Trial overview
The available study is an interventional clinical trial, which means participants receive a study treatment and the results are compared with another group.[1] It is designed to assess the efficacy and safety of a vaccine for dust mite and Blomia tropicalis allergy.[1]
The trial is authorised and includes 120 participants.[1]
Who can join the study
The trial is for people aged 12 to 65 years who have moderate-to-severe persistent allergic rhinitis/rhinoconjunctivitis.[1] People may also have mild-to-moderate controlled allergic asthma, as long as it is controlled.[1]
This means the study is focused on patients with allergy problems that affect the nose and eyes, and in some cases the lungs as well.[1]
What is being tested
The study treatment is BLOMIA TROPICALIS POLYMERIZED EXTRACT as part of a suspension for injection given under the skin.[1] The active treatment contains D.pteronyssinus/D.farinae/B.tropicalis polymerized extracts 10,000 TU/mL, and it is compared with a placebo that has the same solution and presentation but no active ingredients.[1]
The trial is testing whether this investigational medicinal product can help as an aetiological treatment, meaning a treatment aimed at the cause of the allergy.[1]
Trial phase and status
This study is a Phase 3 trial.[1] Phase 3 trials are later-stage studies that usually look at how well a treatment works in a larger group of patients while continuing to watch safety.[1]
The current status is authorised.[1]
Outcomes measured
The main outcome is the Rhinoconjunctivitis Combined Symptom and Medication Score (RCSMS).[1] This score combines how bad the symptoms are and how much medication is used, so researchers can judge overall control of the allergy.[1]
The score is measured over 4 weeks after one year of treatment, and it is recorded in the participant’s diary.[1]
Patient-friendly terms
- Placebo means a look-alike treatment used for comparison, but it does not contain active ingredients.[1]
- Subcutaneous injection means the treatment is given under the skin.[1]
- Allergic rhinitis/rhinoconjunctivitis means allergy symptoms in the nose, and sometimes the eyes too.[1]
- Controlled asthma means asthma that is stable and not badly affecting the person most of the time.[1]
- Participant diary is the record used by the study volunteer to write down symptoms and other study information.[1]
