About this study

Official title: A Double-Blind Phase IIb Study to Evaluate the Safety and Efficacy of Different Doses of Tyrosine Adsorbed Grass/Rye Pollen Allergoid With MPL in Patients Sensitized to Grass and Rye Pollen

Allergen-specific immunotherapy (SIT), the administration of gradually increasing quantities of an allergen extract to an allergic patient, is a curative approach which directly treats the underlying allergic disease. GrassMATAMPL has been developed to provide pre-seasonal specific immunotherapy for patients with an allergy to grass pollen (hay fever). The purpose of this double-blind Phase IIb study is to assess the tolerability and immunogenicity of different doses of GrassMATAMPL in volunteers allergic to grasses and rye pollen.

What participants receive

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

  • Grass MATAMPLBiological

What is being measured

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

  1. immunological response to the three GrassMATAMPL treatment arms compared to placebo (grass specific)

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. tolerability of different subcutaneous doses

  2. tolerability of the cumulative subcutaneous doses

  3. clinical chemistry and hematology

  4. number of adverse events

  5. number of adverse reactions

  6. immunological response to the three GrassMATAMPL treatment arms compared to placebo (rye specific)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Grass MATAMPL in people with Type I Hypersensitivity, run by Allergy Therapeutics at 3 sites in Canada.

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 25 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 18 May 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 3 sites in Canada. 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.

What does this phase mean?

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?

immunological response to the three GrassMATAMPL treatment arms compared to placebo (grass specific). 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 18 May 2021.
