Trial summary

The aim of this study is to determine the optimal concentration of grass pollen allergens inducing rhinoconjunctivitis in subjects allergic to grass pollen in ALYATEC allergen exposure chamber. Four concentrations of grass pollen allergen (Phl p 5) are tested during 3-hour exposures: 0, 30, 60 and 90 ng/m3. Read more about this study

About this study

The aim of this study is to determine the optimal concentration of grass pollen allergens inducing rhinoconjunctivitis in subjects allergic to grass pollen in ALYATEC allergen exposure chamber.

Four concentrations of grass pollen allergen (Phl p 5) are tested during 3-hour exposures: 0, 30, 60 and 90 ng/m3.

What participants receive

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

  • Grass Pollen Allergen ExposureOther

    After the screening visit, subjects are randomized into 3 groups presenting a sequence of allergen concentrations with randomly defined concentrations of Ph l p 5 (0, 30, 60 and 90 ng/m3).

    Each participant undergo four different 3-hour exposure sessions to grass pollen allergen corresponding to the four different allergen concentrations.

What is being measured

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

  1. Optimal concentration of grass allergens (Phl p 5 in ng/m3) to induce a positive rhino-conjunctivitis response in subjects allergic to grass pollen during 3 hours of exposure to grass pollen allergens in the ALYATEC Environmental Exposure Chamber (EEC)

    The optimal concentration of grass pollen allergens Phl p 5 in ng/m3 will be determined by evaluating the Area Under the Curve (AUC) of the rhino-conjunctivitis TSS (Total Symptoms Score).

    The value of the TSS varies from 0 (no symptom) to 24 (highest symptoms)

    Measured: 0 to 3 hours

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Time to obtain a rhino-conjunctivitis response during the 3 hours of exposure to grass pollen allergens in the ALYATEC EEC

    The exposure time will be determined by the time necessary to obtain the first uncorrected TSS (Total Symptoms Score) score ≥ 12 and corrected ≥ 10.

    The value of the TSS varies from 0 (no symptom) to 24 (highest symptoms)

    Measured: 0 to 3 hours

  2. Optimal concentration of grass allergens (Phl p 5 in ng/m3) to induce a positive rhinitis response in subjects allergic to grass pollen during 3 hours of exposure to grass allergens in the ALYATEC Environmental Exposure Chamber (EEC)

    The optimal concentration of grass pollen allergens Phl p 5 in ng/m3 will be determined by evaluating the Area Under the Curve (AUC) of the rhinitis-related questions of the TSS (nasal congestion, rhinorrhea, nasal itching, sneezing).

    The value of the rhinitis-related questions of the TSS varies from 0 (no symptom) to 12 (highest symptoms)

    Measured: 0 to 3 hours

  3. Frequency of bronchial response during 3 hours of exposure in the ALYATEC EEC

    The frequency of bronchial response will be assessed by determining the number of subjects presenting at least one drop of FEV1 ≥ 20% during the 3 hours of exposure in ALYATEC EEC.

    Measured: 0 to 3 hours

  4. Use of concomitant medications during and after exposures in the EEC ALYATEC

    The use of concomitant medications will be assessed by determining the number of subjects using at least one treatment during and up to 24 hours after the exposure.

    Measured: 0 to 24 hours

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Grass Pollen Allergen Exposure in people with Allergic Rhinitis Due to Grass Pollen, run by Alyatec at 1 site in France.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

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 27 Nov 2023. 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 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?

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 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?

Optimal concentration of grass allergens (Phl p 5 in ng/m3) to induce a positive rhino-conjunctivitis response in subjects allergic to grass pollen during 3 hours of exposure to grass pollen allergens in the ALYATEC Environmental Exposure Chamber (EEC) (time frame: 0 to 3 hours). 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 27 Nov 2023.
