About this study

Official title: A Phase IV, Randomised, Multicentre, Double-blind, Study to Evaluate the Clinical Utility of Prospective Genetic Screening (HLA-B*1301) for Susceptibility to Dapsone Hypersensitivity Syndrome

This Study is to evaluate the utility of prospective HLA-B*1301 screening on the incidence of dapsone hypersensitivity syndrome (DHS) in 3130 previously Dapsone(DDS)-naive patients. Those patients include allergic cutaneous vasculitis, urticaria, psoriasis, acne, bullous skin diseases, sterile pustulosis, leprosy, pneumocystis pneumonia and any other patients who need dapsone administration. The study has two (co-primary) objectives: i) to determine if screening for HLA-B*1301 prior to DDS-containing treatment results in a lower incidence of clinically-suspected DHS versus current standard of care (no genetic screening) and ii) to determine if screening for HLA-B*1301 prior to DDS-containing treatment results in a significantly lower incidence of immunologically-confirmed DHS versus current standard of care (no genetic screening or patch testing). The study consists of up to a 5-day screening period, a randomised observation period (Day 1 through Week 6) and, for subjects experiencing a suspected DHS and a subset of DDS-tolerant subjects, an epicutaneous patch test (EPT) assessment period. Eligible subjects will be randomised to one of two study arms: a Current Standard of Care Arm (no prospective genetic screening: Control) and a Genetic Screening Arm (prospective genetic screening: Case). Subjects identified as HLA-B*1301 positive in the prospective Genetic Screening Arm will not receive dapsone and will be excluded from further study. Subjects who experience suspected DHS during the 6-week observation would be withdrawn from dapsone and undergo EPT patch testing 6 weeks later.

Being tested
Dapsone, HLA-B*1301

What participants receive

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

  • DapsoneDrug

    For the HLA-B*1301 positive subjects, dapsone will not be administrated.

  • HLA-B*1301Genetic

    The prospective genetic screening group will be tested before administrating dapsone

What is being measured

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

  1. Incidence of clinically-suspected DHS during the 6-week observation period

    The primary outcome measure will be the total number of clinically suspected Dapsone induced hypersensitivity syndrome during the 6-week observation period in both the prospective-screening group and control group, as reported by the DHS incidence (DHS patients/ total participants).

    Measured: 6 weeks

  2. Incidence of immunologically-confirmed DHS during the 6-week observation period

    The primary outcome measure will be the total number of immunologically confirmed Dapsone induced hypersensitivity syndrome during the 6-week observation period in both the prospective-screening group and control group, as reported by the DHS incidence (DHS patients/ total participants).

    Measured: 6 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Dapsone and HLA-B*1301 in people with Allergic Cutaneous Vasculitis and Urticaria, run by Shandong Provincial Institute of Dermatology and Venereology at 1 site in China.

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 9 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 3 Mar 2017. 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 China. 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 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

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 Yonghu Sun, PhD (+86-531-87298870, hongyue2519@hotmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Incidence of clinically-suspected DHS during the 6-week observation period (time frame: 6 weeks). The study lists 2 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 3 Mar 2017.
