What is being measured

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

  1. Number and Seriousness of Both Local and Systemic Adverse Reactions

    The primary end points were the number of ARs and the severity of local and systemic ARs (SARs) to SCIT administration. Proportions were compared between study arms. The tolerability of SCIT was evaluated by early and late local reactions (i.e., local swelling and redness) and systemic reactions after each injection (any symptoms from organs distant from the location of the injection). Reactions were classified depending on the severity and onset of the reaction, according to the EAACI classification (Alvarez-Cuesta 2006).

    Measured: From informed consent signature (V0) until the end of patient participation in the study (depending on the treatment assigned between 4 and 8 weeks )

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Immunoglobulin Levels (IgE Specific) Active Versus Placebo

    Changes on immunoglobulin level determinations (specific IgE, IgG and IgG4) from basal visit to final visit and changes in mean wheal area in prick test dose response from basal visit to final visit, active versus placebo.

    Measured: Before (V0) and after treatment (depending on the treatment assigned between 4 and 8 weeks)

  2. Immunoglobulin Levels (IgG Total) Active Versus Placebo

    Changes on immunoglobulin level determinations (IgG) from basal visit to final visit and changes in mean wheal area in prick test dose response from basal visit to final visit, active versus placebo.

    Measured: Before (V0) and after treatment (depending on the treatment assigned between 4 and 8 weeks)

  3. Immunoglobulin Levels (IgG 4) Active Versus Placebo

    Changes on immunoglobulin level determinations (IgG4) from basal visit to final visit and changes in mean wheal area in prick test dose response from basal visit to final visit, active versus placebo.

    Measured: Before (V0) and after treatment (depending on the treatment assigned between 4 and 8 weeks)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing subcutaneous immunotherapy with DPT extract in people with Allergic Rhinoconjunctivitis, run by Roxall Medicina España S.A at 2 sites 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 7 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 6 May 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites 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. 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 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.

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

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 6 May 2019). 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 and Seriousness of Both Local and Systemic Adverse Reactions (time frame: From informed consent signature (V0) until the end of patient participation in the study (depending on the treatment assigned between 4 and 8 weeks )). 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 6 May 2019.
