Trial summary

In this study, participants will receive either intranasal anti-IgE-antibodies (n=5) or intranasal allergen (n=5) or intranasal placebo (n=5). Blood samples will be obtained before nasal administration of study drugs and 3, 5 and 8 weeks thereafter. In the serum samples, specific and total IgE levels will be assessed.

About this study

Official title: The Effect of Intranasal Application of Anti-IgE Antibodies on IgE Production in Patients Suffering From Seasonal Allergic Rhinitis - a Pilot Study

In this study, participants will receive either intranasal anti-IgE-antibodies (n=5) or intranasal allergen (n=5) or intranasal placebo (n=5). Blood samples will be obtained before nasal administration of study drugs and 3, 5 and 8 weeks thereafter. In the serum samples, specific and total IgE levels will be assessed.

Read the detailed description

The intranasal challenge study will be performed over 8 weeks outside of the birch pollen season (November to January) as a randomized, double blind and placebo-controlled study. During a screening visit, 15 individuals will be recruited according to eligibility criteria. They will be randomized into 3 groups (i.n. administration of anti-IgE antibodies, Bet v 1 or placebo). Intranasal administration will take place on three consecutive days and serum samples will be taken 3, 5, and 8 weeks (+/- 4 days) after the treatment for analysis of total and specific IgE levels

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing anti-IgE, intranasal allergen and intranasal saline in people with Allergy, run by Medical University of Vienna at 1 site in Austria.

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 1 inclusion and 1 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 12 Jan 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 Austria. 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.

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?

change of allergen-specific IgE (time frame: 8 weeks). 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 12 Jan 2017.
