About this study
The purpose of the study is to investigate the incidence of non-allergic rhinitis on a not selected group of young students (n=100-300). Students will be selected by public posting. In all students an allergy skin test will be performed. Then the local IgE of 24 subjects with non-allergic rhinitis will be compared to the local IgE of 24 subjects with allergic rhinitis and positive prick test to house dust mite. In addition 20 controlls will be investigated. Based on these investigations, the importance of local IgE and the IgE spectrum in conjunction with rhinitis should be further clarified.
Read the detailed description
20% of Germans suffer from seasonal or all-season rhinitis. Despite typical allergic symptoms, in a part of the affected patients (about 10-20%) an allergy cannot be found on skin prick test or blood. Therefore, the planned trial will investigate the incidence of allergic and non-allergic rhinitis in a non selected group of young students (n=100-300). The hypothesis postulates that in test subjects with non-allergic rhinitis the allergy can only be proven locally in nasal secretion.
From the initial large cohort of patients, 24 subjects with house dust mite allergy and allergic rhinitis and 24 patients with non-allergic rhinitis will be selected and investigated in more detail at a second visit. At the second visit, blood and nasal secretion (measurement of local IgE) will be taken from all pre-selected 48 patients. At visit 2 a nasal provocation test with house dust mite allergen will be performed in all patients to compare nasal symptoms with the results of local IgE between patient groups. In addition the same investigations will be performed in a group of 20 healthy non-allergic subjects.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A study testing Observation in people with Perennial Rhinitis, run by Johann Wolfgang Goethe University Hospital at 1 site in Germany.
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 3 inclusion and 7 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 30 Nov 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 Germany. 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.
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?
Comparison of IgE between 24 subjects with non-allergic rhinitis, 24 subjects with allergic rhinitis and 20 healthy subjects. (time frame: one year). 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 NCT02810535, which also lists 6 linked publications.
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 30 Nov 2017; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 7 Nov 2026.
