measured: Hour 4 after the end of the blister induction

  4. Levels of Inflammatory Mediators in Suction Skin Blister Fluid After ASR Induction with D. Pteronyssinus (House Dust Mite), Alternaria alternata, or Aspergillus fumigatus Allergens

    The remaining fluid from aspirated skin blister fluid after separated and processed for cell population analysis will be assessed for inflammatory mediator responses. Inflammatory cytokines and other soluble mediators in blister fluid will be measured by immunoassay.

    Measured: Hour 24 after the end of the blister induction

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Success Percentage of Repeated Skin Blister Induction and Blister Fluid Aspiration

    Success percentage for blister induction will be defined as number of blisters formed with recovery of at least 200 microliter (μL) of blister fluid, divided by the total blisters induced.

    Measured: Day 1 and 8

  2. Cell Concentration in Suction Skin Blister Fluid After ASR Induction with Non-protease Allergens

    Cells in the aspirated skin blister fluid will be separated and processed for cell population analysis by flow cytometry and mRNA analysis.

    Measured: 4 and 24 Hours after the end of the blister induction

  3. Levels of Inflammatory Mediators in Suction Skin Blister Fluid After ASR Induction with Non-protease Allergens

    The remaining fluid from aspirated skin blister fluid after separated and processed for cell population analysis will be assessed for inflammatory mediator responses. Inflammatory cytokines and other soluble mediators in blister fluid will be measured by immunoassay.

    Measured: 4 and 24 Hours after the end of the blister induction

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Early Phase 1 study testing Allergic Skin Reaction (ASR) Testing and Skin Blister Induction in people with Dermatitis, Atopic and Asthma, run by Janssen Research & Development, LLC at 7 sites in 2 countries.

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 8 inclusion and 8 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 6 Oct 2015. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 7 sites in Germany, Belgium. 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?

Early Phase 1 (sometimes called Phase 0) studies give a very small amount of a treatment to a few people, mainly to see how the body handles it.

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?

Cell Concentration in Suction Skin Blister Fluid After Allergic Skin Reaction (ASR) Induction with D. Pteronyssinus (House Dust Mite [HDM]), Alternaria alternata, or Aspergillus fumigatus Allergens (time frame: Hour 4 after the end of the blister induction). The study lists 4 primary outcomes in all. 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 6 Oct 2015.
