About this study

Official title: The Dysbiosis of the Intestinal Microbiota in Individuals With Allergic Rhinitis: an Observational Study (MICRORIN)

Allergic rhinitis (AR) is triggered by environmental allergens such as pollen and mites, and is associated with several symptoms such as itching and nasal congestion, sneezing or tearing and redness of the eyes. RA can affect patients life quality who suffer it, reducing the quality of sleep and cognitive function, causing irritability and fatigue and, consequently a decrease in work performance.

Because the existing pharmacological treatments for RA are not entirely effective, it is of interest to find other means to enhance the effects of these drugs and decrease more effectively the signs and symptoms associated with RA. In this context, RA has been related to an alteration of the intestinal microbiota (MI).However, there is a need to characterize in detail the MI of individuals who suffer RA.

The main objective of the present study is to characterize the MI of individuals with RA, compared with people without RA. In addition, the secondary objective is to study the association between characteristics of the MI of individuals with RA and different immunological markers.

What is being measured

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

  1. Intestinal microbiota characterization

    Taxonomic identification of the intestinal microbiota of the participants by sequencing the fecal DNA samples using MiSeq platform of Illumina in combination with 250/300PE.

    Measured: At Day 1

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Inflammatory markers in blood

    Quantification of the pro-inflammatory markers Interleuquin (IL)-6 and TNFalpha and of the anti-inflammatory marker IL-10 in blood by ELISA kits.

    Measured: At Day 1

  2. Immunological markers in faeces

    Quantification of Immunoglobulin (Ig) A levels in faeces by ELISA kit as a marker of intestinal inflammatory response.

    Measured: At Day 1.

  3. Immunological markers in blood

    Quantification of IgE by Phadiatop adults.

    Measured: At Day 1.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Allergic Rhinitis, run by Technological Centre of Nutrition and Health, Spain at 1 site in Spain.

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 15 inclusion and 19 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 28 Feb 2022. 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 Spain. 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?

Intestinal microbiota characterization (time frame: At Day 1). 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 28 Feb 2022.
