About this study

Official title: A Study Of The Effects Of OC000459 On Responses To Allergen Challenge In The Vienna Chamber In Subjects Known To Suffer From Grass Pollen Induced Allergic Rhinitis

The study will assess the efficacy of OC000459 200 mg twice daily orally in comparison to placebo when subjects are challenged in the Vienna Challenge Chamber for 6 hours. This is a randomised, double blind, placebo controlled, two way crossover evaluation. There will be a screening period of up to three weeks and a washout period of at least one week between the two treatment periods. There will be a follow up one to three weeks after the last dose of study drug.

What is being measured

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

  1. Efficacy of OC00045 on response to allergen challenge as measured by change in Total Nasal Symptom Score

    To assess the efficacy of OC000459 200 mg twice daily orally in comparison to placebo when subjects are challenged in the Vienna Challenge Chamber for 6 hours as shown by the effect on Total Nasal Symptom Score

    Measured: 8 days

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. OC000459 safety as determined by adverse events, laboratory parameters, lung function and vital signs

    To assess the safety of this treatment schedule in male subjects with allergic rhinitis as assessed via adverse events, clinical chemistry and haematology, FEV1 and vital signs.

    Measured: 8 days

  2. OC000459 plasma concentration (Cmin)

    To assess plasma levels of OC000459 at the time of allergen challenge (trough plasma level).

    Measured: 8 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing OC000459 in people with Allergic Rhinitis, run by Oxagen Ltd at 1 site in Austria.

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 6 inclusion and 4 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 2011. 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 Austria. 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 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?

Efficacy of OC00045 on response to allergen challenge as measured by change in Total Nasal Symptom Score (time frame: 8 days). 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 NCT01448902, 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 7 Oct 2011.
