About this study

Official title: Evaluation of the Specificity of Intradermal Test With Recombinant Tuberculosis Allergen in BCG Vaccinated Healthy Volunteers

The aim of this study is to test the recombinant tuberculosis skin test in the previously BCG vaccinated healthy adults with low risk of TB development, to determine the test specificity.

Read the detailed description

Recombinant tuberculosis allergen (RTA) is a recombinant fusion protein CFP10-ESAT6 produced by the prokaryotic cell line. The test is widely used in Russian Federation and CIS countries for the latent TB diagnosis in adults and children over 8 years old. The current clinical study is a prospective, multicenter, open-label study in the cohort of healthy adults, not classified as at risk of tuberculosis, with no clinical symptoms of the disease, with a negative T-SPOT.TB test results, to evaluate the specificity of the RTA test in 72 hours following administration of the product at a dose of 0.2 μg/0.1 mL.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Recombinant tuberculosis allergen (RTA)Diagnostic test

    Also called Diaskintest

    Single intradermal application of 0.2 µg/0.1 mL RTA (CFP10-ESAT6) in the middle of the forearm

Recombinant tuberculosis allergen (CFP10-ESAT6)ExperimentalRTA (CFP10-ESAT6) 0.2 µg/0.1 mL RTA given intradermally on the middle of the forearm
Receives: Diagnostic Test: Recombinant tuberculosis allergen (RTA)

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of the Volunteers With the True Negative RTA Result

    Absolute number and percentage of the volunteers with negative and positive test results with RTA based on the results of the assessment of the infiltrate 72 hours after the test application

    Measured: hour 72

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Number of Subjects With Local Adverse Reactions Within 72 Hours Following the Intradermal Test Application

    To assess the number of subjects who developed the injection site adverse reaction (redness, swelling etc) within 72 hours after RTA test application

    Measured: hour 72

  2. Number of Participants With General and Local Adverse Reactions Within 28 Days After Administration of RTA

    To assess the number of subjects who developed the general adverse reaction (e.g. infections, fever, headache, weakness etc) based on the subjects complaints and physical examination, and local injection site reaction (redness, swelling etc) up to 28 days after intradermal RTA application.

    Measured: Day 28

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Recombinant tuberculosis allergen (RTA) in people with Tuberculosis, run by National Medical Research Center of Phthisiopulmonology and Infectious Diseases at 1 site in Russia.

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 5 inclusion and 18 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 25 Aug 2023. 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 Russia. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 25 Aug 2023). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Number of the Volunteers With the True Negative RTA Result (time frame: hour 72). 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 NCT05203068, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 25 Aug 2023.
