About this study

Official title: Double Blind Study of Leukotriene Antagonism in the Nasal Recruitment of CD49d Expressing Neutrophils in Atopic Subjects

The purpose of this study is to see if the recruitment of a certain cell type (the alpha 4 integrin (CD49d) expressing neutrophil) during a nasal allergen challenge can be inhibited by pretreatment with an FDA approved leukotriene antagonist (montelukast).

Read the detailed description

Subjects will be consented, undergo skin testing, medical history questionnaires, and randomized to either placebo or montelukast (10 mg). In one week, subjects return, undergo a blood draw, medical history questionnaires, nasal lavage, and nasal allergen challenge (followed by lavage in 6 hours). Subjects will then cross-over to the other study drug. One week later subjects will undergo a blood draw, medical history questionnaires, lavage, allergen challenge, and repeat lavage (after 6 hours).

Conditions
Nasal Allergy
Being tested
Nasal lavage, Nasal allergen challenge, Epicutaneous skin testing, Peripheral blood, Montelukast 10Mg Tablet

What is being measured

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

  1. Change in frequency in CD49d+ neutrophils in the nasal lavage post-allergen challenge on placebo versus Montelukast.

    The primary outcome will be the change in frequency (as assessed by flow cytometry) in CD49d+ neutrophils in the nasal lavage post-allergen challenge on placebo versus Montelukast.

    Measured: 1 month

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Change in clinical response following nasal allergen challenge after one week of treatment with Montelukast.

    Secondary outcomes will be whether treatment with Montelukast for one week changes the clinical response to nasal allergen challenge (i.e., sneezing, itching, etc.) as documented in the validated Sino Nasal Outcome Test (SNOT)-20 questionnaire.

    Measured: 1 month

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Nasal lavage, Nasal allergen challenge and Epicutaneous skin testing in people with Nasal Allergy, run by Mitchell Grayson at 1 site in United States.

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 7 inclusion and 12 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 7 Oct 2019. 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 United States. 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 in frequency in CD49d+ neutrophils in the nasal lavage post-allergen challenge on placebo versus Montelukast. (time frame: 1 month). 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 NCT03039101, which also lists 8 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 7 Oct 2019.
