About this study

Official title: A Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled Study Investigating the Immunologic Effects and Safety of 60-day Treatment of the ALK HDM Tablets in Adult Subjects With Allergic Rhinitis and/or Atopic Asthma Induced by House Dust Mites

To demonstrate superiority of ALK HDM tablets versus placebo in immune response, measured as change of D.farinae specific immunoglobulin G4 (IgG4) from baseline to end of treatment with ALK HDM tablets given once daily over 60 days.

Read the detailed description

To demonstrate superiority of ALK HDM tablets versus placebo in the immune response, measured as change of D. Farinae specific IgG4 from baseline to end of treatment with ALK HDM tablets given once daily over 60 days

To evaluate the immune response, measured as change of D. pteronyssinus, D. farinae specific immunoglobulin E (IgE) and D. pteronyssinus specific IgG4 from baseline to end of treatment with ALK HDM tablets given once daily over 60 days, compared to placebo

To evaluate in patients with HDM-allergic respiratory disease the safety and tolerability of 60-day treatment with ALK HDM tablets compared to placebo

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Mitizax in people with Allergy and Asthma, run by Abbott at 9 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 11 inclusion and 21 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 Mar 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 9 sites in Russia, Belarus. 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 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

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

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 18 Dec 2017). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

D. Farinae Specific IgG4 Change From Baseline to End of Treatment (time frame: 60 days from baseline). 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 1 Mar 2018.
