About this study

The prevalence of allergic diseases (atopic dermatitis, asthma, rhinitis, conjunctivitis and food allergy) has increased dramatically in industrialized countries over the last 20-30 years.

Allergic diseases are present especially in children and young adults, but all age groups are affected, with variations across countries and age. To propose new therapies, the investigators must first understand the physiopathology.

Since their discovery the regulatory T cells have continued to be the subject of work to understand their role in maintaining immune homeostasis in the human body but also their involvement in autoimmune diseases, inflammatory diseases, transplants of solid organs or fluids and allergic diseases.

It was identified two broad classes of regulatory T cells:

  • T cells = natural regulators acquisition of a phenotype and a regulatory function right out of the thymus ( CD25 + / CD127 + low / FoxP3 +).
  • T cells induced regulators = acquisition of a phenotype and a regulatory function on the periphery depending on the cytokine micro-environment.

Phenotypic characterization of these is less obvious and even more so than during the last ten years several induced regulatory T cell populations have been described ( eg, Tr1 ).

A new subpopulation of T cells induced in patients with inflammatory bowel disease recently identified have a particular phenotype as bearing the CD4 and CD8 double marking with a regulatory phenotype.

These regulatory T cells are also induced a specific of a commensal intestinal bacterium (Faecalibacterium prausnitzii).

Regarding allergies, it has been widely demonstrated a relationship between changes of the intestinal microbiota and the occurrence of allergic diseases.

The investigators would therefore propose a cross-sectional study, single-center, controlled, single blinded to study the role of T cells called double positive induced regulators DP8 to compare the frequency and the regulatory function of specific DP8 of Faecalibacterium prausnitzii in atopic dermatitis, asthma and allergic rhinitis compared to control samples.

Read the detailed description

The primary endpoint will be the highlight of a quantitative reduction of double positive T cells (CD4 + / CD8 +) the specific F prausnitzii peripheral blood in patients with allergic asthma, allergic rhinitis and atopic dermatitis compared to samples from a control sample collection made available by the laboratory BIOFORTIS® located near Nantes University of Nantes.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Allergic Asthma and Allergic Rhinitis, run by Nantes University Hospital at 1 site in France.

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 6 inclusion and 14 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 13 Sep 2021. 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 France. 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?

average percentage of double positive T cells CD4 + / CD8 + compared to the average percentages of total T lymphocytes (CD3 +), CD4 + and the total number of peripheral blood formed elements (time frame: 3 months). 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 13 Sep 2021.
