About this study

This study evaluates the effectiveness of Dupilumab in food allergic patients with moderate to severe Atopic Dermatitis (AD). Included patients participated in the BioDay Registry.

Read the detailed description

The positive results of the dupilumab studies in AD, asthma and nasal polyposis with chronic sinusitis validate the fundamental role for IL-4 and IL-13 in the pathogenesis of these diseases, and add to the possibility that these cytokines are also critically involved in other related allergic/atopic (type 2 immune) diseases that are often co-morbidly associated with AD, such as food allergy.

What is being measured

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

  1. To evaluate the effect of Dupilumab on change in clinical eliciting dose (i.e. lowest dose causing an allergic reaction) in subjects with peanut, hazelnut, walnut, cow's milk, hen's egg and/or soybean allergy

    AD patients with moderate to severe AD who are indicated for treatment with dupilumab and have symptomatic food allergy to peanut, hazelnut, walnut, cow's milk, hen's egg and/or soybean allergy will be included.

    Measured: Each subject will undergo two oral food challenges: one at screening and one during dupilumab treatment with a treatment duration of at least 28 weeks.

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. To evaluate the effect of Dupilumab on food allergy related quality of life

    The food allergy related quality of life will be measured with the Food allergy Quality of Life Questionnaire adult form (FAQLQ-AF)

    The FAQLQ-AF assesses health-related quality of life (HRQL) and contains a total of 29 items. The total FAQLQ-AF score is the mean score of all items with a range of 1 'no impairment' to 7 'maximal impairment'.

    Measured: Before the first food challenge and 3 months after the second food challenge during their visit conform Bioday protocol.

  2. To evaluate the effect of Dupilumab on the level of specific IgE (sIgE) antibodies

    sIgE in blood will be measured using the ImmunoCAP system (Thermofisher, Uppsala, Sweden). Levels of ≥ 0.35 kU/L will be considered positive. Depending on the food the following will be tested: peanut: extract, Ara h 2, 6; hazelnut: extract, cor a 1, 9, 14; walnut: extract; cow's milk: extract; hen's egg: extract; soybean: extract

    Measured: sIgE in blood will be measured every three months during dupilumab treatment

  3. To evaluate the effect of Dupilumab on the biological activity of IgE for peanut and hazelnut and measurement of biomarkers profile

    For patients treated with Dupilumab left over serum is stored except as the patient objects.

    Patients treated with Dupilumab asked to participate to the biobank eczema and/or biobank acute inflammation.

    Measured: The basophil activation test and the measurement of biomarkers on Luminex at baseline and after at least 28 weeks of dupilumab treatment (e.g. at time of second challenge)

Timeline

From the start of the study to its completion; the mark is today. Estimated dates are the sponsor’s plan.

  1. First posted8 Jul 2020
  2. Study start1 May 2019
  3. Primary completion1 Jul 2022
  4. Study completion1 Jul 2022

Why it stopped: Not feasible to include patients (due to e.g. COVID-19, patients with severe reactions not willing to undergo 2 food challenges, lower number of eligible patients than expected)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Food Allergy, run by UMC Utrecht at 1 site in Netherlands.

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 4 inclusion and 2 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 29 Jul 2022. 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 Netherlands. 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?

The study was stopped early (reason given: Not feasible to include patients (due to e.g. COVID-19, patients with severe reactions not willing to undergo 2 food challenges, lower number of eligible patients than expected)). Results are not available in the source record.

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?

To evaluate the effect of Dupilumab on change in clinical eliciting dose (i.e. lowest dose causing an allergic reaction) in subjects with peanut, hazelnut, walnut, cow's milk, hen's egg and/or soybean allergy (time frame: Each subject will undergo two oral food challenges: one at screening and one during dupilumab treatment with a treatment duration of at least 28 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 29 Jul 2022.
