Trial summary

Cat allergy is the most common animal allergy, affecting approximately 1 in 5 adults worldwide. The prevalence of allergy to furry animals is increasing, and cat allergy is a major risk factor for the development of asthma and rhinitis. Fel-d1 is the major feline allergen, to which 95% of cat allergic people react. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Evaluation of the Ability of a Cat Food to Reduce Respiratory Symptoms in Cat Allergic Patients: Pilot Study

Cat allergy is the most common animal allergy, affecting approximately 1 in 5 adults worldwide. The prevalence of allergy to furry animals is increasing, and cat allergy is a major risk factor for the development of asthma and rhinitis.

Fel-d1 is the major feline allergen, to which 95% of cat allergic people react. All cats produce Fel-d1 regardless of breed, age, coat type, sex or weight. Fel-d1 is contained primarily in the saliva and sebum of cats.

This allergy manifests itself as allergic rhinitis (AR) (sneezing, cold, coughing, conjunctivitis with watering and itching), severe asthma, and irritation and swelling of the skin when scratched.

A new approach to managing cat allergies is to neutralize the allergens at the source by feeding domestic cats a diet containing anti-Fel-d1 IgY antibodies. The purpose of this pilot study is to determine whether feeding domestic cats a food containing an egg product with anti-Fel d1 IgY (PRO PLAN® LIVECLEAT®) induces a reduction of allergic symptoms in their owners.

What participants receive

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

  • Cats fed with PRO PLAN® LIVECLEAT®Other

    Patient with domestic cats fed with an egg product containing anti-Fel d1 IgY (PRO PLAN® LIVECLEAT®)

What is being measured

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

  1. Change of the global Visual Analogic Scale (VAS) mean from Baseline period (Day 0- Day 15) at end period (Day 98-Day112)

    The approach will be considered beneficial if there is a statistically significant decrease in this criterion on the D98-J112 period compared to the baseline.

    Measured: Baseline (Day 0- Day 15) and observation period (Day 98-Day112)

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in France. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Batot Géraldine, PhD (+33 6 08 82 81 47, geraldine.batot@kyomed.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Change of the global Visual Analogic Scale (VAS) mean from Baseline period (Day 0- Day 15) at end period (Day 98-Day112) (time frame: Baseline (Day 0- Day 15) and observation period (Day 98-Day112)). 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 NCT05656482, 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.
