  • A female subject who is not of reproductive potential and a male subject who is diagnosed to be sterile is eligible without requiring the use of contraception. A female subject who is not of reproductive potential is defined as: one who has either
  • Reached natural menopause (defined as 6 months of spontaneous amenorrhea with serum follicle-stimulating hormone levels in the postmenopausal range as determined by the laboratory, or 12 months of spontaneous amenorrhea),

Subjects without a known history of allergy other than to HDM, but show any positive result (on CAP test) towards the allergens could be accepted in the judgement of the investigator.
  • Has any nasal condition that, in the judgement of the investigator, could confound the efficacy or safety assessments (e.g., nasal polyposis, nasal malformation, frequent nosebleeds, etc).
  • Has a history of anaphylaxis reaction to any known or unknown cause.
  • Has a history of chronic urticaria and/or angioedema within the last 2 years before Screening Visit.

About this study

Official title: A Ib/IIa Randomized, Placebo Controlled, Intranasal Administration Study on Safety, Tolerability and Potential Efficacy of AD17002 in Subjects With House Dust Mite (HDM) Allergic Rhinitis

A single center, double-blind, randomized, dose-escalation study to assess the safety, tolerability and efficacy of 3 doses of AD17002 in comparison to placebo. Subjects will be randomized at 3:1 ratios in each of 3 cohorts to receive AD17002 or placebo.

Read the detailed description

A single center, double-blind, randomized, dose-escalation study to assess the safety, tolerability and efficacy of 3 doses of AD17002 in comparison to placebo. Subjects will be randomized at 3:1 ratios in each of 3 cohorts to receive AD17002 or placebo. The following treatment cohorts are featured in a dose-escalating manner:

  1. Cohort 1 will comprise 16 subjects who will receive, in a double-blind manner, either 20 μg AD17002 (n=12) or placebo (n=4) on Study Day 1, 8, and 15.
  2. Cohort 2 will comprise 16 subjects who will receive, in a double-blind manner, either 40 μg AD17002 (n=12) or placebo (n=4) on Study Day 1, 8, and 15.
  3. Cohort 3 will comprise 16 subjects who will receive, in a double-blind manner, either 60 μg AD17002 (n=12) or placebo (n=4) on Study Day 1, 8, and 15.

A total of 16 subjects in cohort 1 will receive the assigned study preparation before the remainder of the Cohort. Study drug administration to the next subject for the first 8 subjects in the cohort 1 will be separated for at least one day elapse (at least 24 hrs). The progression to the next cohort will take place after the SRT review the whole follow-up period safety data of previous cohort.

What is being measured

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

  1. Safety and tolerance of AD17002 treatments in patients with HDM allergy as measured by incidence of adverse events

    • Vital signs
    • Physical examinations
    • Safety laboratory parameters (hematology and biochemistry)
    • Urine parameters
    • Adverse Events (CTCAE)
    • Nasal Cavity Examination and Tolerability Symptoms Scoring

    Measured: up to 51 days.

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Change in the total nasal symptoms score (TNSS)

    Chang in Sneezing, Rhinorrhea, Nasal congestion / Blockage and Pruritus are recorded in diary and averaged.

    Severity is graded between 0-3 for each symptom. 0 = no symptoms 1 = mild symptoms (sign/symptom clearly present, but minimal awareness; easily tolerated) 2 = moderate symptoms (definite awareness of sign/symptom that is bothersome but tolerable) 3 = severe symptoms (sign/symptom that is hard to tolerate; causes interference with activities of daily living and/or sleeping)

    Measured: up to 51 days.

  2. Change in the Rhinitis Daily Medication use Score (DMS)

    Antihistamine oral form (Desloratadine 5mg/day) could be used in the evening, if the total reflective TNSS reaches to 8 points or greater.

    4 points addition to subjects take the antihistamine and 0 to subjects do not.

    Measured: up to 51 days.

  3. Change in the the average of subject-reported combined TNSS and DMS

    Changes in the self-reported TNSS and DMS against baseline.

    Measured: up to 51 days.

  4. Change in the titers of HDM specific antibodies

    The titers of specific antibodies, IgA, IgE, IgG and IgG4, are measured by ImmunoCap methods(Phadia 100).

    Measured: up to 51 days.

  5. Change in the titers of Drug specific antibodies.

    The titers of specific antibodies, IgA, IgE and IgG, are measured by ImmunoCap methods(Phadia 100).

    Measured: up to 51 days.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing AD17002 and Formulation Buffer in people with Allergic Rhinitis, run by Advagene Biopharma Co. Ltd. at 1 site in Taiwan.

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 13 inclusion and 27 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 16 Sep 2025. 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 Taiwan. 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.

What does this combined phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

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?

Safety and tolerance of AD17002 treatments in patients with HDM allergy as measured by incidence of adverse events (time frame: up to 51 days.). 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 16 Sep 2025.
